Ah, yes, but suppose it was a crime of passion, and it was the other twin that reported the first one. In such an unlikely situation, with a good defense attorney, the murderous twin ought to be able to not go to jail. Doing so would obviously punish the other twin, who has done nothing wrong.

It seems to me if the "innocent" half of the conjoined twins did not call the police or in any way try to alert or stop his/her twin, he or she may be found guilty as well. Especially if the murder was premeditated, he/she would probably have heard something or seen the gathering of weapon/weapons. If it were a crime of passion, they better get on the blower! To be silent and witness a murder going on, it really does not matter if you are even related. Guilty for standing by and doing nothing.
Interesting question.

Yes they would. As for the second part of the question; that depends. It would be real easy to say "why didn't the other twin stop them?" Right; and what if they couldn't because they were right handed and only had a left arm? Just kidding of course.

Probably would go to jail. But I would take a long hard look at why the whole 'enity' committed a crime-- it might be just a ploy to get the gov't to pay for a seperation :)
