i mean come on, the other twin would of have to be involved as well because if the "good twin" was just standing there watching the crime, they would be involved. i think the "good Twin" would see it coming and realize that his or her twin needed help and call the police or a doctor ahead of time. BUT if this did ever happen, maybe they could be under house arrest and when the other twin had to go out the "evil twin" could be heavily guarded or in a straight jacket? but knowing american government they wouldn't care and they would send both to jail. maybe give the "good twin" better food or something.

If the other twin had a good attorney and it could be proved that they were knocked out or something like that,maybe,the one that didn't has much lower IQ. you could tie it up in the courts forever or they would have to come up with punishment that effected one and not the other. It takes creative Judges for that.

Well the other one must have known about it so they'd be tried as an accessory. I guess then they'd average the sentence.
What crimes could a Siamese twin commit? The mind boggles. Incest would be the most likely one......

They would conclude that as the other twin did not resist enough to prevent the crime happening, he would be guilty by association! Excuse the pun!

Obviously, the twin would have to go with the other to prison. I would imagine the innocent twin would be ticked off for awhile but would have to become resigned to his fate.

One could not commit a crime wthout the other present. Therefore both would be guilty as no one stopped the crime.

The entire organism would be incarcerated. The other twin would probably be seen as an accomplice.

I guess it would rule out the concept of "solitary" as well. But who cares? Y.A.F.P.

ONE WOULD HAVE TO WEAR A STRIPPED SUIT AND THE OTHER WOULDN'T. ONE WOULD GET ONLY BREAD AND WATER AND THE OTHER STEAK AND EGGS AND ICE CREAM AND WHATEVER HE/SHE WANTED TO DRINK. ONE WOULD HAVE A BALL AND CHAIN ON THEIR ANKLE AND ONE WOULDN'T.
