It'll be a split decision.

Are they rich and white?

I'd say nobody. Not putting innocent people in jail is more important than punishing criminals imo. But idk what to do with the guilty half instead.

I think it should depend on the conjoined twin capacity to prevent the murder.

If he had enough control over the body but didn’t try to stop the murder he should be at least held a little responsible.

If he wouldn’t have been able to prevent the murder then he’s just a witness and shouldn’t be put in jail no matter what.

And now I wonder what would happen if the conjoined twin could be sentenced to death.

Well they just are extra not allowed to commit crimes. Like way more than other people.

I was curious if this has even happened before and can't find anything. Not even working together and both being guilty. I guess conjoined twins don't get up to much mischief 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've occasionally wondered the same thing about sexy time. Like, what if they don't both like the same kind of sex? One likes it rough, the other sweet and soft?

I suppose the answer to that is obvious, but it leads me to questions like: how are accusations of rape handled when one twin was consenting? Again, the answer seems obvious, but aside from the biological challenges, conjoining raises a whole host of other minor dilemmas.

yes

I think the human rights of the assailant always outweigh those of the victim in these situations. Neither of them goes to prison.

Assuming it is ever right to cage a human as punishment, i guess one would need a special room on the exterior wall of the prison.

Inside the room (and prison?) both are unencumbered (the free one is just visiting for the twins sake), but in order to leave (as one has the right to) the other must don one of those shrouds from the Foundation series.
