yeah i did get this from misfits before anybody says :nono:

so anyway a set of conjoined twins, like joined at the hip or something so its basically just 2 different bodies what would happen if one of them killed somebody and the other was completely innocent? actually if they were just joined at the hip they would be able to be separated so maybe that doesn't even make sense

i saw a documentary once and it was basically just a giant head with 2 bodies dangling from it so they couldn't be separated what would happen if one of them killed somebody :suspect:

If it was just one head then it's just one brain so one person with two bodies?

no it wasnt they each had different personalities :hmph:

okay maybe the head thing isnt a good example, but if they were conjoined somewhere where they couldnt be separated

You answered your own question.

No 'maybe' about it. It doesn't make sense. Full stop.

It does actually make sense: if two people were joined in some manner physically from birth, and couldn't be separated then it would be interesting to see what the authorities would do should one commit murder whilst the other is innocent.

Its actually a really good question.

Well the other person is stuck to them, they can't not be arrested really.

I've no idea :laugh: I guess they'd have to reach some kind of a compromise where they have a lesser sentence or they give the other one compensation or something like that

I guess as they would be conjoined, they would have to both go to court, prison etc if convicted regardless of the innocent one....I read a book 'The Girls' about conjoined twins..it was very interesting....especially when one had sex for the first time

you do realise that 'both' of them would have to walk to the scene of the crime.

Have a think and see how sensible it sounds.

Wouldn't they be an accessory though? :suspect:

One of them doesn't have to know that the other's going to commit a crime though..

So let's say the use a gun, a rope, a lead pipe..... how exactly do they manage to get a hold of such without the other one knowing.....

The other person surely would of stopped the person from doing the murder, if it went ahead he'd be to blame as well I think for letting it happen

I don't know & I don't care tbh, maybe one of them got a knife to cut a cake and went and stabbed someone else in the room :shrug: sure it's incredibly unlikely but it's a hypothetical situation, the practicalities of doing such a thing aren't what the question's about..

There is only one solution, find some siamese twins and send them to kill Pyramid

An accessory?! What, like a watch? That's something GaGa would wear :suspect:

But no I do not understand what you mean :joker:

Just kill the one that commited the crime and the other will have to put up with carrying its corpse everywhere

Yeah but not by choice. They'd have been forced to be an accessory.


This is actually a really interesting question and has given me a great idea for some writing. Cheers Scott. :thumbs:

Why bother with the rest of your explanation then if you don't care. :shrug:

I'm only putting up my own different viewpoint - I'm not simply dismissing other people's ideas or views.

LOL. They'd need to be like conjoined Octuplets to stand even half a chance Locke. :D

Just kill the one that commited the crime and the other will have to put up with carrying its corpse everywhere

PMSL. Brilliant solution!

Yeah but there's a plethora of reasons as to how or why it would happen. Maybe one twin got other people to subdue the other and take them to the crime?

Given that blood vessels if they were joined at the hip - that would affect the other one surely? they share the same brain, same nervous system, same blood supply etc.

i have images now of one of the twins going to murder somebody and the other twin is like NO STOP DONT DO THIS and they start fighting eachother :3

LOL...yes....but she successfully arranged a surprise party for her sister..

maybe she waited until the sister fell asleep and put decorations up and stuff but that would mean dragging her around with her when she was asleep D:
