+383 If one half of a conjoined twin is charged with the death penalty, what would happen to the other, amirite?

I suppose he might be considered a accessory to the crime, for not trying to stop the other one; but I think you're implying he's the smaller/weaker twin who wouldn't be able to survive a separation. They might even let the twin who pulled a crime off, similar to how they would let a pregnant woman live.

I'm pretty sure both of them would be charged... Wouldn't they? I mean, they were both there when the crime was committed.

Yeah, but it's different if the non-guilty twin was much weaker, and didn't want to, but didn't really have a choice in the matter.

But couldn't anybody say that? If they were much younger or smaller they could say "he threatened my life if I didn't do it" or something and they couldn't prove that otherwise

I guess. I'm thinking the type of conjoined twin as in they're not the same size, one of them is a hell of a lot smaller than the other, and has to more or less be carted around. I suppose if it was used as a defence, you couldn't prove whether the non-guilty twin was a willing paticipant, apathetic, or tried to stop his brother but was over-powered.

Ooh so youre talking THAT kind of conjoined twin! I get what youre saying now. Yeah that would totally suck to be the smaller twin. He would have to go to jail and whatnot with him, right?
