My evil twin did it. No, really. I'll go get him and you can ask him yourself. I just need to leave the room for a few minutes...

This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened with identical twins, and DNA evidence only makes it more of a problem. If the two of them are in complicity, they can create a reasonable doubt in the jury's minds about which one of them did the crime. It doesn't matter if there's a mountain of evidence indicating that at least one of them is guilty. Unless you can be sure of fingering the right one, based on distinguishing marks or something, they've got you.

The moral of the story? If you're attacked by an identical twin, aim to maim.

First he attacked David Spade and now this? Skippy, you should be ashamed of yourself.
 
2004-06-16 02:34:07 PM
Kill them both. They have the same DNA, basically the same core person. If lived the exact same life/lifestyle they would be identical. They both have the evil gene.

Adolf Hitler had it.
Walt Disney had it.

Shouldn't the jury have convicted the twin with the handlebar moustasche?

Someone actually did a GIS on "Skippy" from Family Ties just to get a laugh from strangers.

God bless you, you magnificent bastard.
 
2004-06-16 02:42:49 PM
Actually Adman12 - I think "aim to maim" is a pretty good idea any time you're attacked, most of the time you wouldn't know if they had a twin beforehand. Also, if I was the innocent brother, the guilty brother would be getting his ass beat for trying to blame me for his crime.
 
2004-06-16 02:44:06 PM

If you read the story, the dumb ass got himself a tattoo. A previous rape victim testified that she saw the tatoo on his arm.


Sheesh. That's as bad as always dressing in black when your good twin wears white, or developing a facial tick. First rule of being an evil twin, be a TWIN.

This particular shallow end of the gene pool is already breaking rocks for a prior rape conviction. No worries.

"Midevil"?

Does that mean, "between two evils"?

You must be referring to Genevieve Bujold then.

Well duh. I mean, sure he's a rapist and all, which can't be a good thing but on the other hand he is probably getting more than I am.

One time when I was in second grade, one of the other kids picked a fight with me and gave me a bloody nose. After I got back from the nurse's, I popped him when I caught sight of him.

Only then did I learn that he was an identical twin, and I just picked a fight with his brother. Fortunately, his brother understood, and soon made it easier to tell the twins apart.

Good defense. His brother's name is Damien...obviously the mark of an evil twin. Therefore, his evil twin must have done it.

In my Junior year at college, a couple of my neighbors were identical twins, and looked very much alike. They both came from Manchester, and lived down the street from each other, but here's the kicker: they weren't sisters. Their sisters chose to go to different colleges.

It was then that my roommate made the astute observation, "I wonder if they look like the milkman?"

Before the trial began, the lawyer for Darrin Fernandez asked the judge to postpone the case so that sophisticated DNA testing that can detect differences in the DNA of identical twins could be carried out, a process that a Boston University professor said could take two years.

But the judge refused to delay the trial.


Brilliant. He knew the judge wouldn't approve a 2 year delay, but now the defendant gets to play the wounded party in front of the jury. Brilliant!

My evil twin, bad weather friend
He always wants to start when I want to begin*
It scares me so, like I scare myself
With that book of Nostradamus up upon my shelf

Playing hangman 'til the morning light
Doing donuts on the neighbors lawn
Then sleep all through the day, get up and start again
I can hear some sirens somewhere but I don't know why

My evil twin runs home again
Search lights look for an alibi, but I'll be home by then

Here he comes again, my evil twin
My friends have seen him hiding underneath my skin

Who cut the arm off the voodoo doll
That resembles a Republican president from long ago
I'd hate to see you leave
'Cause I have grown so grateful for the
Blame you save me from

I have an evil twin. Well he's a clone actually. I grew him so I would have a supply of spare parts in case of injury/illness to myself. Oh, and I don't really know if he's evil because he's not allowed out of his tank, but I bet if he ever does become aware of his situation, he'll be really pissed at me.

''Just because he's an identical twin doesn't give him a pass to do what he feels like,"

What? I thought that's why they became twins, so they could do evil. Look at Michael and LaToya Jackson.

CSI already did the twin theme better than anyone could hope to redo it. The criminal was not only a twin, but a Chimera twin, where he had two sets of DNA. So he would rape women, but a saliva swab would clear him. In the end they found a hair on a victim and the hair DNA matched that of his saliva, but to match DNA with his semen they had to take a blood sample. Being a Chimera twin is when two embryos (hence the different DNA) that fuse together early in development. So the resulting person is really both persons combined.

Here's the first hit on google when searching for Chimera Twin

I think it was the twin that did it. Think about it, the tattoo was on the wrong arm. The guy put on a fake tattoo to frame his brother.

I saw a picture of a chimera twin under UV light -- there are clearly visible stripes on the back where the tissue came from different bodies. The effect may not be visible under ordinary light.

Here's an artist's sketch of the man seen leaving the scene of the crime:

Without a trace did a story like this. A twin was killing women on the East Coast, but managed to convince his twin that he did it while he was drunk. But since he and the twin had the same DNA, there was enough reasonable doubt to keep a jury from convicting either of them. The innocent one wound up confessing, though, which sucked. The FBI agents knew better, but couldn't convince the innocent twin that he was innocent.

It was a good show.
