If a conjoined twin is killed, is it double murder?

Re: If a conjoined twin is killed, is it double murder?


I'm not sure about US law. Under UK law it would be. Under their law each twin is considered to be seperate. I'd guess US law is the same but I'd need to dig it up.



I can't imagine that would ever happen. I can't imagine any nation/state would sentence one twin to capital punishment knowing that carrying out that sentence would kill the innocent twin too. But if it did occur, IMO, yes, it would be murder of the innocent twin.



OH, HELL YES! lmao

I'm with Fishin.

Mass murder with one .22 bullet. Hmmm.

fishin'

The execution scenario is a common lateral thinking puzzle but I don't think it ever happened.

Is anyone else worried about where, exactly, all these questions are heading?

I think Craven has his evil sights set on some poor conjoined twin pregnant pussycats...and he's gonna do some warped thing from the weirder nether regions of the bible to them - after shaving them - that will lead to their deaths.

And that is one of the cheerier scenarios I have in my worry scedule about all this!

Oh, I am with Fishin'.

fishin' can I be real mean and say that in the triple hom example I dinna say that the twins died?

yes, you could Craven! But then that would just feed deb's theory about you even more wouldn't it??? lol

hahaha!!!!

deb's a hippy. hippies are to be seen and not heard. 'specially on a written medium.

Yaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnn.....how craven thou art, in sooth as well as in name.....how form doth follow function...

O rarely base, do you vex me still? Effigy of woman, you are an irksome brawling scold. Lets meet as little as we can. I desire that we be better strangers.

Hence, horrible villain, or I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhair thy head, thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd in brine, smarting in lingering pickle.
