If one conjoined twin commits a murder without the consent of their twin, will both have to go to prison or nobody?

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.

Not disagreeing but I don't think it's appropriate to refer to one twin as a "half"

Afaik it's pretty common to call twinks "halfs", conjoined or not. I'm a twin, and I've been asked about "my other half" my whole life. Same thing with couples, or any two people who are perceived as belonging together for some reason.

it's pretty common to call twinks "half's"

That is a brilliant typo

Can't hide my gaming history 😅

It's half a set of twins. It's okay.

I don't speak for my clone, let alone all twins. But I don't care. I rode a bike down the side of a highway with no helmet as the logging trucks passed us by: this label will not hurt me.

The person per person count is slightly skewed for conjoined twins :)
