This little story has no basis in fact, and you'll probably think of me as quite the wierdo for asking, like those people at the institution. But that's never stopped me before. Suppose there was these Siamese twins, each of whom have control of an arm. One of the twins, let's say the one on the right, in a fit of rage, shoots someone. It doesn't matter who gets shot, perhaps it's just a guy out enjoying the fair. The point is that "rightie" commited murder, and "leftie" didn't, and let's also say that there is no way to seperate these twins. How would a judge punish "rightie" without punishing "leftie"?
I bet you have answered this question many times, and forgive me for being such a newbie.
