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

I've occasionally wondered the same thing about sexy time. Like, what if they don't both like the same kind of sex? One likes it rough, the other sweet and soft?

I suppose the answer to that is obvious, but it leads me to questions like: how are accusations of rape handled when one twin was consenting? Again, the answer seems obvious, but aside from the biological challenges, conjoining raises a whole host of other minor dilemmas.

May I offer you a possible answer to at least your first question?

Looks like an interesting documentary. One of the twins looks remarkably like Matt Damon!
