Beloved Brother

DNA evidence from a multimillion-euro jewellery heist in Berlin leads to twins with a criminal record, but since the evidence could point to either one, German law says that neither can be convicted.

German law stipulates that each criminal must be individually proven guilty. The problem in the case of the brothers is that their twin DNA is so similar that neither can be exclusively linked to the evidence using current methods of DNA analysis. So even though both have criminal records and may have committed the heist together they have been set free.

The perfect crime? Expect to see this on CSI soon ;p

    That one was on Law and order already but with a twist. It was twin boys but one got damage on his dinky and they turn him into a girl. Any way when they for out with happen to them they killed the doctor that was working with them.
