So it's ok for one to murder someone? What if one murders another person after they're caught the first time and don't get punished?
I truly don't know. There isn't recent precedence, but funnily enough, we do have some violence precedence from the twins that gave us the term "Siamese Twins". Chang and Eng Bunker. One of the twins was a drinker and would get violent. He punched a man, but they escaped punishment because the judge ruled he couldn't punish the innocent twin.
There was a case where a man was murdered. This was the case of Lazarus and Joannes Baptista Colloredo. One of the twins murdered a man, and was sentenced to death, but his punishment was repealed whenever it was pointed out that the death sentence would also kill his innocent brother. They were let go.
Here is an article discussing it. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2010/01/a-siamese-twin-commits-murder-the-explainer-s-2009-question-of-the-year.html
