French Police Unsure Which Twin To Charge In Sexual Assaults

Posted by timothy on from the ok-fellas-time's-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In a real life Prisoner's Dilemma taking place in the French city of Marseille, twin brothers have been arrested for a string of sexual assaults. While say they are sure that one of them committed the crimes (corroborated by a standard DNA test), police were told that it would cost upwards of €1m euros (£850,000, $1.3m USD) to distinguish between them using DNA evidence."

    it isn't exactly free to have a bunch of cops go around swabbing at evidence, a judge, some lawyers, a jury, etc.

    I'm going to guess that neither the judge, the lawyers, nor the jury were exactly thrilled about being swabbed either.

    Telekinetically linked? How does that work? Can they move each other around with their minds?
