Imagine 2 conjoined twins who are attached at the hip. They are sharing a liver. If they were seperated, there is a 50% chance that either would die during the operation.
Both are fully ambulatory.
One is quite upset at society because of the treatment they receive in public ( staring, comments etc.) so secretly (without the other ones knowledge ) he decides that he will "stab" the next person who makes a negative comment towards them to them a lesson.
The knife is a slightly larger than normal "pocket" knife that many people carry not as a weapon but as part of a swiss army knife for general uses, so the "good" twin doesn't suspect the knife is for anything bad.
One day some guy "says you freaks get back to the zoo", so the "bad" twin stabs him twice in the chest before the "good" twin can stop him from doing anymore.
A criminal case is held and the "bad" twin is convicted. The "good" twin is considered a hero because he stopped the "bad" twin before he could kill the other person.

While this situation might not come up, the point of the exercise isn't to point that out, but rather to give you the intellectual exercise of trying to punish someone reasonably without punishing someone that is innocent.

So now as judge it falls upon you to come up with some sort of a punishment (nothing isn't an answer) that will work for everyone involved (i.e. society at large, the good twin, the bad twin etc.) |
dood - r u taking law - this sounds like a crazi hypothetical - albeit a good one....dahum...
