How You Wish That You Have A Twin

I read this article yesterday about a pair of twin in Switzerland who got away from paying their parking ticket because the authority cannot ascertain who was behind the wheel as both of them accused the other;

Swiss officials say they are powerless to act against identical twins who have run-up hundreds of parking tickets and blamed each other for the offences.

They say they cannot punish Harold and Michael Lengen, 38, for parking offences committed while driving around Winterthur.

Police say that in the last year alone the twins have collected 29 parking tickets on a car which they both share.

This brought back the memory of Raj twins, Sathis and Sabarish. They escaped the gallows after one of them were accused of drug trafficking. However as the judge cannot tell who was guilty between the two, she has no choice but to throw the case. They got away scot free as even the DNA evidence cannot tell them apart. Such luck!

A PAIR of identical twins reportedly escaped being convicted and hanged on drugs charges due to confusion over which one of them was the culprit.

The 27-year-old twins, R Sathis Raj and Sabarish Raj, had been charged in Malaysia with trafficking cannabis and opium in 2003. But police had trouble identifying which one was in possession of the drugs. 

"This is a very unique case as they are identical twins. Even the DNA evidence could not prove anything as the DNA could be either Sathis' or Sabarish's," said High Court judge Zaharah Ibrahim.
