While watching Autopsy XXXIII, Dead and Loving it, there was a piece on siamese twins who were joined by scar tissue that every doctor of that era refused to cut because they didn't know if the two shared any organs and couldn't prevent infection anyway. But the two were actually completely independent people joined by some skin and one small vein.

So, my question: If one siamese twin, permanently connected to his brother, kills his girlfriend in an act of passion and admits his guilt, what happens? How does he get punished?

I recognize that this is one of those law school hypos that gets asked on the third day of crim law, but I skipped that day. Hook a brothah up witcha notes.

there's this:

Which has people accusing the non-actor of being at least an accessory. That still doesn't answer how different sentences are served.
I'm afraid you'll have to give it another hour or so for the definitive google answer to be generated.
