Identical Twin Brothers Complicate Arizona Murder Investigation (video)

Which was it? Orlando Nembhard, left, has been released on bail amid speculation that his twin brother Brandon, right, may have actually committed the murder

Law enforcement seeing double vision: Orlando Nembhard has been in an Arizona since March 28 on murder charges, but is poised to be released on bail as investigators are uncertain as to whether the suspect in jail should be Orlando or his twin brother Brandon.  Authorities say witnesses have given conflicting statements about who pulled the trigger with some witnesses describing the defendant (by his clothing) as the shooter and others describing his twin brother as the shooter.

As result of their uncertainty. Orlando Nembhard's bond was lowered from $500,000 to $10,000 on Thursday after it was determined that there wasn't enough evidence to keep Orlando Nembhard in jail for the murder of 19-year-old Sir Xavier Brooks who was shot and killed outside an Arizona nightclub on Feb 12.

I guess we learn something new everyday. If you want to commit a heinous crime in the US and get away with it being an identical twin is a step in right direction. It would even be difficult to establish who did it had the murderer left his DNA at the scene of the crime as identical twins have near identical DNA. With no fingerprints in the evidence locker, which would definitively separate the two, the law seems to have it's hands tied. Is this the perfect crime or what???
