Twins' DNA dilemma for French police

Guess it's time to spin the old coin

Quote:

Police who are investigating a series of sexual assaults in the southern French city of Marseille have arrested identical twin brothers.
The 24-year-old unemployed delivery drivers, named locally as Elwin and Yohan, were placed under investigation on Friday.
Officers say they are sure that one of the two men carried out the attacks, but that they do not know which.

Flip a coin. Put one in slammer. If it happens again, bingo.

Good thing I'm not in law enforcement.

Is DNA the only evidence they have in this case?

A relative told Berliner Morgenpost that upon their release the twins were “proud of and thank the German legal system.”

I bet they were
