This puzzler was for all the legal minds out there in the audience. We do know we have a lot of lawyers in the audience. Lawyers for GM, Ford... All of them! 
There may be more lawyers listening to this show than any other occupational group.

Okay here's a recap of the puzzler. This one was about the law.

A man is accused of a crime. He comes before a judge and jury and is tried for this crime. A heinous crime, by the way. Like jaywalking, or murder, something like that...

He is convicted. Found guilty. So he's accused, tried, convicted and then the judge says, "Your guilt has been established. The jury has found that you're guilty. But by law, I am compelled to set you free."

And the question I asked was why? My brother thought he had the answer. He guessed that the crime he committed was he committed suicide. That is a great guess, but that's not what we were looking for.
Very close. That's the only crime for which you can be accused only if you're unsuccessful.  

But I wanted to know what kind of crime could this person have committed for which the judge was compelled to set him free. Why did the judge set him free?

Well, here is the answer. There was no crime for which he could have been set free, but there were some extenuating circumstances in this case. 

He was a siamese twin.

See, it would be unfair and immoral to punish the innocent one if the guilty one were attached to him.

So, the judge had to let them both go.
