Because the brothers’ identical features made it impossible for officers who were testifying to point out which one had been found with the key, Judge Ibrahim said she had no choice but to acquit both men.
She called the ruling “a very unique case.” Court officials familiar with the case could not be reached for comment.
Thankfully the judge didn’t go with the more popular “someone has to pay, I’m sorry it has to be both of you” line of legal reasoning.
Especially since the charge, drug trafficking, carried a mandatory death penalty by hanging in Malaysia.
