2 brothers walk into a house, and one shoots shoots and kills
another person; there were plenty of witnesses.

at the trail, the killer pleads and is found guilty, though
he walks free, along with his brother.

how did he get away with it? he was not doing a mercy killing,
nor was it part of his job (police, armed rescue etc)

a cyber to the first correct entry!

He hired Johnny Cochran, easy.

nope. the brothers gave no defence, their lawyers also accepted their guilt. its a technical test- think BROTHERS....

 

[Rougvie]

They were identical twins, so no one could positively identify which one dit it.

As they offered no defence they did not incriminate each other and therefore walked free.

 

[desprateseagull]

near enough!

siamese twins, joined at the hip- one bulied the other into going along, with the gun.

as they couldn't split them, nor jail an 'innocent' party,
both walked free.

I'd do them both for conspiracy to murder at the very least.

The jury might come to a split decision!
