  • Identical Twin Criminals Live Life Of Trouble – One Goes To Jail For Murder ‘Committed’ By Brother

    Growing up I knew one cheeky set of identical twins, and some of the creative ways they would prank people we knew was pretty good watching.

    Then there’s those sets who take things just a little too far, like Karl Smith and Kevin Dugar.

    Despite their different last names (Karl chose his mother’s maiden name) the 38-year-olds are near impossible to tell apart, and those similarities also carry across into their lives of crime.

    The Sydney Morning Herald reports:

    Growing up the men behaved like “one person,” sharing socks, shoes and food. By the time the men grew up, they were active gang members who sold drugs and impersonated one another.

    “We was acting as one,” Smith [left above] told the court, according to the Tribune. “Where I was, he was, acting like each other. He pretended to be me, and I pretended to be him.”

    Smith testified that he never admitted to the 2003 killing of Antwan Carter, not even when his brother had been accused of the killing and was preparing for trial, according to the Tribune.

    It wasn’t until three years ago, Smith said, that he finally wrote his brother a letter admitting to the crime.

    “I have to get it off my chest before it kills me,” Smith wrote. “So I’ll just come clean and pray you can forgive me. … I’m the one who and shot and killed those two Black Stones on Sheridan that night.”

    “The reason I didn’t say [expletive] at the time was because I didn’t and couldn’t find the strength to do so at the time,” he wrote in a second letter.

    Karl has now admitted to the murders in court, murders that his brother has been in custody for since 2003. The thing is not everyone’s buying it though, because Karl is already serving a 99-year sentence for an armed robbery that resulted in the death of a six-year-old.

    “He’s got nothing to lose,” Assistant State’s Attorney Carol Rogala told Judge Vincent Gaughan, according to the Tribune, noting that Smith’s confession didn’t “fit the independent eyewitness accounts of what happened”…

    If a judge decides Smith’s story is credible, his brother would be given a new trial for the 13-year-old killing, which took place on Chicago’s North side.

    There is one person who has no doubt the men are telling the truth: their mother.

    “He wouldn’t lie about that,” Judy Dugar, referring to Smith, told the Tribune.

    I dunno mom, seems like your terrible twosome are more than capable of a few untruths.
