A pair of identical twins won a $1.5 million defamation lawsuit after they were accused of cheating on a Medical exam.

Their lawyers presented evidence to the court of the twin’s education testing history, showing that they have scored similarly in the past.

Nancy Segal, a professor at California State University, Fullerton, who also runs the school’s Twin Studies Center, testified on behalf of the twins. She told the court that research shows identical twins generally score similarly in IQ scores and specific mental strengths and weaknesses compared to fraternal twins.

“Identical twins do tend to show similar patterns, similar test-taking behaviors, similar wrong answers because they process information in the same way,” Segal later told theThe jury ultimately agreed with the twins’ legal team and Segal’s assessments and awarded them damages totaling $1.5 million last month.lawyers, a decision they arrived at separately, theThe twins told Insider that they hope to one day want to help others with complex defamation suits similar to what they faced.

They probably cheated but since they couldn't prove in court beyond a reasonable doubt, they won. Easy money

That happened to me and my twin in a high school math test.

wow, they could be sisters. uncanny

Since when do colleges care about cheating? They’ve been cheating their students for decades by promoting and issuing bogus degree over non-existent topics (gender studies, etc) that will get them NOWHERE but in debt that the gullible enrollees want everyone else to pay for.

I think I wouldn't go to them as a doctor.

This should give all identical twins a great idea if they ever wanna make some money.
