Han Twins Murder Conspiracy

The Han twins murder conspiracy was a case of attempted murder of Sunny Han by her identical twin sister Jeena Han, occurring in November 1996 in Orange County, California, United States.

It quickly became a sensationalized story in the media. The case brought together several themes, including surviving a broken family through a close sisterly bond, a "good" twin sister and an "evil" twin sister who were both beautiful as well as co-valedictorians at their high school, intense sibling rivalry, and a severe envy complex.

Famous quotes containing the words han, twins, murder and/or conspiracy:

    men may wel often finde
    A lordes sone do shame and vileinye;
    And he that wol han prys of his gentrye
    For he was boren of a gentil hous,
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    If twins are believed to be less intelligent as a class than single-born children, it is not surprising that many times they are also seen as ripe for social and academic problems in school. No one knows the extent to which these kind of attitudes affect the behavior of multiples in school, and virtually nothing is known from a research point of view about social behavior of twins over the age of six or seven, because this hasn’t been studied either.
    Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

    A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Impenetrable in their dissimulation, cruel in their vengeance, tenacious in their purposes, unscrupulous as to their methods, animated by profound and hidden hatred for the tyranny of man—it is as though there exists among them an ever-present conspiracy toward domination, a sort of alliance like that subsisting among the priests of every country.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
