Lebell I think you answered it best, ie "jurisprudence that it is better for a guilty man to go free than an innocent man to go to jail".

How about switching this to the claim a lady might make against the twins, having had both as lovers within the necessary period and seeking financial support from the responsible one.

Who pays child maintenance? I guess the state does as neither twin can be proved to be the father? Or is this a good case for application of Solomon's wisdom ie they share responsibility, which is obviously contrary to law but makes good sense to me.
