When identical twins are implicated in a murder, the wrong one is arrested. Why would one brother let the other take the fall for a crime he didn’t commit?
When his eighteen-year-old twin brother Anh gets into a drunken fight at a party, Trung stabs his attacker. San Jose police place both identical twins in a lineup, and witnesses mistakenly say Anh was the one who delivered the fatal blow…a mistake neither brother cares to correct. Their silence was born from their intense fraternal bond, as well as being Vietnamese immigrants in street gangs where snitching is a dangerous proposition. But Anh’s resentment festers as Trung’s guilt for his actions grows. Will one of them spit out the truth or will they both swallow a lie?
In the podcast “Blood Will Tell” from Wondery and Campside Media, host Jen Miller frames Trung and Anh’s story in Shakespearean terms, a tragedy about how far someone will go to protect a loved one. As the brothers recount their life stories and explain their actions, Miller eventually gets the two to address the consequences of their decisions on their brotherly bond.
