TWIN CONFESSES TO MURDER THAT JAILED BROTHER

On the witness stand at the Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago Thursday, Karl Smith made a shocking admission.

“I’m here to confess to a crime I committed that he was wrongly accused of,” Smith told the court.

“He” was not just anyone — it was Smith’s 38-year-old identical twin, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Kevin Dugar, Smith’s twin, has been in custody since the 2003 killing of Antwan Carter, the paper reported.

The admission was emotional, but authorities are far from convinced, according to the New York Post.

Also incarcerated, Smith is serving a 99-year prison term for an armed robbery in which a six-year-old boy was shot in 2008. He recently appealed that sentence but it was denied, the Post said, so he had nothing to lose by admitting to his brother’s crime and securing his release.
