Jury Awards $1.5M to Twins Falsely Accused of Cheating on Exam

- Identical twins Kellie and Kayla Bingham received high grades at the Medical University of South Carolina up until their second-year final exam. They were both accused of cheating due to the twins answering 296 out of 307 questions in a similar way. The sisters say they were immediately treated like pariahs by their fellow students and left the school. The sisters later sued the school for defamation. Six years after the lawsuit was filed, a jury awarded Kayla and Kellie $1.5 million.
The fact a medical school can't figure out how identical twins who grew up together, live together, and study together could have gotten similar scores shows that they deserve a refund on their tuition as well.
Dr Bozo provides the finest medical education!
It's not that their scores were similar. It's that their answer correlation was almost identical. For any two students that aren't identical twins picking exactly the same wrong answers would be astronomically unlikely. For identical twins who study together it's still unlikely but within the realm of possibility. The university failed to account shared study, shared genetic predispositions, shared upbringing, and highly intelligent students who will systematically handle questions they don't know the answers to.

Who ever accused them needs to have to sign and swear an affidavit so their name is on the line also.
It’s just become way too easy to just accuse someone and walk away forcing them to prove a negative.
They also should have to pay them lost wages for the years this kept them from being a doctor.
So they ruining their lives with zero evidence that they cheated? They should be tried criminally for fraud.
That's right. Statistics, by themselves, is NOT evidence, although it can lead to evidence. In this case, the school didn't deal with the "why" question, only with the "what" question.
They THOUGHT that they had evidence. The problem is that they had very flimsy evidence.
Just the fact that they scored the exact same on the SAT should have been enough for the university to realize they didn’t cheat.
You don’t even have to be a twin for this to happen. It could happen with your friend/classmate if you study with them
Yes, I remember getting similar test results with my friend cause we always studied together.
I can't imagine how they felt.
Happened to my sister and two other students she studied with.
And yet someone who's supposed to be bright enough to teach others is somehow not even smart enough to figure this out. Pathetic.

The medical school administration didn't consider that two identical twins who have lived together their whole lives, who have probably done everything together their whole lives, who probably still lived together in school, and who probably studied together might have very similar academic results and answers?
$1.5 million is not enough for the fact that they were forced out of their medical school and loss the income of a doctor in their lives.
Newly minted physicians only make about $200k their first year.
Assuming they split the award and get $750k each that's at least 3 years covered.
@@Derekzparty depending on the specialty and where you work. From my experience of personally seeing the offers, they range from $500k - $700k.

This one physician i know was offered $900k at a private practice as a 1st year physician in oregon.

If I was a test proctor I’d be suspicious of such close scores as well…until I found out they were identical twins that always studied together. Little bit of common sense could have saved these girls a lot of heartache, the court a lot of time, and the school $1,500,000.
The test proctor also observed them sliding notes to each other and making signals during the exam. That’s more than suspicious.

Glad I don't have any friends...
Not surprised they treated them like that. Some of the most conniving and psychopathic people go into medicine
They were jealous probably
The school system is a disgrace. $1.5 m is way too little for all that damage to them professionally, emotionally and mentally. $5-8m would seem the basic. Not to mention those who knew them and decided to abandon them on that whim of allegation. Good riddance to such trash acquaintances. Many best wishes and blessings to these 2 twin sisters.

They never became doctors but work for a lawyer. Too bad, the world needs more MDs and fewer lawyers.
The world needs fewer insurance company lawyers.
$1.5 mil is such a low settlement. They would have made in excess of $10mil each if they had been allowed to finish and pursue their dreams.
They did follow their dreams and continued their studies in another university
They're probably making more net income with the career they switched to. They're lawyers at a firm now.
Those supposed friends who disinvited them from weddings and didn't trust them were clearly not true friends. Glad they got rid of toxic people in their lives.

Something similar happened to me and my cousin. We were a month apart in age but both raised together by my grandmother and she treated us like twins. Dressed us the same and what not. We got accused of cheating because our work was similar. We told them we have the same grandma who teaches us the same. They didn't go for it and gave us both two different tests in a seperate rooms. But even with the questions slightly different, our answers were all still very similar. Showing the same thought process but obviously not cheating as they were different tests.
I hope you said apology not accepted.
This similarity is extremely common in identical twins. There have been numerous reports worldwide of twins living thousands of kilometers/miles apart that know the moment their sibling dies, gets injured etc.
I’m glad they won their case. What an insane case. Just because they’re twins who decided to take similar career paths, they’re accused of cheating? It’s sad to see that institutions get suspicious when they see high grades like that. I wish these girls all the success in the world
What's even more sad is that the institution just assumed the cheating without any proof of cheating to begin with.
Also if you study together, twins or not, it makes sense that you would answer questions about the material in a similar way.
That settlement would definitely pay for any school fees/loans if they have any. That's what that school get. Good for the twins.
More like they got their money back and then some.
Took 6 years and devided by 2 tho, its not enough to cover lost time they can earn with medical degree.
Crazy that the ones who cheat never get caught but then they falsely accuse the innocent ones 🤣
$1.5 mil is actually nothing considering they had to leave medical school. After lawyer fees it will be less than 1 mil then divided by 2. And the 6 years they lost.
Something similar happened to me! My freshman year of college in a history 101 class, it was over a paper that we had all semester to write. The professor accused me saying it wasn't me who wrote the paper because "it was the first ever A+ paper she ever got in her class" and she said was going to get me kicked out of the university. I was in such shock and pleaded with her telling her I wrote this paper and it was all me. She was so mad it was the first ever A + paper that she ended up giving me a B-... Looking back I wish I would have gone to someone in higher authority about that because it was so wrong and terrifying.
Yea right... your paper was a C+ at best.
Yikes… that’s awful. What a terrible professor, hopefully they’re not still teaching because they deserve to have gotten fired

I once got called in to test if I plagarized a paper because it was "beyond accademic levels". Everything checked out but the experience rattled me. My sage advice to you: never throw away your draft copies or keep only the final version because they will ask for your draft copies (luckily I had enough research written out that she believed me but not having an older draft almost got me kicked out of uni for something I didn't do)
ouch 😬 they said you weren't smart enough to have written the paper... that's pretty f'ed up
How long ago was this? My university always made us submit our papers to this website that checks for plagiarism. And we had to turn in every draft we've written to keep record. Prevents people from turning in a completely different final paper.
@@burning4rmwithin It was 2016ish (maybe 2017). We only had moodle to submit the final product but certain profs wanted it in person and didn't use moodle. No plagarism checks via moodle either. Cool that they streamlined the process though
@chihauhaun nah this was some time ago...2007-2016 was when I did undergrad+grad.
When I was in 6th grade my teacher asked me if my parents wrote my book report.
_Every time_ we had a book report.
Even though, every time, I told him (truthfully!) that my parents couldn't write that well...
They should have been awarded far more money than that after 6 years of fighting.
Shame on all those "friends" that abandoned them.
My brother and I were in college together and took two classes together. My professor mentioned to me once that he knew my brother and I studied together because our answers were always very similar. Insane to me that a school wouldn't think of this explanation 😳
They for sure knew. Someone had it out for these ladies
What fool thought their scores were suspicious? Usually siblings aren't in the same grade so they cannot study together. Usually they don't select the same major so they wouldn't be testing together. But in THIS case....
Twin sisters that grew up together AND studied together. Why wouldn't they score identically?
Cause the test is a joke many people who score high scores this idiot people think they cheated
Exactly!!😖
For reals
My younger brother and I tied each other point for point on both the SAT and ACT and took the tests two years apart.

They're identical TWINS!!! Shame on every "friend" who dissed them, ghosted them, etc,
Honestly the fact that the school would accuse them of cheating without any actual proof is messed up, especially since the answers were "similar" not identical.

When I asked for proof, they said each test was given a code and because we were teammate and our codes matched up in sequence, it was cheating. She sat a row behind me for the exam and several seats away. We were cleared of the cheating but our coach was furious at the school.
Never make accusations without actual proof.

For so called educated people they sure were ignorant.
They also gave 54 of the same incorrect answers and answered like 290 out of 300 questions the same. The odds of that happening, accounting for them being twins, was determined to be 1 in 10^35. They were also observed passing notes and making signals during the exam. Read the full story.

Five classmates and were accused of cheating. We all missed the same 3 questions. We studied together for every assignment. We made the flashcards together. We divide up the list and make 5 cards each. We proofread each others assignments. We even proofed and tested other classmates projects. Turns out we should have gotten a perfect score, the instructors answer was incorrect. They expected only the one answer but in fact there were 2 correct answers. Ex... their answer was A, but A and B were both correct, so the correct answer was C for both.
Why you didn’t put them 3 questions on the flash cards? I’m curious
They deserve way more, than what was awarded to them.
figuratively sharing the same braincell doesn't count as cheating
The incident where the twins were wronged and branded as cheaters by their school reminded me of a different incident involving a young woman who sued her former high school and won the lawsuit after the school violated her right in speech and falsely suspending her for a week from school because she made a social media post outside of school hours about her venting on not being accepted by the varsity cheerleading squad she wanted to join.
ETA: My bad about the misinformation on the suspension part. It wasn't a week suspension from school but rather a year suspension from ever participating in cheerleading. Again my apologies on the misinformation part because it has been more than a year when that article came out. And for anyone wondering the name of the lawsuit, its the Mahanoy School District vs B.L. lawsuit.
that's so unconstitutional it's almost unbelievable a school would do that. a year's suspension, and for what?? being a little upset you didn't make the varsity cheer team? which by all accounts is a pretty reasonable reaction for a person to have. if anything, the response should've been a thank you for trying out and best wishes toward future tryouts or auditions. not getting offended and banning her from participating in the sport

Bc medical school doesn’t focus on anything that’s not granted by the AMA, aka everything “alternative” “pseudo” or even basic nutrition, it doesn’t benefit the sickness-cycle business model
twins who studied together have similar answers?? shocker! so glad that they got justice bc there’s no way 💀
I’m an identical twin and was accused with my twin also of cheating in school over 20 years ago. It really upset us at the time.

No, the school legitimately tried to argue that in the court case. I'm not joking. They actually tried to argue that identical twins may have telepathic abilities.
even if they cheated, the school has to proof it. That is how the legal system works; it doesn‘t matter what you‘ve done, it only matters if they can proof it.

My childhood best friends were identical twins and they did so many things that were the same without even trying. They wore the same clothes without knowing what the other was wearing (just in different colors), they’d say the same thing at the same time, they were both incredibly smart and tested almost identically when they were in the same classes together. They even would have the same dreams as each other, and as babies had their own language. One could tell when the other wasn’t feeling alright, even when they were miles away from each other. I honestly think theres more to identical twins than we know and this is just one thing we don’t understand about them.
I whole heartedly agree.
Should have been much larger legal award!!!!
How dare the school automatically think that!😡
Something similar happened to my parents when they were in college. They studied together for an exam, and answered the questions similarly to each other, and got accused of cheating. However, they were able to prove that they weren’t cheating.
The twin sisters should also get an apology from the University and from their fellow classmates for all of their suffering and humiliation they have been through!
And this is a medical school?!? Shameful. What a disgrace. Good for these women for standing up to this.

The school needs to know the meaning of identical.
A great story. Justice in court
Institutions of higher learning do not always have the wisest of faculty.
This is why some educational institutions use multiple versions of different exams; that way, it reduces the risk of students cheating AND randomly tests the students on their diverse critical thinking skills

Similar issue at my Uni. If the school *thinks* you cheated-like same code to solve the same problem-then you’re at risk of an honor code violation. It only takes a bad professor to pull the trigger

Good for them, now sue the actual teacher for loss of wages.
I guess that living together, studying together, testing together, being together from babyhood can be interpreted for cheating.
This country needs more dedicated students as these two. I would of thought they would encourage you not reprimand you. Keep the faith and move forward.
I am so happy for you that justice prevailed! And sorry you had to go through all of that!
I'm very glad that they both got the justice they deserved, the fact that their friends & peers abandoned them & treated them like scumbags for the reason of cheating even though it wasn't true makes me think the twins were hanging out with fake friends, I hope they both find more new best friends like really I would've been feeling more than completely outraged if I were to find out my new friend(s) were to be faking on being my friend.

Lost 2 prospective doctors for cheating accusations, for _both_ to only be compensated $1.5 mil _after 6 years_ for their academic and professional losses (and legal fees) which does not sound anywhere near the restitution for a case like this
Sounds incredibly small for six years of delay of med school income.
One good thing they got out of it was knowing who their true friends really were. The fact that these "friends" would believe the school over them is disgraceful. A true friend would stick by their side and remain loyal even at their lowest point. I guess in a way it was kind of a blessing in disguise!!!
