I saw this on the TLC freakshow that play on Sunday nights here.

The episode was called "I am my own twin".

I wonder if is will affect any court cases or people being released from prison because of dna sampling?

The "host" still has both DNA strands, so if they did thorough testing, they would find both strands and be able to match. This is by no means a new condition, just rare.
