Leon Smuckley

Leon Smuckley is an inhabitant of Timeline, Ohio who entered the news on 7 December 2142 when he was arrested for attempting to marry a female clone of himself, named Leona.

After a judicial process lasting eighteen months – including six unsuccessful appeals – the final judgement was handed down on 8 March 2144. Smuckley was sentenced to two years of intensive psycho-rehab. On his way to the cells, Smuckley commented: My shrink says I should love myself more. I keep telling her – that's what got me in trouble in the first place.

The clone was ordered terminated in accordance with President Clarke's tough new guidelines on clone freedoms, and the manufacturer, CustomClones, was closed down for unethical business practises.
