I agree with you on this. By nature of being a clone, it would have the explicit memory of committing the crime due to the crime having been committed before the clone existed which makes it just as responsible and punishable as the original. The clone was a copied consciousness but it was not one that did nothing wrong. To clarify, the clone did not commit the murder but the clone is a copy of an original that did so the clone committed the murder by proxy. If you make a copy of a counterfeit bill then does that make the copy any less illegal than the original counterfeit? Furthermore, I'd argue that the opposite is true regarding the clone. If the clone existed before the commission of the crime then it would have not been the clone that committed the crime but just a being that happens to share all traits and links to the original, however, still capable of its own free will and thus not punishable for the crime of the original.
