Oh, it's much worse than that. Not only would the original be the father, it would also be the same person. Hence, the original could be tried for any and every crime the clone commited.

That fails the identical twin test: is one half of a pair of identical twins who share the same DNA able to be tried for any crime that the other commits? The answer is obviously no.
