Yeah, there's no way that's true. Not only is it too dark for the series, it doesn't fit Sunset's personality, not even at her most wicked. Even in Sunset's "darker days", she was never truly evil (she only actually became evil after she became a demon). Yes, she was mean and a bully, but was not really evil. Her behavior was more out of a need to hold onto the position of power she had in the human world.

Really, Sunset was angry and rebellious for being denied what she felt she deserved, which Twiight obtained. She was quick to anger, she lashed out, these signs of someone who is angry at the world, and I don't blame her. She worked hard to try and make somethng of herself, only to have it denied. Yes, she wanted Twilight's crown and teh magic that came with it, but she never had any grand evil scheme. She pretty much improvised everything and made things up on the fly, and when one plan didn't work, she moved on to a new one. Heck, she didn't even follow up on her threat to hurt Spike if Twilight didn't hand over the crown, and pretty much gave up after that (until hearing the EQGs praise Twilight made her snap and attack them).

If Sunset were capable of murder, then she would have just killed Twilight while she slept, not just because it would allow her a clean getaway, but because it would ensure that she wouldn't come after her in the future. So no, the thought of Sunset murdering her human counterpart is ridicukkous (and she certainly couldn't be redeemed or forgiven for that). Besides, it was confirmed by the writers that she doesn't have a counterpart.
