Troy Davis And Lawrence Brewer, A Tale Of Two Executions

[TwoCentPlain]

Did the guy who supposedly killed the cop ever take a lie detector test?

Do you believe in those?

Yeah, I believe in lie detector tests. They work. I took one for a job interview back in the mid '80s. I passed.

If I were accused of a crime and innocent, the first thing I would do is volunteer for a lie detector test. If he didn't volunteer to take one or refused a request for one, then he is most likely guilty.

they refused his request, to take one.

Shame on them, then.

Polygraphs are notoriously inaccurate and easy to beat.

I don't expect you'll even get what I'm saying. I was talking about his stay and the fact it didn't last long. Keep up, Zrin. Keep up!

According to the news this was either the second or third time that his execution was delayed. I would imagine the court just finally said, "we've heard it all before and there's no reason to delay any longer.

I wouldn't say easy, but they aren't 100% accurate

Oh, I just learned that science has proven them wrong. Even the CIA and FBI know this. In any case, clenching your sphincter is the way to pass it because it does detect some physiological signs. I've never taken one, but I read a story about a government spy who did just that.

Lie detector tests are as reliable as a 1-900 psychic. And also the reason they are easily dismissed in court. There are web sites and thousands of ways to falsify them.

I have passed them before for fun with flying colors and I was lying out the wazoo. Like anyone would believe I was the one who shot JFK. I also confessed to being the one that drove Hoffa to the river and dumped his body. Hell, I wasn't even born until 1976 so how does that work, since they were in 63 and 75 respectively.:laugh2:

Who was giving the lie detector tests you faked your way through? The test is only as good as the person giving it. I highly doubt you lied about killing JFK to a NSA, CIA, or FBI lie detector test.

It's a fact that if you know what you're doing you can beat a polygraph test. Besides, polygraphs are not scientifically sound either. Someone just being extremely nervous about taking the test can fail while being fully truthful.

Now, placing a magnet opposite of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, can make lying more difficult.

Tom *****: People lie. They lie all the time. It's just a fact. There are countless situations where lying can give us an advantage in life. Sometimes, we lie just to spare a person's feelings. But just as lying can give us an advantage, it's in the interest of certain authorities and associates to detect our lies. Lie detector tests have been a part of law enforcement investigations for several decades. This, despite the fact that those tests have never been allowed as evidence in a trial. With the march of technology, that could change.

Now, several companies and agencies are experimenting with MRI technology that creates the brain scans they use to spot brain injuries and to study the workings of the brain. Some experts believe that by mapping the brain's activity, you can tell when a person is lying. This assertion is controversial to say the least. But if it's true, imagine the possible effect on our world, if you really could tell, beyond a reasonable doubt, that someone is lying. Would we use this as evidence in a trial? If you suspect an employee of theft or aiding a competitor, would you hook her up to the machine? If you're fiance says he really loves you, would it give you some reassurance if he would be willing to say it under a brain scan?

Naw, no big fuzz; just an ex who was a cop and I stopped by to have lunch with him, and we goofed off a bit, pretty cool actually.

I kind of thought so. Very, very, very few can beat a top notch NSA polygraph.
