Helen Kennedy of the New York Daily News Washington bureau reports. Excerpt:
Insisting Chandra Levy was randomly attacked while jogging, Rep. Gary Condit’s lawyer said yesterday he would advise him to take an FBI lie detector test — if asked.
“Yes, I’d strongly consider an FBI polygraph,” said Mark Geragos, Condit’s third lawyer. “If they thought that was going to help, I would say cooperate.”
Geragos said he hadn’t mentioned it to Condit because police have not made a request. “Nobody’s asked me,” he said.
Condit fueled suspicions last year by refusing to take an FBI lie detector test. Instead, he paid a private polygrapher to administer a test, which he passed. Police, however, said it was of no value.
