A lawyer for the owner of three pit bulls that mauled 10-year-old Shawn Jones said yesterday that a lie detector test given to his client proved the dogs were not attack-trained.<\/p>

Contra Costa County Deputy Public Defender Michael Friedman said 28-year- old Benjamin Moore of Richmond had passed the test administered through his office Friday by a retired 23-year FBI veteran polygraph operator.<\/p>

“I think it says (Moore) was being truthful to the police when he gave them the same information — that his pets were just pets,” Friedman said.<\/p>

…<\/p>

Friedman said he was prepared to use the polygraph test in Moore’s defense if felony charges were filed, although it is up to a judge to decide whether the test results will be admissible in court.<\/p>

“We certainly would try,” Friedman said. “(Moore) has a due process right to have these results submitted. The truth should win out.”<\/p>

Friedman said the results of the lie detector test had been independently reviewed by a second polygraph operator, also a former FBI official, who reached the same conclusion as the first. Both results were confirmed through a computer program, Friedman said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As those who have read The Lie Behind the Lie Detector<\/a><\/em> will understand, Benjamin Moore’s passing a lie detector test is evidence of nothing, and should never be admitted in a court of law.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
