Norm Frauenheim reports<\/a> for the Arizona Republic.<\/em> Excerpt:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Tyson’s training camp in Phoenix has included a lot of punching bags and one polygraph test.<\/p>

In his fight against rape allegations, Tyson scored a victory on a polygraph conducted nearly two weeks ago in Phoenix, according to transcripts of an investigation that was concluded Friday by the San Bernardino (Calif.) County Attorney’s Office.<\/p>

It’s hard to say how the polygraph results, which are inadmissible in court, influenced the decision not to charge Tyson. But the results could have only helped.<\/p>

In effect, they support his assertion that he is innocent of a crime that had been alleged to have happened July 16 in Big Bear, a mountain community about 70 miles east of Los Angeles.<\/p>

At the Phoenix office of polygraph specialist Tom Ezell, Tyson answered four key questions Aug. 8.<\/p>

Three asked whether the alleged victim was forced into sex, whether she was harmed and whether she was restrained. Tyson answered no to each. In the fourth question, he was asked whether the sex was consensual. Yes, he said.<\/p>

On the polygraph chart, Tyson scored +24. According to a scale devised at the University of Utah, he needed a +6 to be truthful. A -6 would have judged him a liar.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
