Quote:Jeremy was arrested for possession of child pornography. You're a moron if you think he's innocent. You're also pretty dumb when it comes to lie detectors. Seems the only people complaining about lie detectors are lowlife child molesters like the dirtbags you support so firmly.
Hi, David, and welcome to the AntiPolygraph.org message board. Am I correct in inferring that you are the David Lynch who assisted with the
HelpKaylee.com website? I appreciate your concern for Kaylee. But you're mistaken about lie detectors.
I don't know whether Jeremy Park sexually molested his daughter. But I do know that polygraph chart readings offer no answers in this regard. As you will recall (and has been discussed earlier in this message thread), while Park failed the polygraph administered by Dr. Phil's hired polygrapher, he passed one administered by the Michigan State Police.
As for being "pretty dumb about lie detectors," you should know that the consensus view among scientists is that polygraphy has
no scientific basis. By contrast, virtually the only ones supporting the validity of polygraphy are those with vested interests in this pseudoscience. That would include Dr. Phil McGraw, who regularly uses the lie detector as a ratings gimmick. I think that which you should find outrageous is that McGraw, who with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology should know better, exploited Kaylee's plight by pretending that such quackery as polygraphy could resolve the serious question of whether she was sexually molested.
As you correctly note, Jeremy Park was arrested earlier this year (12 June 2008) and extradited from South Bend, Indiana to Berrien County, Michigan on charges of possession of child pornography. In a plea agreement, he pled guilty to two counts of "possession of child sexually abusive materials" and in August was sentenced to 270 days in jail and five years' probation:

ST. JOSEPH - A South Bend man is expected to be extradited to Berrien County on a warrant for child pornography charges.
On Thursday, June 12, at approximately 11:45 a.m. officers from the South Bend Police Department and the Berrien Springs Oronoko Township Police Department arrested Jeremy A. Park, 28, at his apartment at Bonfield Place in South Bend, Ind.
He was charged with four counts of possession of child sexually abusive material and four counts use of computer for criminal act.
Park was arrested on a warrant issued by the Berrien County Trial Court earlier this month resulting from an investigation that begin March 18.
Park was lodged in the St. Joseph County Jail pending extradition to Berrien County.
On March 18, officers from the Berrien Springs Oronoko Township Police Department responded to a report of a domestic assault at 9064 Kephart Lane, Berrien Springs.
At that time, Park alleged he had been assaulted by his wife. Officers were not able to substantiate that an assault occurred and no arrests were made on that allegation; but, as a result of the living conditions in the apartment along with the incident officers were called to, officers took the Park's one-year-old child into protective custody. Child Protective Services was notified and the child was placed into foster care at that time.
During the investigation a laptop computer was turned over to officers along with information that it contained child pornography on it.
A search warrant was obtained for the computer and it was analyzed by Det. Sgt. Mike Danneffel, a forensic computer analyst with the Berrien County Sheriff's Department.
Pornographic images and movies were located on the computer during the examination. The images and movies were examined by a doctor qualified as an expert in determining a person's age from the recovered evidence. It was determined that two images and two movies containing pornographic material were of an underage female.
Following the investigation by the Berrien Springs Oronoko Township Police Department and the Berrien County Sheriff's Department with assistance from the FBI, Berrien County Prosecutor Art Cotter authorized a warrant for Jeremy Park as specified, which was then issued by the Berrien County Trial Court.
This case remains under investigation.

By DEBRA HAIGHT Tribune Correspondent
NILES -- It's not every day that a television crew from a nationally syndicated television show is filming inside a local courtroom, but that was the case Monday in Berrien County Trial Court here.
Jeremy Park, 28, of Berrien Springs, was sentenced for possession of child pornography.
He had appeared on the "Dr. Phil" show in late 2006 to defend himself against allegations that he has sexually abused his young daughter.
Krista Mehl, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his daughter, and her mother, Bonii Dyjasek, appeared on the show to make the allegations. No criminal charges have been filed as a result of the abuse allegations.
While the allegations made on the television show aren't connected with the pornography case, people from the "Dr. Phil" show were on hand to film Berrien County Trial Judge Scott Schofield's sentencing of Park. They plan to air the sentencing on their season opening show in early September.
In the criminal case, Park was sentenced on two counts of possession of child sexually abusive materials, which carry a maximum penalty of four years in prison.
He had originally been charged with two more counts of the child sexually abusive materials and four counts of use of a computer to possess child sexually abusive materials. Those six charges were dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
All eight charges stemmed from an investigation by the Berrien Springs/Oronoko Township Police Department in March. A laptop computer belonging to Park was turned over to police and pornographic images and videos were found on it.
Monday, Assistant Prosecutor Kelly Travis said she believes Park needs to be monitored, register as a sex offender and have no contact with minor children. For his part, Park said he was very regretful and ashamed of his actions and what it had done to himself and his family.
"It's nice you feel bad for yourself and your family, but the real victims are the children who were portrayed in the pornographic pictures," Schofield said. "They don't have the ability to consent.
"Their self-esteem and ability to form romantic relationships in the future are at terrible risk. There would be no reason for them to be forced into this activity if not for people like you willing to view and purchase it."
Park was placed on five years' probation and ordered to serve 270 days in jail with the first 90 in jail and the balance at the end of the probation term. He was given credit for 61 days already served and must also spend 180 days on tether after he's released from jail.
He must pay $2,120 in fines and costs and restitution of $1,255.74 to a leasing company he bought the computer from. He must register as a sex offender, not own a computer or camera and have no contact with children age 17 or younger. After the sentencing, Dyjasek, her family attorney James Boardman and Berrien Springs Police Chief Milt Agay spoke on camera to the "Dr. Phil" crew.
Agay said he is continuing to look at the child abuse allegations involving Park to see if charges can be brought in connection with that case. The initial investigation was closed in 2007 with no charges filed.
Boardman said he's looking to formally terminate Park's parental rights through proceedings in the Berrien County Trial Court's Family Division.
Dyjasek said she still blames Child Protective Services for not doing its job in protecting her granddaughter.
"CPS didn't do their job," she said. "Hopefully they'll not fail the next child calling out for help the way they failed. ... Not only does Jeremy have a lot to answer for, but also CPS has a lot to answer for." She said she and her daughter will continue to pursue justice for the young girl.
"We are going to pursue this case so there is justice for (the girl), this case is far from over. Krista said today that justice is only halfway served."
one thing you said. It was:
