I have been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Against my better judgement, my attorney had me take a polygraph test yesturday. This polygraph was a privite one that I paid for myself, $ 350.00 !!  Now that I`ve passed it, with flying colors, my attorney is telling me that I now must take another at the State Police Post for the D.A. !! I am refusing to do it. I have already taken one and passed. I see no reason, if these test are as accurate as made out to be, why the D.A. cannot use this one. Now, the only reason I can see for another one, is for the State Police to interrogate me without my attorney, such as he is, present. I know I need another lawyer, but this guy has my money and I am stuck. I just cannot come up with another retainer. There is no possible way. I had to pull a loan to pay this guy !! He is now telling me that without me taking this one at the State Police post for the D.A., I am going to end up spending thousands of dollars fighting this in court, where as if I take it and pass, there`s a 30 to 40 percent chance the D.A. will drop the charges. Well, I don`t have thosands of dollars to spend, but I will not take another of these so called test. My take is, if their all that accurate, than the one I already taken should be enough. so what if the next one will be asked by a diffrent person. So what if it`s the states and not a privite one. The bottom line is, I took one and passed and thats all that should matter !!  :o
