George,

Fascinating opinion. Yet another opinion tossing polygraph testimony which would have been favorable to the defense. And no less than by Hont's himself. It was interesting to see how the NAS report was cited to include the polygraph testimony. That's a new one.

The polygraph seems to be ok to be used for screening, widely agreed to be less accurate than specific incident tests, but not good enough that a defendant can even bring it up (in a specific incidence test) to a jury to defend themselves from a murder charge.

In any case it tells you what the prosecutors think of how valid a polygraph is even when given by one of the best known experts.
