	I was just informed that I must take a polygraph test to prove myself innocent of a crime that has no witnesses and no positive time of occurance. Why am I a suspect? Because I slammed the door in someone's face and then about two months later, they had 1600$ worth of damage done to their car. I want to know how they have a case against me and if I should take a polygraph to prove my innocence. It is hear say really, and shouldn't the occuser have to submit to one as well?

	Dali, You don't have to take the polygraph. Persons suspected of a crime are under no legal obligation to submit to a polygraph "test," and you would be wise to refuse. Polygraph "testing" has no scientific basis. The main purpose of the "test" is to get you into a room with an interrogator in the absence of legal counsel. You are not legally obligated to prove your innocence. If a prosecutor wants to charge you with a crime, he/she needs to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. For more information about polygraphy, and to better understand why it would be unwise to agree to a polygraph interrogation, see, The Lie Behind the Lie Detector (especially Chapter 3). I suggest that you speak with a lawyer about your situation and not allow yourself to be further questioned without legal counsel present.

	Dali, Are you sure you are not leaving more out of this than you are letting on? Either way, my best advice is to get a lawyer and seek his/her legal counsel in the matter.
