As noted on the blog, Benjamin Lawrence Petty of Oklahoma has filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court appealing the revocation of his probation, which was based in part on polygraph "evidence." The case has been assigned Docket No. 22-5468.

Ultimately, the Supreme Court only entertains a small number of the many petitions it receives each year. However, in the event that Petty's petition were granted, the case could have significant implications for post-conviction polygraph screening across the United States, and thus I think it's worth mentioning here.
