Approximately two years ago I was asked by the Indigent Defenders Office in Shreveport, La to polygraph a subject incarcerated in the Caddo Parish awaiting trial for murder. He had been held for 11 months. This polygraph was, in the mind of the public defender to obtain a confession since there were three eyewitnesses. The shooting was of a drive by variety, although the perpetrator stepped out of his vehicle and fired into another car killing a baby. The witnesses were standing approximately 30 to 40 yards from the shooting. The polygraph subject was no saint and had been handled by the police previously. He looked guilty. A polygraph examination was administered at the Detention Center and the subject showed NO DECEPTION INDICATED. This information was passed on to the Defense team. They asked how could this be and was I sure? I suggested the authorities find someone that looked like our polygraph subject. Three weeks later the police took a confession from the subject's cousin who was a look-a-like in every way. Believe your polygraph charts.
