Edit: also polygraph tests average around 95% accuracy usually.
1 in 20 is still quite a large proportion of people to be be caught falsely in a lie. Out of 1 million people people that is 20,000 people.. obviously in this case it’s irrelevant because their is clear evidence and a confession, but relying on polygraphs tests alone is not evidence |
I don't think you can use a polygraph as evidence in court because of that which is why the detectives were pushing for a confession so hard, I also think its why they made the suggestion to him that maybe Shanann had killed the girls, to make him feel like he can confess without confessing to being evil, kind of a thing? It was pretty clever I thought
