A:
This man should hire an attorney. A criminal defendant cannot use a polygraph (lie detector) to help get OUT of trouble, since the Georgia Legislature changed this important law over three decades ago. So, why would ANYONE trust a lie detector, to exonerate them?
I top criminal defense lawyer can guide the boyfriend to a PRIVATE polygraph operator, for taking a private polygraph. If he passes that, then MAYBE, so long as the private polygrapher gets to oversee the GBI or other Prosecution test.
