Q: How can I request a lie detector test for a loved one ?
I want to request a lie detector test for a loved one because he drank some medicine while being on his probation monitor and he did not read the ingredients that the medicine had alcohol and now he is doing 90 days in a program for drinking medicine and it’s just really unfair because he he’s in their for medicine not alcohol and now he will miss the birth of his first child .
A: 1) Unless you are counsel of record, you do not have standing to request a lie detector test for a defendant; 2) Results of polygraph tests are inadmissible as evidence in Court; 3) If sentence has already been imposed, it is too late to submit the issue you discuss to the Judge. Good luck.
