Why wasn't this allowed in court then?

This will be my last post to you.

It wasn't allowed in court because polygraph examinations are not allowed in court, and any reference or implication that a polygraph was administered is not allowed in court. That is why it was not allowed in court.

The officers inform DW that he failed the polygraph and KFMB played a segment of it at the top of the hour.

redlipstick posted yet another article, which I was posting an excerpt (obviously) from in which it details Westerfield's reaction to this news. Read the article if you care to--and understand it is a newspaper article, not redlipstick's or my opinion. When I hear the rest of the tape I will hear for myself the exact words and the context in which they are said.

Tomorrow the rest of this block of tape will be played. I would think it will be available on the internet by tomorrow if it isn't already.

BTW, Val is correct. It is a fact that the blood from the jacket was available for testing by the defense. The bloodstain was cut out of the jacket and DNA extracted and the defense could have tested that same segment. You are wrong in your reply to her. You are constantly ignoring facts, or getting them wrong.

It is a fact that Feldman went to trial quickly to hopefully minimize the amount of testing that could be done.

It is not a sign of open mindedness to state that 2+2=5 when it is a fact that 2+2=4. We are dealing with facts here, not vagaries open to any old interpretation one cares to dream up.

Do not post to me again, and do not invoke my name in a post.

You might notice, if you are not too hard-headed, that I discuss things by asking questions and allowing others opportunity to respond. You state your opinions as facts and won't back them up so go cry in your corner if you want.

There is a reason polygraph exams are not allowed in court. Yet many of you are saying that his nod of the head, and answers are proof of guilt.

The officers inform DW that he failed the polygraph and KFMB played a segment of it at the top of the hour.

Thank you for that information. I said I might have missed something. Did he fail one, two, three , or four? Or did they not specify?

Is is possible that any human being, subjected to four polygraph exams, could fail one out of four? Do you have any statistics? Are you just assuming because they said he failed, that is all you need to know? Guilty as hell. Doesn't matter. Fits what I want to believe so I accept what the court won't even allow.

I think the best thing is for each of us to listen, if possible, and judge for ourself. Problem with the poly/exams is without seeing the graph results, you know absolutely nothing. Since you can't see those, your opinion means nothing. Knowing how many he failed, the exact questions he failed, if he had variances on other questions, all these factors make up doing a polygraph exam.

It is a fact that Feldman went to trial quickly to hopefully minimize the amount of testing that could be done.

Prove the above statement, and I will concede that DW is guilty as hell. If you can't prove it, then stay off the threads. Is that a deal?

We are dealing with facts here, not vagaries open to any old interpretation one cares to dream up.

Yeah, facts. He nodded his head. That means....

You and redlipstick keep repeatedly taking things and telling us you THINK it means this. Those are not facts. It is your interpretation.

I have no problem with that, just don't try to disguise your interpretation as facts.

If there was a piece of the jacket left for Defense to test, OK. I do remember that they had destroyed some of the evidence. It was either the carpet piece or the jacket. Want to call me a liar on this too? Bet I can prove it.

Do not post to me again, and do not invoke my name in a post.

What's a matter, afraid? Can't get me to accept your interpretation, so you want me to go away.

I am here to discuss and debate this. I have my side, others have theirs. If you don't like there being another side, another view, go hide somewhere where reality can't get to you. You are acting like a baby and I really didn't expect that of you.
