sheesh, good thing we don't let mob rule decide guilt or innocence. it is possible that the woman was abducted and killed by a stranger while out jogging. give the guy the benefit of the doubt. you know, innocent until proven...i kinda like that policy. as a lawyer, i wouldn't allow him to take the poly unless it was privately administered either. so blame his lawyer for protecting him. its what you would want in his position.
lie detectors are fairly reliable but remember, they aren't admissible so there are problems with them. you don't throw your client to the wolves with those odds. let's let it play out, the truth will come. and then string him up if he did it. but some here seem to think there don't exist psychos out there who just nab women and kill them. despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Last I heard it was "okay" for people to have opinions and communicate those opinions in public wether it be in some persons home, pub, library, internet messages boards. Nobody is mob ruling anyone into a prison sentence.
EXACTLY.
