IMO, that is absurd.. to be afraid to take a polygraph test when you know you didn't do it.
It takes alot more than a polygraph test to convict somebody of murder.
If I were in his shoes, and I was completely innocent as he claims he is, I wouldn't hesistate one second to take the polygraph test.
Clearing yourself of the polygraph allows the investigators to focus the investigations in another direction instead of wasting time investigating a dead-end and that's the first thing I'd want them to do.
And yet, it is often the case, especially when it is your life on the line. I'm not saying I think he is innocent, I dont like the "way he looks" either, but I can understand his mistrust of the polygraph. Its not what most people here think it is.

When they're forming a firing squad for you, don't buy them the ammunition. Let them get their own.
