Ohio Court Admits Lie Detector Tests As Evidence

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the good-enough-for-maury dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Last month, an Ohio court set a new precedent by allowing polygraph test results to be entered as evidence in a criminal trial. Do lie detectors really belong in the court room? AntiPolygraph.org critiques the polygraph evidence from the this precedential case (Ohio v. Sharma)."

    I was thinking about moving to a different State, but hadn't figured out which one. Now I'm down to 49 possibilities.

    Given your subject line of "Ohio, eh?" and you're moving to a different state, and that you're down to 49 possibilities, I can only conclude you're one of those that view Canada as the 51st state. Come on up, we've got plenty of room, beer, and freshly-clubbed baby seals to go around. You do like hockey, eh?
