George Zimmerman Passed Police Lie Detector Test Day After Trayvon Martin Killing

"Along with questions about whether his first name was George and if it was Monday, Zimmerman was asked, “Did you confront the guy you shot?’ He answered, “No.” He was also asked, “Were you in fear for your life, when you shot the guy.” Zimmerman replied, “Yes.”

This will shock some of our friends who have been claiming Zimmerman is guilty

Let me be the first to say that lie detectors are "inconclusive".

I don't know if he's guilty or innocent, but there's are reason why lie dector tests are generally not admissible in courts.

You have gone far beyond a mere presumption of innocence.

Let me be the second to say they are "inconclusive". It is well known that there are ways to beat a lie detector.

Also, it is most likely because he is an andriod. So there is that, which is nice.

After reading the article, I am intrigued by this:

Before the CVSA test, Zimmerman--who was apparently not accompanied by legal counsel--signed a Sanford Police Department release stating that he was undergoing the examination “voluntarily, without duress, coercion, threat or promise.”
​

With no coaching and without legal counsel, at a time when he was in emotional turmoil, he voluntarily submitted to the test. To me, that says more than the actual results of the lie detector test.

It's just one more piece of exculpatory evidence as opposed to none that incriminates.

Doesn't mean anything. Tricking lie detectors is incredibly easy. A quick Internet search gives you tips:

Whatsmore, it's very easy for an innocent person to FAIL a polygraph test. It really doesn't test if you're lying so much as it does test you ability to withstand questioning...

The fact that he volunteered without legal council doesn't say much either - if you support him, you'll read it as him being responsive and cooperative (I have no idea WHY you would see it that way though since even if he were doing that, it's just to win points back for the perjury). If you don't support him, you see it as him knowing he could beat it and trying to give himself a leg up.

What we do know is that Zimmerman's wife is in hot water for lying.

Zimmerman's test was not the Polygraph:

We have reviewed the scientific evidence on the polygraph with the goal of assessing its validity for security uses, especially those involving the screening of substantial numbers of government employees. Overall, the evidence is scanty and scientifically weak.

But a "Voice Stress Analyzer":

According to a recent study funded by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), two of the most popular VSA programs in use by police departments across the country are no better than flipping a coin when it comes to detecting deception regarding recent drug use. The study's findings also noted, however, that the mere presence of a VSA program during an interrogation may deter a respondent from giving a false answer.

They cannot be used as evidence. Properly used they can help in questioning, but the results tend to be given more than appropriate weight.

 

[IAmCatwoman]

Technically it's less than a coin toss - only detects 15% of lies. A coin toss is at least 50/50.

It doesnt shock me very much. We do know however, that zimmerman has outright lied and intended to steal. That says a lot more about his character imo. Dont they have more reliable MRI style detectors for this now?

Actually, we don't know that

 

[IAmCatwoman]

Yeah, we pretty much do Mach. The trial for that ain't over but there is absolutely no one doubting at this point that he lied about it.

Also release today with this lie detector thing:

After reviewing the evidence and interviewing Zimmerman, the police detective concluded that Zimmerman's actions were "inconsistent" with someone who was afraid of Martin, and that Zimmerman had several chances to end the encounter without violence.

"Investigative findings show that Zimmerman admitted avoiding a confrontation with Martin while Zimmerman was observing Martin from his vehicle, because, as he told investigators, was afraid of Martin," Det. Chris Serino wrote. "Later in the encounter, Zimmerman exited his vehicle, in spite of his earlier admission to investigators that he was afraid of Martin, and followed Martin in an effort to maintain surveillance of him while Zimmerman awaited the arrival of law enforcement officers. His actions are inconsistent with those of a person who has stated he was in fear of another subject.

The encounter between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin was ultimately avoidable by Zimmerman, if Zimmerman had remained in his vehicle and awaited the arrival of law enforcement, or conversely if he had identified himself to Martin as a concerned citizen and initiated dialog in an effort to dispel each party's concern. There is no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any criminal activity at the time of the encounter. Zimmerman, by his statements made to the call taker and recorded for review, and his statements made to investigators following the shooting death of Martin, made it clear that he had already reached a faulty conclusion as to Martin's purpose for being in the neighborhood."

Still nothing incriminating there

 

[MachZer0]

Yeah, we pretty much do Mach. The trial for that ain't over but there is absolutely no one doubting at this point that he lied about it.

Really? Why do you suppose his wife was arrested for allegedly lying, yet he wasn't.?

Oh, but don't you understand Touma? The Martin was a thug! A THUG I SAY! He popped out from the bushes. Like a.....deku scrub.
