No, I think what he was saying is that the test was commissioned by the defence, and so it would have been up to them whether or not they disclosed the results. I agree that had he have failed the test he would have had rely on Mullins keeping his trap shut, but I assume there would be some sort of confidentiality agreement attached.
Do you think the Governor would have kept his trap shut ?

After years of being asked if JB , could take the LD test , surely he would have wanted to know the results , do you think Mullins keeping it from him , would not find it's way into the public domain ?

If you can cycle across a field in pitch dark wearing a wet suit and without a light , whilst getting no mud on the said bike , you can easily hide a polygraph machine going in a maximum security prison Nugnug !! ;)

What makes you think the governer would have any right to know the results? As to would he keep his trap shut, I suppose that would depend on how professional he is - even prisoners have a right to privacy.

Morning Patti  just read the link to the results of Jeremy's polygraph test.  I noted it stated that Joseph Steele was released by the Secretary of State For Scotland on the strength of him having past the test.  I was quite rightly so corrected by our friend Bridget who said this was not correct.  I read into the case and sure enough Bridget was right once again.  I still think polygraph tests carry some credence I am aware that they are not full proof.  Had Jeremy failed they would have been of course.  I think it is stuff and nonsense to say he failed and Terry Mullins would lie about the results :)

Do you mean the report where he says he passed the 3 relevant questions (even though there were 12)?

I think his test was split (?), hence the three main questions.  If you think he failed nine questions but passed three, we could always ask Mullins?  Mitchell's or his mum's test also mentioned three questions.

Quote
And the expert who conducted it said: "I am absolutely convinced he is innocent."

Terry Mullins added: "He did not show any sign of a reaction, not a flicker which would have shown up guilt."

Now Bamber's lawyers will send the results to the Home Secretary and ask for a third appeal.

Morning Roch  I think you or Bridget should ask Mullins about Jeremy's lie detector test to eliminate the confusion.

OK, will do.  I have others to contact also but am not too hopeful of a response.  See what happens eh.

I'm no expert on this but I think the way it's done is that there are 3 pertinent questions (what they term the 'relevant' questions) interspersed among a load of 'control' questions. The control questions are ones to which you would expect a truthful answer (or the tester knows what the truthful answer would be), and so they then compare the results to see if there was a significantly different response to the 'relevant' questions. The report is then based on the results for the relevant questions.

All of the 12 questions seem relevant to me, so if the test was actually 4 tests (as per JBs comment in the Mirror article), what were the results of the other 3 tests? If it was all one test, why does Mullins not consider the other 9 questions as relevant?
