This includes information that he admitted to molesting his son as well, after he was already on probation from the plea bargain he accepted for the original charges of molesting his daughter. |
Based on that, I'm still not sure. The daughter, now eleven claims she was abused when she was three. At that age, I don't see how she can have a reliable memory of what happened when she was that age and as to any medical evidence, a lot happens to a body between the ages of 3 and 11, so if there was any medical evidence, its cause could never be traced to abuse by her father.
As to the polygraph, pass or fail, is generally inadmissible, so the court would still have to rely on the testimony of a very young child, or an 11 year old talking about her memories from when she was 3 which would be destroyed by anyone on cross examination. I can understand why the plea was offered.
It also looks like the ex is hoping for big money here. It would appear they've hired PR people (or maybe their law firm has a PR firm on retainer) and are attempting to contaminate the jury pool.
I'm simply amazed he didn't contact a lawyer before volunteering for a lie detector test. That's just dumb. That at least shows he was either extremely arrogant in that he thought he could beat the thing or dumb as rocks.
