Should Raven take a polygraph test?

Me too Spanky, me too.

Early on, had he taken the polygraph, I would be less suspicious of him. If he takes one now, I don't think it would make much difference, though I would put more stock in one administered by LE than a private place.

 

[LTUlegal]

I agree with all of you. Had raven taken a poly earlier, I might have put more stock into the outcome. Now? No friggin' way. He believes all of his lies at this point & that's all he needs to pass any poly, in my opinion.
And, yes...Jackie Peterson, and just for fun, look up Frederick Harlan Coe's mother. Same person, different day.

..it just boggles my mind, that not only has he NOT taken a polygraph-------on day one, day two-----------day 30-------instead, he packed up and moved clear across the country!

..why on earth would an innocent man NOT have stayed and helped/hounded LE every possible moment to find out who could have done this horrendous crime ????

..it just makes no sense whatsoever to me that he would leave this VERY unfinished business behind------------------for SOME reason, the raven couldn't wait to get out of NC ----and 'move on' in Utah......socializing, dating again, ----doesn't come across that he cares too much about what happened last april ..

..a clue raven:--------------your wife ( and unborn baby ) were MURDERED----------what are you doing about that ?? (oh right,nothing.)

Um, it makes sense to me. When you want to get away from the scene of the crime because you're guilty...don't take a polygraph test, because it could show you're a liar...and run, run as fast as you can! chump!

Yep, but he's a proven liar with or without a polygraph.

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

It's been a few days since we opened this thread ... has he taken that polygraph he promised LE yet?

Come on Raven, give us a reason to believe that you're cooperating. An innocent man that thinks that his wife was "the epitome of what a woman should be" would certainly cooperate with LE to find out who committed this horrendous crime against his beloved wife!

 

[terminatrixator]

He will NEVER take a polygraph. He has the guts to kill his wife and unborn child but not to take a polygraph, what a man!

 

[RainbowsAndGumdrops]

I do have to say that it is easy to fail a polygraph test. Many government and military people have to pass polygraph tests. I have known so many people that have failed. Some have tried to hide things like drug use, but others have simply been nervous. I would give him a lot of credit if would have passed (you can't really fake passing a poly), but I would have questioned a failed result, if they only tried one time. Many people that fail (don't pass) and have to retake a test a few times to calm down enough to pass. In those instances, the results are just unclear...so you don't "pass". I guess that we have to assume that if they were unsure of the results, the LE would retake the test until they were confident with the results and not determine a pass or fail until then.

 

[terminatrixator]

Yes, it is true, that you could be nervous and flunk.

It is not used in a court of law, so its a moot point, but I would be interested in him taking one at the Durham Police Department.

However, had Raven taken this polygraph the day after the murder and passed, many wouldn't be focusing on him.

I wouldn't have been as charming as I am had he taken it the day after and passed, but I would still be focusing on him whether he passed or failed, I don't think with everything else there is on The Rave that passing or failing would sway my opinion of who committed this crime.

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

I think that a large percentage of those that fail the test without actually lying do so because of improper administration, poor questions, etc. If you have an experienced operator with the correct questions, a lot can be gleaned from one. And it is possible to get a false pass, especially in the case of sedation or sociopaths.

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

Bump. Take the test, Raven. For God's sake, help to move this investigation forward!

 

[terminatrixator]

JG - it will NEVER happen because he will fail; he knows it, we know it, everyone knows it.

There's a bigger chance of monkey's flying out my butt than him taking a polygraph in Durham, NC.

Well, with all of the changes that have been occurring within his family lately, I thought that maybe he had a change of heart as well. :innocent:

 

[terminatrixator]

I don't think Raven believes he will ever be arrested or convicted of this crime and probably feels there is no reason to volunteer information. I doubt he will ever show his face in North Carolina again.

I'm betting he thinks he's free and clear and has no reason to confess, plus I don't think he has a conscience or a heart, so he wouldn't know the concept of clearing his conscience or having a change of a heart and again.... there's another bigger chance of monkey's flying out my butt than these two things happening.

Barton Corbin thought he got away with it too and after all those years, the families of Jennifer and Dolly finally have justice.

He's going to pay for murdering Janet and his unborn child eventually, the waiting is the hardest part.

 

[RainbowsAndGumdrops]

I used to think he should take the test, but his actions seem to indicate that he doesn't even care about Janet, her death, or that he did it. He seems so cold hearted that I really don't think his heart would race or that his emotions would change when asked about the situation. - Just my opinion.

You could be right - especially the more time that passes.

I really don't care if a person (or Raven) takes a lie detector test or not so I voted no. They seem to have some investigative value, but in the long run it's all of the other evidence that gets the convictions.

 

[OriginalJerseyGirl]

I think that a person's willingness (or lack thereof) to take a polygraph is often telling, however. Raven's had a lawyer since day one (or two?) so what's the problem? I'm sure that the lawyer can set it up so that it's fair. So whaddya' say, Raven? Why don't you have your lawyer set it up so that at least we can move on from here if you pass the test?

 

[terminatrixator]

I believe it was stated here that he went to Police Station right after the murder, left it somewhere between 3 - 5 am and was due to be back a little later in the morning and had lawyered up b4 then, so he had an attorney with 10 hours of the murder.

A polygraph doesn't mean so much when it comes to trial, but not willingly taking a polygraph after your wife and unborn child is murdered and retaining an attorney hours after the brutal murders is very telling imo.

Also, the fact that he has not worked with LE, he has not appealed to the public, he has done absolutely nothing but run to Utah, should also be a huge indication that he is hiding something and would miserably fail the polygraph.

IMO he had everything to do with these murders and how anyone, friends or relatives, can believe he is innocent, or how he can talk his way out of this with them is mind boggling.
