Though I advised the Cleveland office against a polygraph on either of the likely suspects, because true psychopaths are frequently able to "beat the box," the Cleveland office decided to give the first suspect a lie-detector test. Then they called me to tell me the suspect had passed. I asked whether his alibi had been verified, and the answer was, "What for? He passed the polygraph test." 1, record 22, English, - pass%20a%20polygraph%20test
