...insisted, "Based on the evidence, I would charge ((Smith)) again today. This wasn't date rape. They had just met. This was a sexual battery, intercourse without her consent." The police, prosecutors, rape counselors and the doctors who examined the woman believed her. During the investigation, she passed two polygraph tests and a voice- stress analysis. She stuck to her story through five grueling interrogations by police and prosecutors and an exhausting three-day deposition by the defense. The bruises on her torso were consistent with the attack she described. Says Bludworth: "There was absolutely no question that there...

By the time the interrogation was over, everyone involved was convinced that Lonetree had been telling the truth when, contrary to Bracy's confession, he said he had never let Soviets into the embassy or involved...
...prohibition is a huge setback for the polygraph industry, which is expected to lose about 85% of its $100 million in annual revenues. But the new law is a boon for firms that offer two other character tests: pencil-and-paper quizzes and graphology, or handwriting analysis. Says Eric Zorn, senior vice president of the Jamesway discount-store chain: "I'm very unhappy about the new law, but I'm thankful we can still use written tests...
