Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Re: lie detector results

No, the results cannot be used in a criminal case. But I guarantee you that if you fail, the police will do whatever they can to have you prosecuted.

You should know that anything you say in your civil case can be used against you in a subsequent criminal case. You should let your lawyer do all the talking.

Re: lie detector results

This is a huge nightmare. The short answer is that, no - the polygraph (lie detector) results are not admissible against you at trial. Of course, whether the police will consider them in deciding to arrest you is a different story.

You are in way too deep to mess around. You need a criminal defense attorney on board with you to advise you and hopefully help you avoid something that may end up costing you years, if not life, in prison.

Re: lie detector results

If you have an attorney in this civil case, ask him, as he knows all the facts and issues. If you don't, get one immediately. You can not, and will not, get 'legal advice' from this site, only general guidance and 'pointing in the right direction'. You are at high risk, and should not be seeking and taking anonymous hints and tips when your freedom is at risk. You should not be volunteering any information, confessions, testing, etc without the advice of counsel and without adequate control of the use of such things. If this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me if you are serious about getting counsel to protect you.
