Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Re: polygragh test

Defendants/suspects do not determine the investigative methods of the police. If you want a polygraph test done, there are private individuals and companies that will do a polygraph on you for a fee.

Results of polygraph are not admissable in court, however.

Re: polygragh test

Yes, a defendant can be denied a request for a polygraph test.

You have no right to have a polygraph test. However, you can set up your own polygraph test and invite the DA to send their representative to your polygraph and to use the results as they see fit. If they decline your invitation, you could still send them your results. Polygraph tests are generally in admissible at trial. Understand that if you take your own test, its possible that if you pass the DA will the AGREE to give you their own polygraph, and if you pass it, that may be to your benefit.
