Re: lie detector test
Hello there,
The results of a lie detector test are not admissible in trial.
The instrument used is not a scientifically valid instrument and does not pass evidentiary rules to allow the results.

Re: lie detector test
I wouldn't think so. However, guilt or innocence is usually determined by the jury after weighing all of the evidence.
