“Mr. Getty: It would help, if you let, you know, us bring this guy over from Louisville, he’s a former FBI agent, and give you a polygraph. Mr. Laney: Well, I mean, I know polygraphs aren’t admissible and you know. Mr. Getty: Yeah, I know, but I’ve used them and they’re pretty damn reliable. Mr. Borne: It depends on who’s giving [the test], but this guy is an ex-FBI and he really knows his stuff. He’s probably the best in the state.”
