It is interesting that the attorney doesn’t say who administered the polygraph. The expertise of the person administering the test as well as how he/she chooses to word the questions could have a great impact on pass/fail.

In Adam's case and in the "New America" we are guilty until proven innocent.
He should never have been suspended without being convicted in court.
PERIOD.

Correct! I know nothing concerning the guilt or innocence of AA. What I do know is lives are ruined by these accusations. The Duke Lacrosse team and AJJohnson come to mind. These he said, she said cases always do harm that can’t be erased.

If proven innocent, he probably has a multi-million dollar easily won lawsuit against UGA, if he wants it.

A subject matter expert always administers it, in this case I am assuming someone famous and expensive with lots of court experience.

Upvote if the passed polygraph is good enough for you, down vote if it is not.

How do you figure? He was indicted for a felony. Any case he has will be against the accuser and the municipality that brought the charges. Not UGA.

Steve would never use somebody not properly accredited.
The questions asked will be the issue.
Highly possible Adam believes it was consensual and she doesn’t or by law she wasn’t able to give consent even though by logic of Adam it was.
You also have the other girl that came forward and said Adam forcibly removed her leggings…a year before. This one I am not sure would stand up in court other than it supports first.
Steve likely signaling to them that you don’t want to take this to trial or go civil. At this point, it’s Criminal so it’s DA decision not girl.
Could be wrong but unless she just recants, DA will push forward.

This is common practice for defense in sexual offense cases. They retain their own polygraph examiner. Often the defendant will not consent to a polygraph administered by law enforcement or the prosecution. A lot of time, the prosecution won't even bother with polygraphs anyway, since they aren't admissible in most court systems.
If they suggest guilt, it provides no real value to the prosecution because defense will simply argue the unreliability and inadmissibility. If it suggests innocence, it's only of use to the defense in the court of public opinion. Because the defense polygraphs are done by hired gun "experts," defense and prosecution polygraph results often differ in conclusions.
Bottom line: This is fairly predictable tactic by Adams' attorney at PR and if he's lucky, to influence potential jury members. It's fairly meaningless otherwise, as polygraphs are mostly worthless.

Meaningless for polygraphs. The telling thing will be if the prosecutor requests Adams to take a polygraph administered by their expert...and if he agrees or not.

Accreditation of expert isn’t meaningless, but we are saying the same thing. It’s just a tactic to show he is gonna fight. It won’t do anything to DA unless other info comes out.
I would think if they had anything that was a major contradiction to her statement (texts saying I’m coming to screw your or multiple prior sexual relations), they would have let it fly by now.
It also is good to get the info out there should it go to a jury at some point.

A not guilty verdict doesn't equate to proven innocent. UGA is not at risk no matter what happens.

“Victims” are not administered a polygraph. Investigators / Officers are not even allowed to bring it up during their investigation. It’s deemed “insensitive”…… accusers can pretty much lie all they want with no recourse. As far as suing the accuser for false accusations… good luck with that! The vast majority of false accusers face no repercussions for their actions.

Georgia is one of several states where polygraph results can be admitted if agreed to by both prosecution and defense. So if the police or prosecutor asked, and Adams was willing, AND he passed a test that they administered, it could maybe sway the prosecutor as far as a plea deal or some other consideration. At least maybe get the prosecutor thinking differently.
Not real likely to happen, though,since there's always the risk of passing one and then failing the other. Despite accredited examiners, the questions could be different, not to mention taking it under less "friendly" circumstances.
With just the one result, it's to get the public to hear it and hope some jurors have heard ahead of time and maybe create some doubt.

No totally true. If there's strong exculpatory evidence and eventually the accused is cleared, along with some sort of evidence to indicate an intentional attempt to harm (making up something purely for vindictive purposes or to get money etc.), accuser could later be charged with false report, perjury, etc. This has occurred. But a situation where people were drunk isn't likely to fall into that category.

If he survived this to where his record is clean (drop charges/acquitted), can he be given another year of eligibility and come back?
