PICS - 5 Used Instrument Specials This Week

In case anyone was wondering, we did survive the 22 inches of rainfall and flooding that recently pounded Metro Atlanta Georgia. My tomato plants are drunk and falling over from all the water, but other than that, we are doing fine.

We've got 5 Used Instruments for Sale This Week. So I'd like to start with 5 reasons to purchase your used instrument from us rather than on Ebay or some other place:
  1. Some instruments are actually just like new, never being used, so you can get used instrument pricing on what is essentially a brand new instrument
  2. We are providing this service to the profession. We take a small fee to help support our services, but the majority of the sale goes to helping a fellow polygraph examiner
  3. You know us, we've been here for over eleven years. If something goes awry, we are one phone call or email away.
  4. We have gone through each instrument to note any defects, nuances or missing parts so you know what you are getting or not getting.
  5. Prices are negotiable within reason. The goal is for a win-win-win-win between buyer, seller and ourselves and the profession. Instruments are sold only to qualified examiners and institutions. This helps reduce the growing pseudo-examiner frauds that have hit our profession in the past few years.

Polygraph Place Store Expanded - Check it out!

You may have noticed that the blog has been silent for over a week. I'd like to tell you that Nadine and I were sipping Mai Tais in Zihuatanejo for a week, but the truth is we've been feverishly working to implement our new PICS Used Instrumentation program as well as updating and expanding the store to include our newest shipment of T-shirt Designs and a brand new Polygraph Chair.

There are a bazillion finer details I'd love to explain, but its very late and I'll just let the hard work display itself for now. Oh and feel free to purchase something so we can keep serving the profession and/or actually go to Zihuatanejo for Mai Tais. ;) Thanks so much for your continued support through the years.

The New & Improved Polygraph Place Store

Polygraph in the News - 9-1-2009

The following are news pieces in which Polygraph is playing a role in the World.
(Article descriptions are mine)


** Please note that many news sources archive their stories after a certain period of time. If a link no longer works, this may be what happened.


  • A juror in a 1994 murder trial breaks her silence and admits that she has doubts about her vote to convict Anthony Lemons for the Murder of Eric Sims. At the trial, Lemons asked if the sentencing judge would give him a polygraph test. He stated that he knows he is innocent and if he failed the exam, they could give him 'the chair'. He was not granted the test and has been serving his sentence until recently when he was afforded a chance to take the test, which he passed. Lemons is asking for a new trial.

  • Putnam County Florida - Misty Cummings, the now Step Mother to missing child HaLeigh Cummings remains a suspect. She already failed two polygraph tests and recently took a Layered Voice Analysis Test with Private Investigator T.J. Ward. Ward was interviewed regarding the test, but appeared to be more interested in convincing us how his 'LVA 6.50 with 2800 agu-rhythms???' can pretty much read minds and is much better than traditional polygraph. Below the video link, I've included a link to the US Department of Justice Voice Stress Study showing only 15% of the guilty were identified correctly by voice stress technology, a very different result than the 95% accuracy rate claimed by Ward in the video.
