Polygraph test clears 'cancer patient' in wife's scam | The Col...

It is believable because many women are very skilled at deceiving their husbands. Unless experienced previously, it is shocking upon discovery they've been lied to the whole time by the one they trusted most. In fact, the spouse (or parent) might spend a lot of time and energy defending the faithless perp. He would be a fool to ever believe her again about anything as she is a sociopath by the very definition. Best to distance yourself from compulsive liars and borderline nutjobs like that.

On the other hand he did benefit from the proceeds of the crime even if he didn't realize it. And he must have been somewhat dense to not notice anything wrong. The fact alone that the authorities were on it before him says he is clueless and slow on the uptake.

Mr. Chen should refrain from criticizing the prosecutors and staff. If not for them, this scam would still be going on, no thanks to sleepy Mr. Chen, whose self-righteousness is shallow. Put the blame on your wife, dope.

I don't believe this guy. So what he passed a polygraph test. Good liars can do that. It doesn't prove anything. The fact he was the one supposed to have cancer makes it hilarious he didn't know anything. I hope the IRS goes after him and makes him pay taxes on his ill-begotten gains. He is a liar.

He should run for the school board in South West School District he is such a good liar!

It was his estranged father that made the initial complaint. Mr. Chen thought she was earning money working for his fathers real estate firm. It's completely believable. She's guilty and he's not.

Polygraph examinations are completely meaningless. They have absolutely no legitimate scientific basis.

He knew she had lied about all kinds of things in the years they were together--major things--and his family disliked her so intensely that he definitely knew at heart that she was lying again, even if he chose not to check out her story. Willful ignorance is as bad as actual knowledge.

If he was a Delaware County Republican he would be speaker of the Ohio house next term

The way I figure it, if the man can fool a polygraph, he's free to go.

People who think a polygraph "test" is reliable are fools. The reason that a polygrapher's opinions are inadmissible is because this is phony science. It's akin to an empty box with flashing lights. The polygraph does measure certain biological reactions that occur when people feel stress. But stress is not related to telling the truth or telling a lie. Logically it would seem to be so, but scientifically, there is no relationship whatsoever between the things the polygraph detects and whether or not the person is telling the truth or a lie. These phony boxes have been around for a long time. Even the police know they are valueless - but they use them as a tool to force "confessions." "You failed" and people, afraid of facing serious charges accept a plea with minor penalties. Polygraphers think they can look at a person and tell if the person is lying by the movement of their eyes, voice inflections, etc. They use these "tests" to validate their bare suspicions against a person. They think you did it and they opine that the "test" validates their evidence-lacking opinion. It's dangerous stuff. Reporting that someone "passed" a test that is valueless is a dangerous validation that could move acceptance of these phony boxes into the courtroom. Once that happens, the police won't need evidence. They'll just show up and claim that you did something because you "failed the test." It's nonsense.
