It also now makes sense why my attorney doesn't want to lay out all the evidence on my side just yet as well. They have my cell phone records and my witness (thanks to me talking to the police ), however do not have my landline records or my reciept or the couple of other witnesses I have to show I was the only one that could have made the landline call. He keeps saying that he doesn't want to lay all the cards on the table right away, not until he knows if they have anything more than her saying she saw me.



My attorney recommended that I take the polygraph as a possible way to avoid the expense of a trial. I just never thought that I'd actually fail it. Based on what you all have said here, the mear fact that I was completely honest, probably coupled with the fact that I didn't get to bed until the wee hours of the morning (I had to drive from where I am living now to there after work, which is normally about a 5 hr drive, took me almost 7 hrs that night) and I hadn't eaten anything since lunch the day before probably did me in. Yes, there were some of those control questions in there. A couple were "have I ever stolen anything before" and "have I ever lied to anyone before". He also had me deliberatly lie on all the questions during one part of the session. He asked each question twice. The first time I was to tell the truth, then I was supposed to lie. Didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. What's the point if I know he knows I'm lying because I'm being asked to?



I would love to take them to court to re-coup the money I have spent ($3K so far, and that's just legal fees, it doesn't include all the back and forth and time off work). I'm told those cases are extremely difficult to win though. I would have to PROVE they completely made this up to target me. How do I do that? How do I prove that she didn't see someone in her driveway, or that I never wrote that letter, or that a pillow case wasn't stolen, or that no one boke into their house? Thank you for the videos George. Wow, learned something. I did talk to the police over the phone a couple of times before finally getting an attorney. I basically just told him I wasn't there and gave him my friend's name and number. The last time he called me was to tell me that he was going to pull the records on my cell phone for my whereabouts during the time period. I told him to go ahead. This information was in the police report, which completely supports what I told him, which is why I was completely surprised when I learned I was still going to be arraigned. I was never actually called in for questioning. It was interesting because on the police report it mentions the reason for me not getting called in was because I had retained an attorney.
