The department was desperate for recruits. Masses of officers had retired just as the city's population boomed, and the usual recruiting pool was away fighting two wars. Everywhere you looked - on billboards, in the paper, on the Web- HPD had posted help-wanted signs. "Be a Hero!" the message went. "You, too, can become a real hero." "Heroes Start Here!" It's hard to explain the effect these ads had on me, but the truth is, I'd always wanted to be a hero. With the cops offering "a competitive salary," "excellent, affordable health insurance," and a "pension plan with early retirement options," I couldn't help imagining myself as an action hero. I became obsessed with the idea, wildly optimistic. It didn't matter that I was 44 years old and had never held a handgun. Here I was, reasonabl...

East Haven High School Athletic Director Fred Balsamo passed a polygraph examination that shows he did not sexually harass or have sexual contact with a female high school employee who has accused him of both actions, a lawyer representing Balsamo said Monday. "The polygraph found that there was no sexual harassment or no sexual contact between the complainant and Fred," said attorney Kevin Dineen, who represents Balsamo for any civil matter that may stem from the woman's charges. The employee, through her attorney, Patricia A. Cofrancesco, has served notice that she intends to sue Balsamo, the Board of Education and several other school officials, charging that Balsamo sexually harassed her "on a consistent basis" on six occasions and that he sexually assaulted her Oct. 22, 2005.
The trial court did not err in overruling the defendants motion to suppress self-incriminating statements made to a polygraph examiner in the post-polygraph interview. Based on the totality of the circumstances, the statements of the polygraph examiner that he would personally recommend leniency in the form of probation and counseling did not constitute coercive police conduct to render the defendants confession involuntary. Accordingly, because we found that the defendant voluntarily made his confession to the polygraph examiner, we do not conclude that the second confession made to the Detective in an interview immediately following the post-polygraph interview should be excluded simply because it occurred in close proximity and time to the first interview.
CHICAGO, Oct. 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- With just two weeks before John Spirko is set to be executed, the statements of a key witness pointing to another man as the murderer of Betty Jane Mottinger were corroborated by a polygraph examination pursued by The Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Center sought the testing by a former veteran FBI examiner as Gov. Bob Taft weighs whether to execute Spirko despite persistent questions about alternative suspects and serious doubts about the integrity of the initial investigation. John Willier first gave an Ohio law enforcement officer detailed information about the crime in 1997 and offered to be polygraphed. Remarkably, officials handling the case ignored his offer. "Since authorities refused to pursue i...
