The Big Lie About Lie Detectors

“Lying is the American Way of Life.” – F. Lee Bailey

Who would know better about that than an expert practitioner in the brotherhood (and increasingly sisterhood) of lying?

Truth be told, Bailey was a rather poor liar – so bad that he had to use technicalities on appeal to spring defendants falsely [or truly] convicted.  Not many jurors were likely to be convinced by Old Foghorn.  You have to give him credit for trying.  Even worse is famed defense lawyer Alan Dershowitz.  His decree that O.J. Simpson must surely have been innocent because most wife beaters don’t kill their wives is a landmark in atrocious logic.
