Machine Gun Kelly & Pete Davidson Put Their Friendship To The Polygraph Test - HotNewHipHop

Posted: 27 Mar 2019 08:39 PM PDT

The bromance between Machine Gun Kelly and Pete Davidson is real and the pair recently hooked themselves up to a lie detector to prove it. In a Vanity Fair special, they each took turns asking the other questions while one was strapped up to the polygraph machine. Davidson decided that he wanted to question his friend first. "Are you worried that you might incriminate yourself during this interview?" Davidson asks while smiling. "Absolutely," Kelly responds, holding in his laughter. The rapper started things off admitting that while he doesn't watch Saturday Night Live every week, he always makes sure to catch Davidson's segments.

Kelly also was telling the truth when he said that he thinks Davidson is an equally talented standup comedian and actor, and that he's never "fake laughed" at any of his friend's jokes. There were also some gems that included how much weed they smoke, if they've done anything illegal, and if Kelly has ever seen Davidson naked.

When it came to Davidson's turn, Kelly seemed to go easy on his buddy. The SNL star did go into detail about his recent outing with Kid Cudi and Kanye West, saying that he didn't even know that 'Ye was going show up. Davidson also said he's way more smooth when it comes to flirting that Kelly, but as a pair, they know how to pick up chicks. Also, Davidson has no problem admitting that he's a "way better" person now that he's rich.

These two seemed to be honest with each other throughout, however, there were a few lies in the mix. Check out the chuckle-worthy clip to see who wasn't being truthful below.

Lie detector test leads to mistrial in Rosalie murder case - Sioux City Journal

Posted: 26 Mar 2019 03:00 PM PDT

WEST POINT, Neb. -- The trial for a man accused of killing a Rosalie, Nebraska, man and setting his house on fire ended in a mistrial Tuesday because a witness mentioned a lie detector test given to the defendant's father.

District Judge Mark Johnson ruled Tuesday that former Nebraska State Patrol Investigator Galen Svoboda's mention of the polygraph test of Jody Olson likely was inadvertent, but because Olson's testimony is key in the prosecution of his son, Derek Olson, it's important that jurors not be swayed by the fact that a witness took and may have passed a test.

"It is not this court's desire to re-try this case, as I am certain I speak for the attorneys as well, but the motion for mistrial will be sustained," Johnson wrote, granting the defense's request for the mistrial.

A new trial has been tentatively scheduled for May 6.

Derek Olson, 29, of Oakland, Nebraska, has pleaded not guilty in Cuming County District Court to second-degree murder, use of a weapon to commit a felony, second-degree arson and cruelty to an animal for the March 10, 2017, death of Ernest Warnock, 64.

Olson's trial began with jury selection on March 12, and jurors had heard nine days of witness testimony before the mistrial.

Defense attorneys moved for the mistrial at the conclusion of testimony Monday. During questioning earlier in the day, defense attorneys asked Svoboda about the dates he interviewed Jody Olson. Svoboda testified he had not interviewed Olson at the later date they questioned him about, but he mentioned being present during a pre-polygraph examination of Olson.

Jody Olson, 50, of Oakland, pleaded guilty in December to second-degree murder and is scheduled to be sentenced April 4. As part of a plea agreement, he agreed to testify against his son.

Jody Olson testified that Derek Olson repeatedly stabbed Warnock and hit him with a hammer until Warnock collapsed. Jody Olson said he struck Warnock a couple of times, and Warnock stabbed him in the arm during a fight.

Warnock's body was found inside his burned house the following day, and an autopsy determined that he was dead before his home was set on fire. A dog also died in the fire.

Johnson said in his order that it appears Derek Olson's defense is suggesting that Jody Olson stabbed and killed Warnock.

Polygraph test results are not admissible as evidence in Nebraska, but the inadvertent mention of a polygraph is not automatic grounds for a mistrial, the Nebraska Supreme Court has ruled.

But Johnson said that the high court also has ruled that the mention of a witness taking and presumably passing a lie detector test can bolster his or her credibility with jurors and be prejudicial to the defendant. A mistrial would help guarantee Derek Olson's right to a fair trial, Johnson ruled.

Dominic J. Caserta, Former City Council Member, Scores The Highest Possible on Polygraph Test - Associated Press

This content is a press release from our partner ACCESSWIRE. The AP newsroom and editorial departments were not involved in its creation.

SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2019 / On January 21st, 2019, under the provisions of the attorney- client doctrine, Dominic Caserta participated in a polygraph examination regarding allegations of misconduct by a volunteer for Caserta supervisorial campaign, Lydia Jungkind. In an attempt to dispel all duplicitous accusations, Caserta requested a polygraph test and signed a waiver citing his participation as entirely voluntary.

Mr. Caserta was questioned on various incidents pertaining to the allegations after being accused of inappropriate sexual behavior with female students during his time as a teacher and candidate for the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. The examiner has conducted over eleven thousand polygraph examinations and is used by law enforcement throughout California. The examiner categorized the test as a 'Sex Offense Lie Issue type test for question formulation purposes'. The polygraph examiner concluded that Dominic Caserta passed with the highest score, 99.9%. The primary accuser of the 2018 allegations, Lydia Jungkind has not participated in a polygraph. Mr. Caserta continues to maintain his innocence and that the incident was made in effort to derail his front-leading status as a candidate for the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors occurring 29 days before the primary election.

Relevant questions were hand scored by the polygraph governing board. The instrument accurately recorded his breathing, changes in blood pressure, and pulse rate throughout the examination period. The results proved that Dominic Caserta was being truthful in his responses, and, after careful analysis of the test charts, the examiner determined that the participant was in no way deceptive with his answers.

After being wrongfully accused of misconduct, all sexual harassment charges involving Dominic Caserta were officially dropped in August 2018 by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office citing "insufficient evidence."

Having maintained his innocence, the former Vice-Mayor of Santa Clara, California, Dominic Caserta remains a model citizen and is ready to move on from this political hit, focusing on the well-being of his family.

YouTube time traveler takes lie detector test to 'prove' he's from 2045 - The Daily Dot

Posted: 27 Mar 2019 05:56 AM PDT

A man who goes by the name of Adam Archon first appeared on the ApexTV channel on YouTube when he claimed that Martin Luther King's granddaughter would be the last U.S. president. Now, he's taking a lie detector test so that the supposed time traveler from 2045 can try to prove what he claims.

Like most of the ApexTV guests who say they've journeyed from another time and place, Archon had his face pixelated and his voice modified (he actually sounds like Noah, the channel's most frequent guest who has shown off a time machine and presented a U.S. map from the year 2030).

"I need to prove to you this is true, so you can take the information I've given you and make the world a better place," Archon said before the lie detector test began.

The Daily Dot did not independently verify whether his answers were legitimate, but according to ApexTV, he answered truthfully when saying he's from 2045, that he has a chip implanted in his hand to facilitate time travel, that aliens land on Earth in 2028, and that humans begin to converge with robots in 2045. Of course, ApexTV is not a trusted news source—it's a widely popular YouTube channel that's rolled up millions of views with its entertaining tall tales about time travel. They exist as straightforward reports, and aren't satirical in nature, and do routinely attract believers.

READ MORE:

Archon said he would not elaborate on the subject of where future aliens come from because he was worried about a "paradox" but he did confirm dinosaurs were being cloned in the future (another ApexTV guest recently explained why that might not be such a great idea).

Here's the entire video.

But it's clear from the video's comments on YouTube that not many people were buying the legitimacy of Archon's results.

Some said the test wasn't legitimate because not all the queries posed were yes-or-no questions. Some wondered why the results on a laptop or from a heartbeat monitor weren't displayed for the audience. Another person wrote, "If the guy is insane and believes his lies then the lie detector won't detect that he's lying."

The last time we encountered Archon, he was claiming that Yolanda Renee King, the granddaughter of MLK, would be elected president in the year 2030. Since all the countries of the world would begin to converge with each other a few years later—and 10 global leaders would then follow the commands of an artificial intelligence being to rule the world after that point—there apparently would be no need for a U.S. president.

A time traveler who might or might not be Archon previously showed supposed video from 2045 to ApexTV.

This also isn't the first time ApexTV has given a supposed time traveler a lie detector test. Last year, a man named William Taylor who said he visited the year 8973 also submitted to one. Naturally, he passed his test, as well.

As for Archon, he said if you didn't believe him, all you had to do was wait and see if his predictions come true. So, wait we shall.
