lie detecter test volunteers ?
Barry George has offered to take a lie detector test .
The McCanns also offered some while ago.
Were both these offers serious offers?
If so, does anyone know when the tests will be taken by George and the McCanns ?

Lie detector tests are not reliable enough for english courts to rely upon them - that is why the evidence is inadmissible.
So if they "pass" the test they can proclaim "we are innocent", if they fail they can proclaim "test is flawed".
Still a pretty brave thing to do by someone who has nothing to hide - unless they are banking on the fact that no one will take them up on it.
(For the record, I think the McCanns are innocent but stupid and George has been acquitted in a Court of competent jurisdiction).

Thanks Barmaid.
Yes,as you say its a pretty brave thing to do - if you actually do it.
Why havent the McCanns already done it after having offered.
I dont know if the McCanns are innocent or not - but if they and the tapas friends actually put themselves through an independent test and tested innocent I feel it would eliminate almost all remaining doubters and do their PR war a world of good. A full-ltime PR man might no longer be needed and the resources saved could be rechannelled into finding Maddie instead of spinning.

mm, lie detectors may be good for the "shock Horror my wife slept with your grandad and now who's the father typey shows" aka Jeremy kyle , but are flawed, I blush easily , does that mean if there is a smell in the room and someone say who did that and I blush does it mean i did it ?? not always ..... anyway there is no substitute for good policing , forensics and eye witness , coming together to the same conclusion , a return to old fashioned policing , preserving the scene, ensuring the lab does not contaminate anything at all? and gathering all evidence available without interferance from media etc etc etc surreptisiously convicting a person before the facts are known , there are many crimes unsolved in the world , the fact is someone knows/knew what happened to all the crimes unsolved its just a matter of waiting for there guard to drop ...... anyone for a game of cluedo???
Maybe they can return to the original credible theory
