Even on the off chance that bitch Carole Baskin didn't feed her husband to a tiger, that bitch shouldn't take a polygraph.
Couldn't help but chuckle when Libertarian Josh (Joe's campaign manager) ended the show with a call to save the rainforests and protect exotic animals.
Very funny and they definitely look alike, but there is a reason that the mash-up picture of the two shows only Jeff's nose.
I know the general assumption is that Carole killed her first husband Don. Sure, there are good reasons to believe that. But... 1. He had lots of money. 2. He hid lots of money, which means he was probably evading taxes. 3. He hid lots of money, which means it was probably cash and gold. 4. He had multiple streams of on-the-book income. 5. It was the 80s. 6. He lived in South Florida (if you consider Tampa to be SoFla). 7. He owned multiple planes. 8. He regularly made trips to Central America. 9. He flew without a license. 10. He flew under the radar. Again, there is a good chance that Carole killed him. I won't dismiss that. She's as shady as fuck. But everything listed above is what you'd expect from a drug smuggler in the 80s.
He was killed in the late 90s so I doubt any gangs/cartels waited that long to take him out. Most of the smuggling was also more south along alligator alley.
Eh—depends. Now that they can’t be introduced in court in a lot of states it’s not so much of a no-go zone. Investigators still put a lot of weight on them, and while there are a lot of otherwise innocent ways to fail, it’s harder to pass. Oftentimes the agents might cut your client loose if you can show them a successful poly. In a state that won’t admit them in court, one effective use for the defense would be to bring on a poly consultant in a case where you have a strong feeling that your client is completely innocent, and if they pass w flying colors consider allowing them a second w LEO. If you have any doubts or the client tanks w the consultant, then it doesn’t go any further than that. No idea what FL law was at the time the authorities requested one from her. If I understand it correctly, now FL requires both parties to stipulate to its admissibility. Caveat to that narrow exception would be a lot of younger DAs and investigators won’t give a flying f about a passing poly anyway, so you’d need to balance the weight of persuasion vs the cost of the expert.
In 1957, the Florida Cabinet approved the name "University of South Florida." At the time, USF was the southernmost university in the state university system. HTH
No polygraphs are awful and terribly unreliable. Studies show they have like a 50% accuracy rate so they’re basically worthless
In my experience, polygraphs are strictly an investigative tool. Nothing more and nothing less. They are also only as good as the examiner and the information he already has. At this point a poly would be useless. I’d imagine Carol already knows what info HCSO has and she already has her story engrained into memory. It would’ve been a good tool 20 years ago, but not now. Now it would only be used for publicity and/or external pressure
wes tegg Just go ahead and throw all caution to the wind and get on-board with the "Carole killed her husband" train. It is so much more enjoyable. :InsertTubervilleBagofChipsgif:
