The polygraph is sometimes useful to develop leads. Verify statements and crosscheck information. Moreover, it provides the police with a psychological advantage that may lead to a confession. Such confessions are admissible in court even though the test results are not. The proper tests are then determined, and the questions prepare and reviewed with the subject. After the test is completed, the subject and the police advised of the results in person or by letter. If the test indicates deception, an individual interrogation may follow. Any confessions that follow from such tests are almost universally accepted by the courts. The examiner's testimony is not conclusive evidence but rather opinion evidence regarding either guilt or innocence.
