and the possible incarceration
of another.

:20:04
Proceed, Mr. Biegler.
:20:06
Did you give Mrs. Manion
a lie detector test?

:20:08
Objection. A polygraph test is
inadmissible evidence in our courts.

:20:11
I only asked if he gave the test.
I didn't ask the results.

:20:15
He may answer that.
:20:16
I gave her a lie detector test
at her request.

:20:19
Now after all this investigation,
did you believe Mrs. Manion?

:20:23
- I did.
- Even after the lie detector test?

:20:25
That question constitutes flagrant
subterfuge on part of the defense.

:20:31
Objection sustained.
:20:33
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
a polygraph or lie detector test...

:20:37
is not admissible in evidence...
:20:39
because no one
has ever been quite sure...

:20:41
that some people couldn't lie
to a lie detector and get away with it.

:20:45
Go ahead.
:20:46
In any case, you yourself
in your own heart and mind...

:20:50
are quite convinced
of Mrs. Manion's honesty?

:20:53
- Yes, sir.
- That's all.

:20:57
Just a moment.
:21:02
Did you look for the panties elsewhere
other than the lane in the woods?

:21:06
We looked in Barney Quill's car,
his room in the hotel.

:21:10
We didn't find them.
:21:11
Do you know why Mrs. Manion
requested a lie detector test?

:21:15
- I know what she said.
- What?

:21:17
She wanted everyone to believe her story
because she knew it'd help her husband.

:21:20
Was that the only reason she gave?
:21:22
Said she swore to her husband. Said she
wanted everyone else to believe it too.

:21:26
One moment, please.
:21:32
Ask him in what manner she swore.
:21:34
Did Mrs. Manion say how
she had sworn to her husband?

:21:38
Yes, sir. She said
she had sworn on a rosary.

:21:41
This lane in the woods,
what's it used for, where does it go?

:21:46
It used to be a logging road.
It doesn't go anyplace,just stops.

:21:49
Who uses it now?
:21:51
I think it's a road
kids drive down to park.

:21:53
- You mean it's a lovers' lane?
- I think so.

:21:56
- The witness is yours.
- No more questions.

:21:59
- The witness may step down.
- In view of evidence concerning rape...
