STATE OF NEW JERSEY v. EMMANUEL MERVILUS A-5812-07T3
Admission of a polygraph expert's testimony, which was couched in terms of "innocent" and "guilty" test takers, was plain error and warranted reversal of defendant's conviction. If the State intends to rely on polygraph test results at the retrial, it must first establish the reliability of polygraph evidence at a Frye hearing, as required by State v. A.O., 198 N.J. 69 (2009). 02-15-11
