Is there any case law where the prosecution has been found guilty of misconduct in a polygraph case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Alcantara, E049158, No. FSB702326 (Cal. App. 2010):

Defendant relies on People v. Navarrete (2010) 181 Cal.App.4th 828, 834-837, a case with distinctly different facts and far more egregious misconduct by the prosecution's witness, involving a detective's suggestion to the jury that defendant had confessed. Even the intentional mention of a polygraph in this instance did not denote that defendant had failed a test, confessed, or made any other admissions. The court instructed the jury there was no test and to disregard the improper reference. The court's forceful instruction on the issue sufficed to cure any prejudice. (Id. at p. 834.)
