Simpson Denies Lie Detector Report
O.J. Simpson said he never took a polygraph test about his ex-wife’s murder but is willing to take one now although “no lie detector test is going to change anyone’s mind.”
Responding Monday to statements made by attorney F. Lee Bailey during a Florida court hearing, Simpson said Bailey has been trying to arrange for a lie detector test, perhaps in a pay-per-view TV format.
Simpson said the current flap appears to be part of a feud between Bailey and attorney Robert Shapiro, both part of the defense team in the 1995 criminal trial that acquitted him in the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Clarifying his earlier remarks, Bailey said Monday, “I stopped the test for the simple reason that you never, never test anyone for killing a spouse or a child within two or three days of the event.”
