Geter refuses lie detector,
confident of being cleared
United Press International
DENMARK, S.C. — Black en
gineer Lenell Geter said Tues
day he refused a lie-detector test
that could have cleared him of
armed robbery charges because
the examiner isn’t qualified.
“I’ve taken three polygraph
tests and passed those and I
think the whole thing is un
necessary,” Geter told UPI in a
telephone interview.
“I think they’ll drop the
charges,” he said. “I have faith.
I’m looking at it from a spiritual
point of view.”
Geter had until Monday to
take a lie-detector test in Texas
or face a second trial for the
1982 holdup of a Kentucky
Fried Ghicken stand in a Dallas
suburb.
Dallas police officer who owns a
polygraph business.
Geter, 26, was sentenced to
life in prison for the stickup but
the conviction was overturned in
December.
“I have always said I’m going
at the advice of my attorneys and
I agree with them, we’re not
going with Parker because he’s a
part-time examiner,” Geter said.
“He doesn’t have the proper
credentials to issue the test.”
• When he was released on an
appeal bond, Dallas County Dis
trict Attorney Jienry Wade said
he would drop the charges if Ge
ter passed a polygraph test
administered by Bill Parker, a
The engineer said he would
prefer an examiner with “at least
something to say that he’s not
necessarily doing this on the side
as a tree-shade mechanic might
do.”
“In effect this is my life and I
want the best examiner possible
to examine me.”
Geter has maintained
throughout his ordeal that slop
py police work and racism land
ed him behind bars.
“From the very inception, my
incarceration was a fallacy in
that I was arrested simply be
cause I’m black,” he-said. “Be
cause I was black I was arrested.
“There seems too exist no
corrective remedies to prevent
this kind of activity from hap
pening to anybody. I’m saying to
the parents, wives and hus
bands, this can happen to them.
I’m tired of it.”
