Timothy Busfield's polygraph results in his child sexual abuse case might not be the smoking gun he hopes for. "My biggest thing is, we don't know what the questions were asked," Lisa Mooney, a licensed polygraph examiner, exclusively tells Us Weekly in response to Busfield's attorney Larry Stein claiming that the Hollywood director passed a voluntary independent polygraph test in connection with his alleged crimes. Mooney, who is also the Seminar Program Chair for the National Polygraph Association and a Board Member of the California Association of Polygraph Examiners, said that until more is known about the examiner and the line of questions, it cannot be confirmed that Busfield's test was up to standard. "New Mexico is the only state where it [the polygraph results] could be entered into evidence, and you don't need the other side's permission," she explained, while later reiterating that the examiner could have asked Busfield any random question to get a positive result. Albuquerque Police Department via Getty Images Richard Salinas, a polygraph expert and consultant, agrees. "For the defense attorney to say, 'Yeah, he passed a polygraph test.' You don't know the questions," he told Us. He believes Stein may have had an ulterior motive when he released his statement about Busfield's lie detector results. "If there's a jury down the line, and they heard, 'Hey, this guy passed a polygraph test, but the court doesn't allow the evidence,' they're going to be tainted. And this is why I think they did that," Salinas said. "It carries a long way." Inside the Jail Where Timothy Busfield is Being Held on Child Abuse Charges He further explained, "You don't know what questions were asked in the polygraph test. You could have said, 'I was in Boy Scouts, and I was in the military,' and he passed all the questions, but nobody knows the actual questions. It's basically tainting the future jury box." Mooney shared the same concern. "It's already out there in the public that he took a polygraph test. So there's gonna be some sort of juror bias because they've already seen he's innocent [based on the claims about Busfield's polygraph results]," she told Us. When speaking with Dave Ring, a partner at Taylor & Ring in Los Angeles, he shared the same opinion. "Lie detector results are generally not admissible in criminal cases because they can be unreliable and they can be manipulated. However, Busfield is using this 'independent' polygraph exam to influence the court of public opinion as to his alleged innocence," Ring told Us. "If the results show any signs of untruthfulness, it may be used as leverage to secure a plea (even though it could not be used in criminal court; defendants are always afraid of how the court of public opinion would feel if that information is discovered). But it's a big gamble - and rarely used because of the uncertainty. Overall, I would say that polygraphs are reliable," Sam Dordulian, former LA County Dept. District Attorney and sex crimes prosecutor, added. Mooney said she's "100 percent" convinced Stein will use the lie detector results in trial. "If he has a polygraph test that shows no negative findings, the attorney's gonna use this as evidence," she said. Timothy Busfield's Child Sexual Abuse Case Hinges on 1 Major Factor When it comes to lie detector results, Mooney shared that when done correctly, the accuracy of polygraphs is "near or slightly above 90 percent." "Unless someone is trained typically in federal government status on how to beat the polygraph, it isn't possible to do," she explained. Salinas echoed the same notion, adding, "I give it a one percent margin of error. So I say overall, it's 98 percent accurate based on my experience and training." What is possible, as both experts point out, is beating the examiner. "If an examiner's testifying, the jury has to like him, so they like the results," Salinas advised. "Even if the examiner did the right thing, but his attitude is awful, they're gonna lose." Busfield is currently locked up at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) after surrendering to New Mexico authorities on Tuesday, January 13. The director, who is married to Little House on the Prairie actress Melissa Gilbert, faces two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse stemming from accusations that he engaged in unlawful sexual conduct with two twin child actors on the set of The Cleaning Lady. "Tim Busfield denies the allegations in the criminal complaint and maintains they are completely false," Stein told Us in a statement. "As a voluntary step, he submitted to an independent polygraph examination regarding those allegations and passed." He did not enter a plea during his first court appearance on Wednesday, January 14. Since Busfield's arrest, additional allegations that he sexually abused a female "several years ago" when she was 16 came to light. The director has also denied those accusations. If you or someo
