The Lloyd Aquifer is the deepest and oldest of Long Island's aquifers. It is a sand and gravel formation ranging in thickness from zero to five hundred feet. At its deepest, it is 1,800 feet below the surface. The water contained in the Lloyd aquifer is about six thousand years old.
But are they actually admissible in court? Courts don't have to admit lie detector tests, according to a U.S. Supreme Court case that specifies how courts deal with scientific evidence. Instead, individual judges have discretion to decide if a polygraph will be admitted based on certain criteria.
Supporters of lie detector tests claim that the test is reliable because: 1  very few people can control all three physiological functions at the same time, and. 2  polygraph examiners run preexamination tests on the suspect that enable the examiners to measure that individual's reaction to telling a lie.
