Local man in Nebraska seeks lie detector test during pardon hearing
Griffith presses for lie detector testing as part of his pardon review. He argues the test should be voluntary and applied to all who testified against him, while authorities note the proposal is unorthodox and the board adjourns to await a Lincoln attorney. The case centers on a 1952 murder in Sidney and Griffith's ongoing appeals while a possible execution date nears.
