Description
STEWART, Justice: Defendant Rory Abel appeals from a rape conviction pursuant to § 76-5-402, U.C.A. 1953, as amended. The defendant was tried before a court sitting without a jury. On appeal, he argues the court erred in admitting and using the results of a polygraph examination to find guilt. Because the trial Judge clearly indicated on the record that the polygraph evidence made the decisive difference between conviction and acquittal, there can be no question that if the evidence was improperly admitted, it was indeed prejudicial and requires a reversal. We hold that the polygraph evidence was improperly admitted in this case and accordingly reverse the judgment of conviction.
