Witnesses fail lie detector tests

Deceptive.Results of lie detector tests two witnesses took during a taping of the "Dr. Phil" show found they are not telling the truth about how Jacob Limberios was killed.Brittany Bowers and Will Lewis both failed the tests administered by former FBI polygraphist and special agent Jack Trimarco, according to information from the second of a two-day segment of the "Dr. Phil" program that aired Friday.Watch as the Limberios family watched the program at the Village Pizza House by clicking HEREThe questions asked for the tests were simple."Did Jake shoot himself in the head? That's what this is all about," Trimarco said, responding to a question from Dr. Phil, after Lewis and Bowers agreed to take the tests. "He either did, or he didn't. It will be a 'Yes' or a 'No.'" Dr. Phil met with Lewis and Bowers separately to reveal to them the results of their individual tests. Bowers called it a trap after Dr. Phil told her the test found she was being deceptive."I just feel as if I came on this show and got set up to do this ... you guys put whatever you want on a piece of paper," she said. "It doesn't work like that. This is my life. I didn't lie."Dr. Phil: "Let me be clear: You're accusing me of fabricating these results?"Bowers: "This is for TV, right?"Dr. Phil: "This is for a boy's life." Bowers: "This is for my life. I'm living, Dr. Phil."Dr. Phil told Bowers what he thought the results and her responses to them meant."You either know something that you're not sharing, or you don't know what your claiming to know," he said. "That's the only two ways to interpret this. If there's something you know that you haven't wanted to say, if there's something you need to change or add ... ."Bowers replied: "Jacob did this to himself. I don't know how. I wish I knew, but I don't."The camera fades away and Bowers appears to be alone on the set. She tilts her head back, looks up, and appears angry as she says, "Jacob why are you (expletive) doing this to me? Why did you do this? Thank you for making my life hell. Thank you."Lewis offered a more muted response upon learning the result of his polygraph test."I don't know what to say," he told Dr. Phil. "I can't believe the results came back as deceptive."He, too, maintained Jake shot himself, after acknowledging scientific evidence that suggests Jacob could not have been holding the gun when it was fired."I know for a fact that he shot himself," Lewis said. "I'm not lying to you. There's nothing I'm not telling."Lie detector tests cannot be 100 percent accurate, and they are not admissible in court proceedings.Meanwhile, a special Sandusky County grand jury took testimony Friday from Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York medical examiner who reviewed autopsy reports, witness statements and other evidence for the Ohio Attorney General's office, which is heading up the grand jury proceedings.Erie County Sheriff Paul Sigsworth and Erie County Chief Deputy Jared Oliver also testified on Friday.It's not clear whether Lewis, Bowers or Evan Neidler, a third person who was inside Bowers' York Township home when Jake was killed, will be called to testify.Bowers is out-of-state, according to a Facebook post that appears to be from her."While your are all talking s**t, I'm here in Florida laughing on the beach" the post states. "Good things happen to good people, guess my karma isn't all that bad."Mike and Shannon Limberios and Kayleigh Bowers, who was Jacob's girlfriend and is the mother of his daughter, Ella, and is Brittany Bowers' sister, are expected to be witnesses for the grand jury next week.Dr. Cyril Wecht, who also appeared on Friday's "Dr. Phil" show, could also be called to testify. Wecht, another forensic pathologist who Dr. Phil called "the best of the best," conducted an autopsy in September 2012 and determined Jacob was the victim of a homicide.Watch a Between the Lines interview with Mike and Shannon Limberios with reaction to the program in the player below
