fought in court today to obtain footage of a polygraph test taken by another one of the rock throwers who is expected to testify against him.
"We have seen lots and lots of polygraphs in this case, and there are polygraph protocols that are in place. Those protocols require an extensive pre-test, which goes through all kinds of issues that bear on credibility, which is why we want these materials," Stuart explained. The young men were originally looking at life if convicted. They both accused Koenig of throwing the rock that killed Bartell, as well as being behind other rock-throwing incidents that were allegedly committed months prior to the trio's spree on April 19, 2023.
Kwak's lawyer, Emily Boehme, had filed a motion to quash a subpoena from Koenig's defense team to obtain the polygraph video, prompting the court appearance. She argued that footage in the video should be sealed due to attorney-client privilege and work-product protections.Stuart already has footage from three other polygraph examinations that were done in which Kwak was found to be truthful, along with a summary report on the test in question.
