SUNDBY,
J. (concurring). I agree that the defendant
received a fair trial and there was no trial court error. As difficult as it is for me to believe that
there was sufficient evidence to convict the defendant beyond a reasonable
doubt, there is no basis under the law upon which to set aside the jury
verdict. See State v.
Poellinger, 153 Wis.2d 493, 501, 451 N.W.2d 752, 755 (1990). However, I urge the supreme court to accept
review of this decision, if a petition is filed with the court, to re-examine
its per se rule which excludes polygraph evidence without a
stipulation. See State v.
Dean, 103 Wis.2d 228, 307 N.W.2d 628 (1981).
The
defendant alleges his counsel was ineffective for failing to move for admission
of a polygraph examination which supported the defendant's claim of
innocence. In view of Dean,
trial counsel cannot be faulted for attempting to introduce evidence which the
supreme court has ruled is inadmissible.
I believe Dean needs to be re-examined.
Since
1981, commentators and some courts have recognized the increased reliability of
polygraph evidence and have even suggested that to exclude such evidence
violates the defendant's Sixth Amendment right to present evidence in his
defense. Two law review articles
exhaustively review the changing approach of the courts to polygraph
evidence. A 1991 Kentucky Law Journal
Note examines the decision of the Eleventh Federal Circuit Court of Appeals in United
States v. Piccinonna, 885 F.2d 1529 (11th Cir. 1989) (en banc). W. Thomas Halbleib, United
