I would think it’s fairly uncommon that a polygraph test is arranged by the same individual the test will be conducted on. I suppose for the right amount of money, a company would be willing to “present the evidence to the public”, but probably not something that is typically done.

Generally, the party that needs the results is not the public. It’s typically the police, an employer, a spouse, an attorney, ect.
You are correct. I think this is very good analysis and it makes sense.

However, for this instance, where she took the test to show to all that she didn't cheat, you would think that either her lawyer husband and/or her publicist would probably recommend that she at least give the impression that the polygraph test was administered by a neutral third party, even if she paid for it. In other words, allow the testing company to release the results directly to the public.

So bottom line, Robbi went from first agreeing to take Eric Peerson's arranged test (including the eyeball test with 98% accuracy), to setting up her own test in Vegas, paid by her, with the results released by the company directly to her (marked CONFIDENTIAL lol) to do as she pleases with it.

That sure sounds convincing and reliable! (maybe to her close friends and family and twitter supporters).
