A., University of Nevada, Las Vegas, 1974), a Masters degree (M.A., University of British Columbia, 1976), and a Doctorate (Ph.D., University of Utah, 1979).

I also completed the course of instruction at the Los Angeles Institute of Polygraph in 1986.

3 On September 26, 2017 I conducted a polygraph examination of Aurora Perrineau at my office in Los Angeles. The examination was conducted using scientifically validated methods and  procedures which were developed at institutions including the University of Utah and the United States Department of Defense Polygraph Institute. Ms. Perrineau’s physiological responses (cardiovascular, vasomotor, respiratory and electrodermal) were monitored and recorded by a Lafayette LX4000 computerized polygraph. The testing methodology employed was a Utah Zone of Comparison Test (UZCT). I have personally conducted and published scientific research utilizing the UZCT. My accuracy rate in that research was 95.5%. I was retained to conduct this test by the law firm of Allred, Maroko & Goldberg. Ms. Perrineau has claimed that she was sexually assaulted by a man named Murray Miller when she was 17 years old. In order to verify that her accusation was true, she volunteered to take a polygraph test about the issue. The polygraph examination session commenced at 3:00 PM. The session began with a lengthy and detailed pre-test interview, during which Ms. Perrineau informed me that she was in reasonably good health, that she was not under the influence of any illegal drugs or alcohol, and that she had sufficient sleep the night before. We then discussed the issues, and I made certain that terminology and understanding between us was consistent. Ms. Perrineau's account of the incident is contained in the following statement. Before  beginning the testing procedure, Ms. Perrineau read her statement aloud, and signed and dated it in my presence. The polygraph test was conducted to determine whether Ms. Perrineau's statement was completely true, or whether it contained one or more lies or half-truths. Her statement follows:
 My name is Aurora Perrineau. Before I was 18 
 
 years old, I went to the Standard Hotel on Sunset  Boulevard with two other people, Juliet and Jeremy. At the Standard Hotel, I met Murray  Miller. He was flirting with me. I told him repeatedly that I was 17 years old.
