Lie detector test delays start of trial

There will be a slight delay in the trial of a South Side man accused of two murders after the co-defendant in one of those cases agreed Monday to take a lie detector test.

Lamar Reese, 21, of North Worthington Avenue, will take the test administered by the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation Tuesday, and if the results back up his claim that he was not present when Josh Davis, 17, of Willis Avenue, was shot and killed during a marijuana deal on Sept. 16, 2011, then the charges against him may be dropped, assistant Prosecutor Martin Desmond said in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court today.
