The Lying Polygraph

The results of your lie detector tests are that the polygraph lied. Imagine that. A glitch in a widely used polygraph, may have labeled the truthful liars and the guilty innocent.

The manufacturer, Lafayette Instrument Co. Inc., downplays the problem, although it can't say how often it happens. The glitch came from the computerized measurements of sweat on a suspect. Makes you just want to trust the judicial system and wonder how many innocent people are serving time over some glitch!
