Lie detectors, Polygraphs are used by employers and police to try to determine the truthfulness of employees, witnesses and the accused.

We will delve into these uestions and more today on Jaws of Justice Radio.

Our guest David Graham tells you what you need to know if you are asked to take a Polygraph test.
