On today episode of Felony Friday polygraph expert Doug Williams joins John to share why he believe the polygraph to be a complete fraud of a technology.

The feds didn't like this so they came after him and he was incarcerated in Federal prison for 2 years for "protesting the loudest and the longest against the polygraph." Williams was finally released from prison on July 26th 2017. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
