The charges 'were stayed when a judge ruled at a preliminary preliminary hearing that evidence from the ■'child was inadmissible. * Mr. Williams told the tribunal that «after the police investigation began, lie jagreed to a polygraph test, which was ^conducted by Sgt. Griepsma in October M1994. i Mr. Williams alleges Sgt. Griepsma ^failed to provide copies of videotapes «made during the polygraph session to Jhis defence lawyer in a timely fashion, -and that the officer altered the videotape •before releasing it. "•He alleges that when two tapes of the session were re-recorded onto a single tape, Sgt, Griepsma edited out two crucial crucial statements: he says the officer told him he'd failed the lie detector test, a statement that's not present on the tape shown at the tribunal yesterday. Mr. Williams also says Sgt. Griepsma cut out a segment in which the officer discusses the kind of sex he and his wife have. More than a minute was cut from the original tape, Mr. Williams alleges. Bill MacKenzie, Sgt. Griepsma's lawyer, lawyer, played the segments in question yesterday. In the first clip, Sgt.

"I'm going to suggest to you officer Griepsma never uttered the phrase 'You, failed', because it would have been a breach of procedure for him to do so," Mr. MacKenzie said. But Mr. Williams was insistent he'd been told he'd failed the test, and that the statement had been cut out of the tape. "He advised me that I failed," he told the tribunal. In the second clip, Mr. Williams is heard arguing with the officer about what sexual positions might be considered considered "normal." "Sorry. I'm a pretty straight-laced guy, OK?" Sgt. Griepsma says on the tape. "You've got one unhappy wife, then," Mr. Williams retorts. Mr. Williams said yesterday he was prompted to make the comment by a statement the officer made about his relationship with his wife. Sgt. Griepsma is heard to make no such statement on the tape played yesterday. In cross-examining Mr. Williams, Mr. MacKenzie also noted that while a defence lawyer contacted the Crown attorney's office about disclosure of evidence evidence against Mr. Williams, no such requests were made directly to Sgt. Griepsma. Griepsma. Mr. Williams said he would introduce evidence that the tapes had been edited. The tribunal continues today.
