The opinion

Gkeen, J.

(concurring in the result only) — As to the polygraph issue, I concur in the result only. The product of a polygraph test is inadmissible unless stipulated to by both the defense and the prosecution. State v. Ross, 7 Wn. App. 62, 69 , 497 P.2d 1343 , 53 A.L.R.3d 997 , review denied, 81 Wn.2d 1003 (1972). Here, the parties did not stipulate to the polygraphs; hence, they were inadmissible.

Reconsideration denied September 7, 1978.

Review denied by Supreme Court January 19, 1979.
