The outcome of the first polygraph interrogation may well prejudice the 2nd polygrapher's decision making. In your situation, I think it might be especially helpful to review and practice the behavioral (as well as the physical and mental) countermeasures discussed in The Lie Behind the Lie Detector. The 2nd edition includes new information about behaviors that polygraphers tend to consider as indicative of truth-telling or deception.
