Michele Williams on 48 Hours

May 5, 2014/2 Comments/in 48 Hours, Emotions, murder/by Eyes for Lies

Did you catch 48 Hours this weekend and the story of Michele and Greg Williams?

If so, it was a fascinating story.

You get to see Michele Williams display a lot of fake emotions and crocodile tears without question!

I do not believe one word out Michele’s mouth. I feel for her children. To grow up with a mom who was dishonest as she was must be horribly hard. My heart goes out to them.

Let’s hope a jury doesn’t fall for Michele’s attempts to fool them.

Oscar Pistorius’ Apology: Did he hire an acting coach?

April 22, 2014/15 Comments/in Emotions, murder/by Eyes for Lies

Have you heard that a well known South African journalist has come out and said that Oscar Pistorius hired an acting coach?

I haven’t seen the South African journalist talk of the alleged allegations to see if I believe her (she would have to talk in English for me to do an analysis), but I can tell you that to me Oscar Pistorius’ apology falls flat on its face.  Furthermore, his crying sounds like acting to me, so if he had a coach, they failed him.

Oscar said in his apology, “I would like to take this opportunity to apologize — to Mr. and Mrs. Steenkamp, to Reeva’s family — to those who are here today who knew her.”

He continued, “I’d like to apologise and say that there’s not a moment and there hasn’t been a moment since this tragedy happened that I haven’t thought about your family. I wake up every morning and you’re the first people I think of, the first people I pray for. I can’t imagine the pain and the sorrow and the emptiness that I’ve caused you and your family.”

“I was simply trying to protect Reeva. I can promise that when she went to bed that night she felt loved. I’ve tried to put my words on paper many, many times to write to you but no words will ever suffice” said Oscar.

I have to ask you what is Oscar apologizing for?  If you notice he doesn’t say.  He doesn’t claim what he has done on any level by owning that he accidentally took Reeva’s life nor does he talk of any regret!  Oh no.  In his apology he says he was SIMPLY just trying to protect Reeva.

Unbelievable!

I am also taken by his word choice when he says, “I can’t imagine the pain and sorrow and the emptiness.”

This stopped me dead in my tracks.

If you killed someone that you supposedly loved, would you not understand the pain, sorrow and emptiness left by her void?

Hello? Does that give you a clue to the callous mind of Oscar Pistorius?

Chilling, isn’t it?

If you cared and loved her as he claimed–you most certainly would UNDERSTAND!

Can you see how he misses the mark with his words?

His cry on an emotional level is void, too. He isn’t shedding any tears that are noteworthy if you ask me because if he did, he would have congested his sinuses, but he clearly didn’t.

Oscar Pistorius is a cold-blooded killer if you ask me.  A remorseless man who is only feeling horrible at the thought of losing his freedom!

Megan Huntsman: Admitted Killing Her Six Babies

April 14, 2014/7 Comments/in Emotions, homcide/by Eyes for Lies

Megan Huntsman made the news yesterday after her estranged husband, Darren West, was at the house where her two young adult children and teenager lived.  He was cleaning out the garage when he found a dead infant’s body in a box. He called the police. Upon investigation, police found six more more bodies for a total of seven deceased babies.

The story is absolutely mortifying. And when you read the news, its quite surprising to hear the neighbors speak well of Huntsman.  She even babysat for the neighbor’s grandchildren! Chilling in hindsight.

For a woman to do this, you would think that she suffered some mental illness that other people might have picked up on.

Many of you are wondering what expression she is making in the photo above, which I suspect was taken when she was taken into custody.

First, I notice the stress in the forehead, which is indicated by the wrinkles.

Second, I notice her oblique eyebrows, which can indicate either stress, concern, or sadness.  Or all of the above.

And last I notice her eyes which are unusually wide open, and display a fear look to me. They could also indicate surprise.

To me, her expression is indicative of a woman who is totally stressed out and concerned for her well-being, and has the potential to be suffering from a mental illness. Her expression is very unique to say the least and often odd expressions come from mental illness because the brain fires confusing signals that you and I don’t get.

A Study of Honesty: Stacey Barfield

March 27, 2014/16 Comments/in Emotions, murder/by Eyes for Lies

Watch Stacey talk to the media. What do you see?

You see a mom whose emotions are odd when she talks about her little girl being murdered. People have written to me multiple times wondering how a mother could be so light-hearted as she is in this video.  Stacey, the mom, even laughs at one point. I think this is an excellent video for the study of honesty.

We might flag Stacey on these behaviors, if we didn’t know the truth. And to flag her is okay, but one must not rush to judgement.  I always say we must have three solid red flags or even more before we judge anyone, and here we only have two.

If we didn’t know the outcome as we do here, what could explain this behavior?

If we plug in shock and disbelief–that the truth hasn’t sunk in–it makes sense–that the mother hasn’t processed the situation at all.  She may also be having trouble grasping the situation for a variety of reasons.

Police say her little girl, Hailey, was found shot to death in the perpetrator’s home.
