Stunning Interview by Amanda Knox with Chris Cuomo

May 2, 2014/19 Comments/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Amanda Knox spoke out yesterday to Chris Cuomo on CNN. She denies her involvement in the murder of Meredith Kercher and her words, like many times before, stun me.

Listen to Amanda Knox’s speech pattern.

She says, “(huh)  I…believe…I mean, I can’t speculate what this judge’s motivations…personal motivations or otherwise…What I can say is that…as…this…case…has progressed…….the evidence…that the prosecution has claimed exist against me….has been…has been proven less and less and less.”

Amanda clearly connects the thoughts of “evidence” with “proven”.  The fact she connects these words blows my mind.  Most people who are innocent wouldn’t think they have “proven less” anything because there is nothing to prove. Period.

After all this time, I am also stunned at how she can’t make a clear cut rejection of her involvement immediately.  Instead she we see incomplete thoughts and hesitations. She tells us the claim has been less and less. To me this is not rejecting her involvement. She is merely saying that they have less and less against her, which supports guilt.

If you were honest and uninvolved, would you even entertain this thought?

I have put dots in place where Amanda hesitates in her words above. What you are seeing is incredible cognition, and the fact that Amanda Knox has to think so much when telling the truth is shocking. If she was not involved and an innocent victim, she wouldn’t have to think to talk about how she is being wrongly accused. It would come out of her strongly and flow without any hesitation and thinking, but we don’t see that. Instead we see incredible control and manipulation, and she still fails.

Next Amanda says, “I did not kill my friend. I did not wield a knife. I had no reason to.”

She finally got out her denial, but it was more important to insult the judge on his personal motivations first. Stunning.

I am surprised she would even entertain talking about wielding a knife. Honest people who were not there or involved would never even consider talking about holding or wielding a knife because its so far from the truth and too painful to even entertain because its flat out WRONG.

She continues, “I….I was…in the month we were living together, we were becoming friends.”

Was Amanda trying to become friends with Meredith? Because at first she says “I was…” and then she says “they were”. Can you see the manipulation added on to the cognition going on?  Wow.

Amanda goes on, “A week before the murder occurred, we went out to a classical music concert together. Like…we had never fought. There is no trace of us.”

Amanda’s thoughts are really disjointed.  She wants to suggest they didn’t ever fight. She doesn’t deny it, she throws it out as an example “Like we had never fought.”  If you notice, she doesn’t say “We didn’t fight!”

Then Amanda’s next thought switches entirely from her being friends with Meredith to “There is no trace of ‘us'” — I suspect she means herself and Raffaele.  Why are her thoughts so disjointed? It’s as if Raffaele comes to mind when she thinks about her and Meredith and fighting.  Interesting.

Amanda continues, “If Rudy Guede…committed this crime…which he did…we know that because his DNA is there…on the…on Meredith body, around Meredith’s body.”

Wow.  Amanda doesn’t own that Rudy Guede actually did this at first.  Then she corrects!!  If she was innocent, I would expect she would believe Rudy Guede was the murderer for sure without any doubts!!  This is a stunner.  Why would she question it with the word “IF” unless she knows something different?  I think all people accept Ruede Guede’s involvement, and Amanda shows clearly she doesn’t believe it as fact.  Wow. The implications here are HUGE and shocking to me.

She continues about Guede, “His hand prints and foot prints in her blood. None of that exists for me and if I were there, I would have had traces of…Meredith’s broken body on me…and I would have left traces of myself….around…around Meredith’s corpse….and I…I am not there…and that proves my innocence.”

This sentence above that Amanda says is fascinating on multiple levels because she shows emotions for the first time and it seems to revolve around Meredith’s “broken body” (aka blood?) being on her. It’s odd she can’t say the word “blood” and that this evokes emotion, too.  It seems to really hit a personal cord with her.  If you were not there, there would be no emotional connection at this point in the speech for you on this element because there would be no emotional memories, but Amanda has some. I’m blown away. I believe she likely did have blood on her now.

Amanda also says in present tense, “I am not there”.  She doesn’t say I WAS NOT there, which is a normal recollection. Instead, we seeing her say what she wants us to believe–not what is the truth.

By Amanda Knox’s response to the question “Were you with Rudy Guede at the apartment that night?”, I do not believe Amanda here. I DO believe she was with Guede. There is a look of fear in Amanda’s face at this point that is palpable.

Listen to Amanda Knox’s loss of confidence when she answers the question of was there a fight over money witnessed that night with Rudy Guede? Amanda says “no” very deflated and without any confidence whatsoever.  This is stunning.

At the end, Amanda says, “I truly believe it is possible to win this and to bring…to bring an end to all of the speculation and the nonsensical theories and really bring peace to everyone who has suffered from this experience.”

Wow.

If you were put in prison for several years, accused of a crime and treated with suspicion as Amanda has for years, would you truly believe you can win?  I don’t think so. You would have lost too much already.  If you were involved in the murder, however, you might very well think you have won, if you got away with it, wouldn’t you?

This is Amanda’s most revealing interview to date, and it makes sense. The stakes are very high right now for her.

I am also stunned at how Amanda thinks that this case can go to a place for the Kercher family where they will have “peace” (” really bring peace to everyone”). I think anyone of a reasonable mind can see the Kercher’s will never get peace unless someone tells us what truly happened.  The only one Amanda is thinking about is herself here. A true victim would know it is unlikely anyone will get the full truth because the investigation is so botched, but not Amanda!

I did not believe Amanda Knox from day one. I have always believed she was there that night and covered her ears at some point (by her own words), but that she twisted facts and lied to cover and protect herself on some level (what level I didn’t know). But the more I see of Amanda Knox, and especially after this interview, I believe she was there, was involved and had blood on her.  Physically. That is all I can say, but that say a whole lot.

I’m stunned by what this interview reveals.  It will take some time to shake this. I didn’t expect this at all.

Kate and Gerry McCann 7 Years Later

May 1, 2014/1 Comment/in unsolved crime/by Eyes for Lies

It’s hard to believe this Saturday it will be seven years since little Madeleine McCann disappeared.

This is an emotional case for many people and emotional cases will always split the divide on what people believe truly happened.

I have always believed the McCanns from day one and have watched nearly ever video available online of them speaking over the past seven years that I have found, and I have not seen any hotspots in the McCanns.

When you see the McCanns in this video above, you can see the stress in their faces seven years on.  They haven’t given up and still want to recover their daughter.

Dangerous Beauty: Peggy Sue Thomas

April 28, 2014/in 48 Hours, murder/by Eyes for Lies

48 Hours featured the story Russel Douglas, 32, who was murdered in Washington state in December of 2003 in an episode called “Dangerous Beauty”. Through many twists and turns, you get introduced to Peggy Sue Thomas, a friend of Brenna Douglas, the wife of murder victim, Russel Douglas.

Peggy Sue Thomas, who became a beauty pageant winner, was married multiple times, and admitted to dating a married man as well, Jim Huden–a man she grew up with in Washington.

Jim Huden, ironically, was identified by a man in Florida who said Jim confessed to murdering Russel to him.

The story takes many twists and turns, but ultimately, I do not believe Peggy Sue Thomas on any level. I suspect she knows a lot more than she is telling us.

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!
