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

/15 Comments/in , /by

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!

Quinn Gray’s Abduction on Dateline

Dateline NBC this last weekend profiled the story of Quinn Gray. It was one of the more interesting episodes on Dateline, and was a re-run. For those of you who first saw it, you can read my analysis of the story here from September 2011.

Enjoy!

48 Hours: Rodney Denk

/in , /by

Did you catch the story of Amy Weidner this past weekend on 48 Hours titled “Decades of Deceit“?

During the episode, I saw an interview of Rodney Denk, the man convicted of killing Amy Weidner. 48 Hours also uploaded a web extra of Denk (above).

When I saw Denk on the show he suggested there were accomplices.  It caught my eye because detectives said Denk changing his story that he did have them, then he didn’t or couldn’t remember.

My question is why would you, after you confess, indicate another person was involved, if they weren’t?  What gain would there be for Denk to do that?  I can’t think of any reason, which leads me to believe it is possibly true.

Furthermore, by the fact he couldn’t remember the name of the guy, could he be afraid to implicate someone else out of fear?  It’s possible, but from the short interview shown on 48 Hours, I cannot say conclusively.

So I set out to see the web extra on 48 Hours website of Denk.

When I watch that clip, one thing is for sure. Denk isn’t willing to tell us the truth other than to admit that he was there.  He also doesn’t show us any sadness, regret or any negative emotions considering he carried around the knowledge of what he did for years. This concerns me and gets me thinking about psychopathy and pathological lying.

Considering we can’t rule out psychopathy or that he is a pathological liar, its hard to say if there was or was not another person involved without having access to more interviews of Denk. He could be simply pathological, which means he will say whatever hits his fancy at the moment.

48 Hours Mystery: Johnny Wall

/11 Comments/in /by

Did you catch the story of Ute Von Schwedler and the story of her suicide this past weekend on 48 Hours Mystery?  Her husband now stands accused of her murder, and is waiting to stand trial later this year.

Her son speaks out against his father, Johnny Wall, saying he believes his dad killed his mom.  Johnny’s family, however, doesn’t believe it is possible.

You don’t actually get to see Johnny speak in the episode, so you are left only listening to both sides of the family react.

Pelle, the son of Ute and Johnny and who were divorced, says something astounding to me, however.  Pelle recollects his dad’s behavior and word choices after his mom’s death.   He talks about his dad acted very infantile, and depended on his son for comfort instead of the other way around, and what Pelle said was startling.

Pella says his dad said as he cried over Ute’s death, “Am I a monster? Could I have done this?”

Freeze frame!

What????

That says all we need to know.  Hands down. Who would entertain this if they are innocent and uninvolved? Would you ever call yourself a monster if you had nothing to with the situation?

I can answer for you:  NO!

Would you question if you did it?

I can answer again for you:  NO!

According to 48 Hours, “Johnny Wall spent six days after Uta’s death at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute, under observation.”

None of this supports Johnny Wall’s innocence.

I will be curious to see how a jury sees this case.

Pelle, in his recollection, has clearly identified the truth in this case and its not suicide. It’s murder if you ask me, and the monster identified himself.

I’d like to add that I think Pelle is an amazing and very intelligent man. To be so rational and clear thinking through such trauma is astounding.

Megan Huntsman: Admitted Killing Her Six Babies

/7 Comments/in , /by

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.
