My Thoughts on Lee Anthony’s Deposition
I have watched your requested segments from Lee Anthony’s deposition below, and I, to my own surprise, do not see any indications that Lee is being deceptive. I believe, from the segments that I have seen, that he is telling us what “he believes to be true” in these segments (obviously, I am not speaking on behalf of the entire deposition as I have not watched it in its entirety).
I expected if anyone in the family were going to see the truth it would be Lee, but I don’t think he is there yet.
Lee’s movements, his body language, his words and his behaviors all seem consistent to me. I do not note any hot spots, or red flags. Honesty is always the hardest for me to convey. How do you identify sincerity, or genuineness?
Read moreLee basically tells us until he gets cold hard facts, he is going to believe his sister. I think he is being dead honest when he says that. He believes he knows his sister better than anyone, and he isn’t going to trust strangers and believe the worst without absolute proof. I don’t think one can fault him for that.
Accepting that you’ve been duped, duped huge, and that deception could have cost your niece or granddaughter her life, is not something that a person comes to accept easily.
Patricia Keays asks:
Can people be in denial to such an extent that they truly do believe things that others see as blatant lies?
Absolutely.
I see this most often with family members or people who were close to pathological liars. They have a horrible time accepting they’ve been duped, even when there isn’t a tragedy involved like this one. It’s hard for people to believe they didn’t see things as they really were, but instead they believed the falsities told to them. Those tall tales were their reality for a period of time, and they don’t give them up on them easily.
Now add that those tall tales make your own sister one of the most evil people you’ve seen in decades. Are you going to easily embrace that truth? It’s not likely.
I can’t help but see hints of George Clooney when I look at Lee. Do you see the resemblance?
