Roy Kronk on the Stand: Honest or lying?

 Click on the photo above to see the video I reviewed

Roy Kronk took the stand today, and I absolutely believe he is telling the truth.  He is a stickler for details, ironically, and he rightfully corrects the defense attorney who questions him about calling 911.  He insists he did not call 911 and the defense attorney finally concedes he called the non-emergency number after checking with the prosecution.

I am not an expert in identifying disorders, but I have to wonder if Roy Kronk could have a mild form of Asperger’s syndrome.  He seems social awkward, like social interactions may be more challenging for him. He also seems emotionally dull.  When I watch him on the stand, his eyebrows are displaying stress to me.  I get the sense he doesn’t quite understand what the defense doesn’t get.  In his mind, he is stating the facts, so what is there to question?  People with this condition may also get interested in something, and get very absorbed into it– which is what I suspect happened with Kronk and his desire to find Caylee’s body.  He was probably more attuned to nuances than the average person and that is why his persistence and curiosity paid off. People with this condition are often more intelligent than average, too, and when you watch Kronk recall his details, he is steadfast with them.

You may notice Roy Kronk licking his lips.  To me, this is simply a sign of nervousness.  If you notice, when he does it, the questioning attorney has raised his voice, and I suspect Kronk is unconsciously stressing from that…feeling pressure.

I believe Roy Kronk is honest in the video above.

I will review George Anthony tomorrow.
