Deadly Accident or Murder (Dr. Phil)?

/6 Comments/in /by

 

Did you catch Dr. Phil on Monday? He shares the story of a young man and his girlfriend. The two hadn’t seen each other in a few days, and the girlfriend, 21-year old Stephanie says she was upset when he showed up.

During this encounter, Chloe’s boyfriend, Malcolm, 19, ends up falling over the handrail and dies from his injuries. Malcolm’s mom is confident that Chloe pushed him. Chloe denies it.

What do you believe?

UPDATE: I confused Stephanie and Chloe’s name. Chloe is the girlfriend. So this is a new poll:

Old poll where people may have been confused with me.

Hannah Overton on Dr. Phil

/2 Comments/in /by

Hannah Overton, who was accused and convicted of salt-poisoning her foster son, and then released in 2015 spoke out on the Dr. Phil show. I wrote about Hannah back in 2008 saying I believed her and believed that she did not cause Andrew to eat all of that salt.

I think their parenting style left a lot to be desired, frankly, but that doesn’t mean you are guilty of murder.

It’s interesting watching Hannah on Dr. Phil yesterday. What stood out most to me were her children. They did not seem happy at all. Did you notice? It makes me question why. Was it being without their mom all of these years?

It’s been quiet here on the blog the last week and I just wanted to let people know that I came down with pneumonia, and it’s knocked me for a loop.  I hope to be back to work and the blog soon!  -Renee

Touch Your Nose: Are You Lying?

I heard an old myth repeated on TV last night and I want to put it to rest.

If someone tells you that someone touched their nose, therefore whatever they said at that moment is a lie–do not believe them.

Or if they say there is erectile tissue there that gets enlarged because of the arousal of a lie–realize your source of information is poor. Read this about the “erectile tissue” in your nose. It might surprise you!

People touch their nose for a variety of reasons and it in no way signals a liar. I can assure you of that.

Study yourself and your family for the next week. Watch yourself and others when you/they touch their nose.

Did you or they lie when it happens?

You will see quickly that this is a fallacy.

Making A Murderer

/38 Comments/in /by

As many of you have likely heard, there is a docu-series released on Netflix called Making A Murderer. It profiles the story of Steven Avery, of Wisconsin, and the Teresa Halbach murder.

I actually watched this case when it happened, and I had strong feelings at the time about it. I have yet to see Netflix’s version of the story. As a non-Netflix subscriber, I don’t know if I will watch it.

What are your thoughts? Do you think Steven Avery is guilty of killing Teresa Halbach?
