American Justice: Is it fair?

There is a very interesting video segment on MSNBC today about the Horowitz murder. It’s a long segment, so to get to the point, move 3 minutes and 40 seconds into it and then play it.

A criminal prosecutor, Jonna Spilbor, takes on the role of the defending the accused young man in this case — and in attempting to “protect him” because we don’t know for sure if he or someone else killed Pamela Vitale — she does the only logical thing in our legal system: she attacks Horowitz.

How else can you legally defend someone in this situation?

Seriously?

She makes a great case to show the public how the legal system works. She makes you question Horowitz — even though she says herself she doesn’t think Horowitz did this. She is left with little else as she clearly states — baring that no DNA is found.

Imagine being appointed by the state to defend this guy. Imagine being his attorney — especially if you believe he is guilty (not that I am saying he is).

She gives you the chills at what she would have to do. She is clear, she makes you ask great questions, she makes you want to naturally question Horowitz. She gives you instant doubt!

It’s amazing how we can bend the truth — even what we believe — if we need to. This defense attorney is GOOD!

Doesn’t this seem to go against the attorneys sworn oath — that they will defend the truth at all costs? That is what the oath was meant to do — but when you look at the oath, you clearly see the loopholes — don’t you?

Ms. Jonna Spilbor sure points that out clearly. Doesn’t she?

What a flawed system.

On the Horowitz case, I must say that I am anxious to see if they find any substantial evidence that this young man actually did this. So far, we haven’t heard any to conclusively show us that HE did in fact kill Pamela Vitale. How do we know that there isn’t a killer at large still? I am hoping this poor guy gets a fair trial because the media and the police have unequivocally stated that Horowitz couldn’t possibly be the murderer — without taking any of the normal investigative avenues. The police have really dropped the ball in this case the way they handled Horowitz.

I don’t believe Horowitz killed his wife either. His face is genuine and honest and match his words, but regardless — it is really setting this case to be botched now matter what comes forward.

Analyzing Horowitz

** I deleted this because it was announced on the day I posted this that there was an arrest in this case. I figured my timing was bad so this was useless to post.

I’ve seen a two interviews of Daniel Horowitz talking about his wife’s murder this past week. One on CNN and one on MSNBC.com.

Mr. Horowitz’s facial expressions, responses and answers are consistent in each of the videos I have seen. From the questions I have seen him answer, I do not believe he is a suspect.

Mr. Horowitz answered the questions he was asked — honestly.

I wish, however, someone would ask him OUT RIGHT if he murdered his wife, but I doubt I will see that because he is a known TV personality (Wouldn’t that be taboo?!).

Right now I stand at 85% confidence he is innocent of commiting a crime. If I see him answer the burning question of ‘Did you do it’, I can give a 100% certain answer.

Mr. Horowitz gives off genuine expressions of saddness about the loss of his wife, and genuine anger when he hears media-created lies.

I am also certain that Mr. Horowitz does not show any pathological traits.

Pam Smart

Pam Smart was interviewed recently and one of my readers, unknown to me (Susan), posted a link to an interview with Pam Smart online. You can see it here. I watched the video and will comment about it below.

Pam Smart is a sociopath. She lacks emotions, and doesn’t have the ability to feel sympathy or empathy for others.

In this interview, she flat out denies that she convinced her then boyfriend to murder her husband.

I believe she is flat out lying, but has tried to convince herself this is the truth (though I do think she still knows the real truth). Much of what Pam says in this interview is twisted. In the earliest part of the interview, she tries to be honest, but quickly gives in to lying.

Pam gives me the strong feeling that she is saying what she thinks she should say. Pam plays the part of what she believes “normal” is — because she knows her thoughts and beliefs aren’t normal.

What the real Pam Smart thinks would curl your hair!

Baby for Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes

Many people wrote to me back in June, and were dying to know if Tom and Katie were genuinely affectionate for each other. Many of you were questioning if perhaps they were using each other for great movie advertising.

I posted about it here.

At that time, I said while their timing was perfect, I did believe they had genuine feelings (of perhaps lust?!) for each other. Their facial expressions were consistent with what they were saying and how they were acting.

If they were lying, there would have been physical clues and inconsistencies. I didn’t see any.

I did not believe they were putting on a fake show for advertising — though their timing, again, was perfect.

Now there is proof that these two did more than just mingle on the red carpet to sell their movies.

Did I score a point? 😉

Are you game?

As fall comes around the corner, and I am relegated inside again, I find myself asking myself what it is I would like to do — to keep me busy over the long winter months.

Do I want to go into coaching?

Do I want to continue to write my relationship book?

Should I focus on photography?

What do I want to do!

Over and over again, I find my fascination with lie detecting center and paramount on my mind.

Then I test myself again. I see a clip of someone on a show before they tell you the outcome. They say the person is suspected of murder — for 20 years — and within 20 seconds of seeing the accused talk about the situation with no exterior clues — I can tell my husband if they are honest with great accuracy.

And more surprising, and to my support, I am not consistently supporting the media’s call. Like in the last case, a guy was suspected of murdering his wife for 20 plus years. He was tried but not convicted. When I saw the guy talk in the first minute of the show (he talked for 10-20 seconds), I knew immediately the guy was innocent (without a DOUBT) — and that is what the story revealed. Thankfully, I missed the story lead for that story (my DVR cut it off) or I wouldn’t have been able to test myself! The true killer was revealed: BTK (48 Hours Saturday).

It’s been over a year now that I have tested myself. And I have hesitated to call only a handful of people during this year because I suspect they were pathological liars — the hardest to detect. They give me great pause — because either they lack normal emotional responses or they are just strangely honest. But 90% of the time, I hit them on the head. I call people long before anyone around me even has a clue.

It’s chilling at times.

My husband is always surprised — sometimes he freaks out a bit. He says he can’t see anything I see — and he is a bright man — a highly educated engineer. Even when I rewind and play things in slow motion – – if I don’t give him clues — he misses it. He only sees it when I give details explanations.

I have a unique gift, and I so want to bring it out and use it for the good. I just want to be able to do what I am the best at, to enjoy my life — and to help others. I always have fought against injustice. This would just be another way to do it.

Would you be interested to record video snippets of yourselves, upload them to the web — and test me for real?

If you would, I would write up some parameters that you would have to follow to make this a good test. I would make those public.

I’ll do anything right now to test myself without putting myself in a huge spotlight because a huge spotlight would get me all emotional, nervous — and then my lie-dar would fuzz over and freeze!
