Preview of “Lie to Me”

/in , /by

Fox has uploaded four clips from the pilot of “Lie to Me”, which premieres this Wednesday night. I thought you might enjoy getting to see a preview.

From Fox: Adjust Your DVRs!
The premiere of LIE TO ME
runs after American Idol
from 9:03-10:06 ET (8:03-9:06 CST)

I really enjoyed watching these clips. They were somewhat “healing” for me. They reflect my own experiences in life, quite beautifully. It feels so good to say “There! That’s how I feel!” It feels even better to watch Dr. Cal Lightman do what I’ve always wanted to do in my adult life, but chose not to: call people out on their lies! That’s what was so healing for me. Yes, I see life through very similar eyes, and at times, it gets overwhelming.

Furthermore, I have tried to offer others glimpses of what it is like to see through my eyes when people ask, only to see people gloss over in a fog of unknowing when I try to explain it. I’ve learn to accept I was not someone who was easily understood, but this show offers hope for me. It’s exciting. It feels good. People will finally understand what it is like to have this ability (and to be me).

Fox, at least from the pilot previews, has nailed it.

I really related to Clip 2. I work for myself and I have been in countless business meetings where I have seen heaps of *stuff*. I would have loved nothing better than to unload it, or call people out on it just like Dr. Lightman does in this clip. Would it ever feel good!! But of course, to actually do so in real life wouldn’t go over well. I can tell you, people would write you off as a loony! So watching Dr. Cal Lightman do what I’ve always wanted to do with the audience on this side–now that’s healing!

I also got a great chuckle out of clip #3 for the same reason as clip #2.

In clip 4, when Dr. Cal Lightman walks out of his office and on to the streets, he sees one lie after another. In February of 2007, I wrote a post I titled the “difficult side” (of this ability). I wrote about all the emotions that I encounter when I am out in public and how it can be overwhelming for me. I also see lies, too, from time-to-time as shown in this video, though not as frequently –it just depends where I am, and more or less if I can hear people talking. This clip is not “unrealistic”. I was actually taken by it after watching it. I was like “Wow”. They captured it. They got it. They nailed it!

The only thing I didn’t get was in Clip 1. Why do they use a polygraph? It doesn’t make any sense. Is it simply for effect–for show dramatization?

Thankfully, I have a very caring and compassionate husband who is willing to listen to all my experiences, and lets me vent out all the stuff I see, because much of what I see is not “socially acceptable” to talk about. It’s not politically correct. It’s the stuff that we as a society don’t talk about, we don’t want to face, that we would rather deny and bury. It’s the stuff we hope that no one else sees. It’s the stuff sometimes even I won’t dare to write about here on my blog because it is too damn personal for the people whose lives I see into without ever asking to!

What do you think of the pilot clips?

Amanda Knox’s Trial Started Today

/in /by

Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito’s murder trial for Meredith Kercher began today in a Perugia courtroom. New reports are saying that the media has descended upon the beautiful, picturesque town in droves to cover a trial that could last for up to a year.

I read the news and found some interesting tidbits. I never knew that Knox had been arrested before. Did you?

[BBC.com] Reporters descended on Amanda’s home city of Seattle in search of more details of her private life.

They discovered that the Washington University student had been arrested and fined in 2007 for her role in a drunken party that police were called to.

A picture began to be painted of a “party girl” who abused drink and drugs and had an active sex life.

The Guardian.co.uk displays a photo of Knox in the courtroom earlier today, and I find that photo as well as the one of Knox with Sollecito the day of Kercher’s body discovery fascinating.

Photo no longer available

If you were facing trial for murder, for a murder you did not commit, and it was the first day you appeared in court as the world peered on with countless reporters all glaring at you, would you be relaxed and comfortable enough to smile casually? Knox’s face in this photo looks notably relaxed to me.

[Guardian.co.uk] A smiling Amanda Knox walked into a frescoed underground Italian courtroom this morning at the start of her trial for the murder of her British fellow-student Meredith Kercher.

Dressed in jeans, a grey, black and white striped top and grey hooded tracksuit jacket, she chatted in a seemingly relaxed way with her lawyers.

Is Knox that naive to believe she will walk free without a worry? Her character, her behavior and her actions to date certainly don’t support she is a person who is naive. She certainly didn’t live a sheltered existance — especially after spending a year in a foreign prison.

Why doesn’t she have an ounce of worry? Most innocent people in her shoes would be shaking in their boots, panicked, worried, or fearful of what the outcome will be. Is Knox arrogant enough to think she will get off without a hitch, is she that emotionally detached, or self-delusional? This photo begs us to ask why.

Also, the day that Meredith Kercher’s body was found, I found Knox’s behavior interesting as well. If you are completely innocent and uninvolved in the murder of your flatmate, wouldn’t you be rattled to the core that a murderer came within footsteps of where you co-habitated?

Wouldn’t you feel fear that this murderer is still lurking out there that morning when the body was found, and that they could still be watching you? Wouldn’t you fear that you could be the next victim?

Yet when we watch Knox and Sollecito kiss and interact that day, we see none of these emotions. It’s absolutely perplexing! They seem to have no fear, which is very abnormal. There seems to be no stress in their faces whatsoever. Did they know they didn’t have to worry?

Ever since I heard that Knox said that she was in the flat that night [my post November 9, 2007], and that she heard a scream, but was scared so she covered her ears, my alarm bells went off on high.

No one hears a blood curdling scream, and doesn’t know the source, but covers their ears. As humans, when we hear a threatening noise, albeit a scream, a loud bang or thud, we don’t just decide to cover our ears without knowing what is going on. Our natural, biological response is to investigate the noise. It’s a protective measure we all have within us, an instinct for survival, because that noise could ultimately be warning that we, too, are in danger.

We only cover our ears when we know what is going on, but don’t want to listen to the wretched noise before us. This statement shows that Amanda had some awareness of what was going on when Kercher screamed. To me, that is bone-chilling. I don’t think Knox lied about this bit of information. I suspect she was there and she did hear a scream, and perhaps she did cover her ears, but I believe she knew what was going on. It’s too strange of a lie to come up with if she wasn’t there or wasn’t in some way involved. She just changed the details, and those details give her away.

Do I think Knox killed Kercher? I have no clue, but I do see enough that makes me question that Knox has not been honest with us, and at a minimum she didn’t help a roommate who she knew was being violated in one form or another. Instead, it appears from what she says, she stood by and listened, and turned her cold back to a person in desperate need of help.

 

Curtis Vance Speaks Out

/1 Comment/in /by

Curtis Vance, the suspect in the murder of Anne Pressly, spoke out to the media today.

Read My Thoughts HereHe says very little, but his behavior and words here are very telling.

Vance says that he did not kill Pressly, and that seeing Pressly’s family was “sad”.

Sad. Can you believe it?

He thinks he should feel sadness!

If you are wrongly accused, I can guarantee the first you emotion you are going to feel is not sadness for the victim or the victim’s family. If your life as you know it could be over because you are being wrongly accused of a murder you didn’t commit, you will, without a doubt, feel mad or violated that people have this all wrong. You will be frustrated that people aren’t seeing the truth for what it is. Sadness would be the furthest thing from your mind.

Clearly Vance’s emotions are abnormal and unusual, which is a big red flag.

Listen to what Vance says to the reporter. The reporter asks Vance, “What was it like seeing her parents there today and all of her friends and supporters?” Watch what Vance says. It’s mind-blowing.

He says “It was gooh…” Does he mean to say “good”? Notice he stops himself mid-thought and changes the course of what he is saying. He is thinking as he speaks. Look at his head shake, too, as this all occurs.

Does that give you the chills?

Does it make any sense?

I think it is pretty obvious Vance was about to say the word “good” which is supported by his affirmative head shake which then changes course as he changes his thoughts. This is a strong indicator that seeing Pressly’s family today for him was a positive experience.

Is that how you would feel if you were wrongly accused of killing some woman? Would it feel good to see her family as they glared at you with hatred and disgust? Of course not. But if you had some sick pervsion, it might.

A few words, one emotion, and changing thoughts are quite revealing, wouldn’t you say? It’s chilling.

Roy Kronk: My Opinion

/in /by

Roy Kronk is the big mystery man this week. Is he being honest with us or not? Click on the image below to see the video.

Here are three of the four 911 calls Kronk made as well. You can follow the links to listen to them as well.

August 11
August 12
August 13

READ MOREWhen I listen to the 911 calls, I don’t hear anything that tips me off or concerns me. I don’t hear a man who is nervous or who sounds like he is acting, or making up a story. And when I watch Kronk on GMA, I also get the sense he is sincere.

I’m a little bit perplexed by Kronk’s persistence with the police if he didn’t get close to the bag prior to December 11th. If he didn’t know anything conclusive (i.e., investigate it more than he is saying), why didn’t he just brush it off and forget about it? This raises my eyebrows and leaves me wanting to ask more questions, but nothing more.

I keep wondering if Kronk smelled the smell of death that day in August as he and his co-worker stood by the side of the road catching some shade, and that strong smell is what led Kronk to investigate the area further, and led him to spot the bag. What he did from there, I don’t know.

Who thinks of the smell of death, and concealing that smell in a decaying swamp?

Have you ever thought about that?

It’s rather unusual. Then again, it may not mean anything. He may have just added up the pieces, and knew that the bag and the “white” material underneath was not good one way or another.

I will stand on this: I do not think Kronk knew the Anthonys or had any contact with them. I also believe Kronk when he says he had nothing to do with Caylee’s disappearance. I believe Kronk when he says that.
