Truth or lie?
Interesting story…do you believe it or not? If not, why?

Happy Holidays from me to you!
May your holiday season be bright, joyful and full of love!
Radley was the son of Lanny and Donna Horwitz. They were a blessed family with lots of money to live the good life, but life wasn’t good for Lanny and Donna. The two separated and divorced multiple times and upon the last reconciling, things were still tainted between them as another woman was in the scene.
So when Lanny ended up dead, the mystery was who did it? The case is long and involved, but eventually a court of law determined that it was Lanny’s first love, Donna, to whom he was married previously and had recently reconciled with who did it. They believed she had motive…the motive of jealousy because of the other woman. But the case was all circumstantial.
When 48 Hours aired this story a week ago, one person dropped a boat load of red flags and I can tell you unequivocally, I didn’t believe him whatsoever. That person is Lanny’s son, Radley. While I cannot conclusively rule out Donna as being involved, Radley was hotter than a potato out of the oven. I have little doubt he knows exactly what happened and could have easily been the killer — protected by his mother after the fact as she knows he is young and has his whole life ahead of him and a daughter to raise.
Radley is egotistical and arrogant, and quite frankly a chip off the old block. They say people who are alike either love each other or hate each other. With Radley and Lanny, it turned to hate.
Radley’s “stories” were over-the-top and his behaviors were unnatural at every turn. He had me crawling up the walls that he was never looked at as a suspect.
I do not trust one word Radley said to 48 Hours or on the stand.
Thanks to the two people who sent this to me.
A reader has sent me this video of a fake interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial asking if I see any signs of deception. I do not know sign language.
When watching the video, I do see several notable points:
1. The hand movements of the two signers are dramatically different.
2. One looks precise and the other sloppy.
3. The sloppy one doesn’t seem to be listening for the words to interpret them. He almost acts caught off guard as the speaker talks, like “oh yeah, I gotta do this”.
4. The woman’s gestures vary dramatically. The man’s gestures all seem all too similar and he doesn’t spell out words like the woman does.
5. The man has an arrogance about him. I can feel his love of attention. Can you?
I would definitely be put off by the sloppy, inattentive nature of the man and his arrogance. He wouldn’t be someone I would trust if he came to speak to me. I suspect if I were there and watched this, I would be suspect of the man, for sure, but that’s about all I can say.
Readers are asking why did this man do this? Did he really think he’d get away with this? While I haven’t spoken to him and I don’t know him, knowing human behavior I can speculate that yes, he thought he’d get away with it. People who are arrogant often aren’t grounded and realistic. He likely convinced himself there wouldn’t be enough deaf people listening to call him out. Yes, that is humorous to us, but he didn’t have that foresight. His arrogance blinded him.
As I always say, arrogance is the biggest stumbling block for liars there is! It brought this jerk down to earth real fast.
