The tell tale signs of George “Pinocchio” Zimmerman were on full display last night as he sat in an exclusive interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity”: the entire interview was a fabrication.
Zimmerman was obviously coached by his attorney Mark O’Mara; the questions were known beforehand, Hannity never hit him with a hard hitting inquiry – not to mention he consistently lead Zimmerman to the appropriate answer with every question.
One question in particular which I had to rewind and watch over and over again, happened when Hannity asked Zimmerman if he had ever offered to pay for his legal fees. With a smile and slight chuckle, Zimmerman shook his head and said no.
That was the one instance that made me take notice; it was one of the few times during the interview that Zimmerman smiled or laughed, which convinces me that he lied about that question.
Every lie detection expert will tell you that that there are certain “tells” that give a person away.
First, look at Zimmerman’s facial expression. You can tell when someone’s lying while looking at their face and see, for only a fraction of a second, a person’s true emotion underneath their facade. So Zimmerman may have been smiling when answering the question, but analyzing his face tells a different story.
One of the most obvious signs of a liar is the sweat factor. If you watched the interview last night, you couldn’t help notice the river of sweat gathering on Zimmerman’s lips. It’s a tell tale sign of a liar, besides don’t you think under those hot lights the air conditioner would have been on full blast?
Back to the smile, if someone fakes a smile for you, it can also mean that they want to make a good impression on you because they value you as a person and are showing respect. It’s evident that Hannity and Zimmerman had a past. Hannity reached out to Zimmerman back in April, so who’s to say they didn’t keep a relationship going since then?
The entire interview was as transparent as saran wrap and didn’t do anything to help Zimmerman’s case. In fact, it damages his credibility.
Today, Special Prosecutor Angela Corey filed a notice that she will use the interview against Zimmerman at trial, which goes to show that she saw something that wasn’t right.
We all saw something that didn’t sit well. For instance, I noticed Zimmerman tried his best to recount every little detail about the night of the shooting, only to keep changing his story, making him look guilty.
Trying to remember every detail on a dark rainy night after you killed someone, I would imagine is very difficult, but trying to recant that story while slipping up and changing the details in an attempt to look innocent only makes you look guilty.
All the signs were there during the hour-long interview and come trial time, the only thing that will be set free is the truth.
