I just remember thinking to myself, while watching the bail hearing, "Boy Zimmerman sure blinks a lot". I think he blinked all the way through that hearing.

there is actually weight behind "look me in the eyes and tell me you're not lying". The subconscious is a bitch

the clown will be an absolute DISASTER if he testifies, and his whole defense is based on what HE SAYS happened, which evolves from one sentence to another. They can't mount a defense without him testifying and if he testifies he will be ALL OVER the place

He might want to push it all the way through, but I have to believe his lawyer will take it to the last possible moment before his taking the stand and then strongly advise him to take a plea.

I just can't see how anyone defends this clown.

He clearly is half mental, clearly stalked this poor kid and executed him.

Liars are exposed by blinking
The best way to spot a liar is to look them in the eyes, according to scientists who say the number of times a person blinks will show if they are speaking the truth.
Liars blink less frequently than normal during the lie, and then speed up to around eight times faster than usual afterwards.
The findings, reported in the Journal of Non-verbal Behaviour, means that blink rates could soon be used by professionals, such as the police and security forces, to tell when someone is being duplicitous.
Dr Sharon Leal, co-author of the study at Portsmouth University, said: "It is striking what different patterns in eye blinks emerged for liars and truth tellers.

Usually threads just show a video link and don't tell what is in the video.

I haven't seen this video, where is it?
