It is a pretty short interview (only three minutes in length), but there is one major thing I want to bring up. These “How to spot a lie” posts do more than just point lies; they detail what each person exactly said in his/her interviews and point out inconsistencies. I’ve always believed that the way to figure this out is by looking at the months leading up to the death and the days immediately after. To me, this was the time people would most likely slip-up before getting their stories in sync.
Over the course of listening to the Brian Oxman interviews, one thing immediately stuck out to me weeks ago, but I shrugged it off as nothing. It happened again, and still I decided that it was nothing. But, it happened again, and I can’t keep shrugging it off as nothing. Coincidences are normal, but too many show a pattern. Here is what I have been seeing:
Part 5: http://hoaxornot.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-spot-liebrian-oxman-part-5.html
Again, I mention starting at 0:15 Brian Oxman’s calls and how he had re-worded his story of what happened. He did not say “from the hospital”, and this time it made a lot more sense, but it was still almost the same as what he said in Part 5. He had just cleared up the mistakes.
Part 6: http://hoaxornot.blogspot.com/2010/04/how-to-spot-liebrian-oxman-part-6.html
Again, I mention starting at 0:15 Brian Oxman’s calls and how he had re-worded his story of what happened. He did not say “from the hospital”, and this time it made a lot more sense, but it was still almost the same as what he said in Part 5. He had just cleared up the mistakes.
Part 8:
1:17 “I got a phone call from Randy Jackson’s assistant. He is the youngest of the Jackson brothers and the assistant told me that Michael had been taken to the hospital. I got a hold of Randy. I said, ‘Randy, what’s happened?’ He said he didn’t know he was on the way to the hospital and to meet him there. I got there first. It was chaos. When he walked through the door, we just hugged one another. He was crying he couldn’t speak. I couldn’t speak. He went into the next room and that was then followed a few minutes later by Jermaine coming into the hospital. His tears were streaming down his faced. I hugged him. I said, ‘Jermaine’ and he could not speak to me and I knew what happened and Jermaine then went into the other room.”
Does this sound familiar?
What has really bothered me about these accounts is that it seems just like a story. Every time he talks about this, he seems to basically recite the exact same thing. Though he should say the same story every time, it should not be word for word. It might just be me, but it seems to be rehearsed.
Liars have speech that is too "perfect". People are not tape recorders. Our memories are imperfect. Normally, when people trying to recall the truth, they make minor mistakes in memory -- they often need to circle back, fill in details they have forgotten. But liars are different. They sound like tape recorders. Every detail is remembered. And every detail is recited in perfect chronological order. Liars make fewer speech errors than those telling the truth, and they rarely backtrack to fill in forgotten or incorrect details… Ever notice how many politicians can recite a speech the same way each time, never missing a beat, even pausing for effect at the exact time, time after time. Not to say they are all liars but the skill of repeating a story exactly the same each time is one of the main ways to spot a liar.
