How to spot a lie—Brian Oxman Part 8

Here is an interview given to ITN on June 26: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48RjrkQYCIA&feature=fvsr.

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.

How to spot a lie—Jermaine Jackson Part 1

This is Jermaine’s interview at Neverland Ranch with Matt Lauer. It is the first interview with a family member after Michael Jackson’s death. Check out part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-9Vm25hgu8.

0:25 Check out his eyes. They flicker to the right while he talks.

0:30 “It’s very tough”, he says while shaking his head “no”.

0:45 “We lost our brother,” he says while shaking his head “no”. He continues with, “Our…Our…”, then glances to the right searching for something to say. Then he goes on to say that “it is unreal; it is unbelievable” while looking right and shaking his head “no”.

1:05 Matt Lauer says that Katherine Jackson told Jermaine that Michael was dead. He keeps glancing to the right. When he says he rushed to the hospital, he shakes his head “no”.

1:40 He says he went straight to his mother. In the previous interviews with Brian Oxman, Oxman says that when Jermaine arrived a little after Randy they hugged and cried, before Jermaine walked into the room where his family was.

1:55-2:40 He keeps glancing to the right.

3:25 He says “He [Allah] is taking him back,” and shakes his head “no”.

4:40 He says Michael was against abusing medication, and says that he would be hurt if he was. He continues by saying that he doesn’t know for sure if Michael was or was not. According to Oxman, though, he says the family knew about it and he warned them about this happening. Jermaine doesn’t act like he knows anything about this.

How to spot a lie—Brian Oxman Part 6

The next day, Brian Oxman gave a similar interview to the one previously. This one was on the Today Show on NBC with Meredith Vieira. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJV2OhPclWw&feature=related.

0:15 “I got a call from Randy Jackson’s assistant. She told me that he was being taken to the hospital.” Notice that he says to this time and not from.

0:23 “I called Randy. I said, ‘Randy what is happening.’ He says, ‘Brian, I don’t know. I’m on the way to the hospital.’ I said, ‘I’ll see you there.’ He said, ‘This is serious.’” Basically, this is what he said before, but this time it makes sense and is in chronological order.

How to spot a lie—Brian Oxman Part 1

This is an impromptu interview given by Brian Oxman on June 25th: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBw9DX2ucBs.

Check out a few slip-ups that he made:

0:00 “Do the children know what happened?” Oxman responds “Not that I know of, not that I know of. They are with the nanny.” First of all, weren’t they at the house when all of this happened? Didn’t some reports say that Prince thought that his father was playing around or that Murray wanted Prince to come help him? Secondly, didn’t they follow the ambulance to the hospital? According to Latoya this is when she and Paris went in to see Michael’s body and Paris gave him the necklace.

0:30 “Do you know who called 911?” Oxman replies, “From what I was told, Frank DiLeo told 911, but that is unconfirmed. I don’t know.” Someone told him that it was Frank DiLeo? That’s weird.

1:50 “Do you think that this is an affect of Farrah Fawcett passing?” Oxman replies, “I can’t say that for sure. I know that he loved Farrah Fawcett. I do know that he is in difficult condition.” The person who posted the video says that it was taken about 4:30pm. Michael Jackson was pronounced dead at 2:26pm. Maybe he didn’t know? Well, Jermaine did not make the announcement until 6:15pm, so it’s a slight possibility. Something else to think about: What was going on from 2:26pm until 6:15pm? Getting back to the facts, Michael was pronounced dead at 2:26pm, and at 4:30pm Brian Oxman did not know that he had passed. That is still strange to me. If you were as hugging family members as Oxman claimed to be doing in other interviews, you would think that he would have been there when a doctor broke the news to the family. If he was not, you would think that a member of the family would have told him or he could have guessed from everyone’s mood. I don’t know, but I just think that that is really weird.

If you are like me, you need to know for a fact that this interview was at 4:30pm on June 25th and not before. The easiest part is proving that it was June 25th. If you noticed, one of the interviewers mentioned Farrah Fawcett’s death. Now the hard part is to prove that this took place at 4:30pm. During the video Oxman keeps saying that he has to find the CNN van. The show on CNN that he was interviewed on (Lou Dobbs tonight) started at 4pm and he did not come on immediately. Thus, this gives him time to be interviewed on the street at approximately 4:30pm, and then show up at the CNN van afterwards. Even in the CNN interview he says he can’t confirm Michael Jackson’s death, but, as I said before, I would think he would know something since (according to him) he was very close to the family during this time, and they would have known something by now.

2:10 Oxman says that there was a drug problem and that the family was worried about it also. Big contradiction to what Kenny Ortega said.
