Watching American true crime is painful when we are used to the UK system. Hang on you used a fucking polygraph? Are you actually serious? May as well just go “yeah that guy is giving me bad vibes, so I told him what to say to confess”. Meanwhile in the UK they look for actual evidence and can’t just tell you what to say to make a confession to something you didn’t do.
Stuff like "You said you were at home and have never met them, this evidence shows your DNA on the victim. How can you explain that? "
I have no concept of a law enforcement agency that does anything outside of try to coerce those society has deemed “problematic” into creating additional problems for themselves.
It is pretty terrible when I watch an American docu and am surprised when a detective/cop or team seems to genuinely care and have a desire to help. So many are horrible people. Audit the Audit is a good one for putting those types on blast.
What they won’t say is that it has nothing to do with any specific body language. You know how some people talk with their hands?
Well everyone has little things like that. In poker they call it a “tell” but that’s still inaccurate compared to what interrogaters are really doing.
They can’t actually tell if anyone bullshits or not. They have facts about the case, or in the CIA example they have intelligence. They use lie detectors and what not to create anxiety in the victim suspect/asset. When someone is in sufficient fear, they will let information slip because the brain literally loses control over itself. Too much fear, like in torture, and the brain will force the person to choose whatever answer it feels like will result in self preservation.
People brag about the times they were right, or the times they believe they were right. They won’t mention the times when they were wrong, or will just convince themselves they were right about something. If they brag to the right people, they can make a living out of it.

Also fuck those “crime stories” youtube channels where the narrator keep mentioning the suspect’s “body language” like if its indicative of anything.
Like bruh, they already read the results of the case, of course they know that the suspect is guilty/innocent, that “body language” is just hindsight.
