Journal #5

After reading the slides for this week, I kept thinking to myself about major mistakes famous people have made when lying during investigations.  Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky investigation wouldn't touch the podium and that would have been a tell tale sign that he was lying.  I had already known that when a person during an investigation is lying, it's easier for them when a table is in front of them, so to solve this problem investigators will sit at a 90 degree angle.  I don't really agree with the Territorial Displays and Deceptions about people who are comfortable spread out and people who are uncomfortable will take up less space.  For myself, I just like to have my arms folded and find it comfortable and this causes me to not take up much space.  Some of the cues I found interesting, but some I found as possibly only working some of the time.  Obviously these are only cues to look for and to not simply see an observation and begin to accuse the person of being a liar, but some should be taken and analyzed first.
