Mark McClish | Statement Analysis

Truth and Lies - both are critical elements in discerning what happened in most true crime cases. I speak with an interview expert, Mark McClish, who in addition to a 26 year in federal law enforcement, developed a technique called Statement Analysis, which helps him ascertain if a person’s statements - written or oral - are truthful. We discuss truthfulness at large and how humans generally do not want to lie. You will learn why “never” is a problematic word, and I ask him about one of the principles from his book: BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE TELL YOU. We unpack this for a bit. While we touch on several high profile cases and statements made by related individuals, I ask him specifically about a case that he used as an example in his book, “I Know You are Lying.” the statement is a 1993 video interview by Michael Jackson in response to allegations of molesting a child. I am including a link to the interview here. It will give context and might be helpful as we talk about some of those words.
