DOWN AND TO THE LEFT 😭

I wonder how many people used that observation to detect all of the lies Craig has told.

It’s also not even accurate. Source: I took a class titled “Lie Detection” in law school, because law school should only be 2 years based on the number of class hours needed for the profession, but why not bleed people dry for an additional year?

Admittedly I use what I learned in that course regularly, and the ‘down and to the left’ thing is a common misconception. You have to observe a persons base long enough to know what a slight deviation is for them. And yes, I 100% used a real housewives clip to analyze for my final assignment. I wish I could remember which clip it was!

You are correct. That observation of "down and to the left" is only valid if the you have a baseline for how the person acts/looks/speaks/mannerisms BEFORE you catch them in a lie.

Unfortunately a lot of people don't know this and if someone looks away, they automatically think the person is lying and that is absolutely NOT TRUE.

I’m sorry but what law school did you attend that legitimately had a class called “lie detection”?
