General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: "Guilty": Part Two [View all]On of the signs of true sociopathy is when a person lies even when it would be in their favor to tell the truth, and then -- when confronted on the lie -- simply replaces it with a "new" and different lie, without missing a beat. Most people, it is fair to say, would be mighty uncomfortable in being caught in telling a whooper on the witness stand. Not this guy. He just admitted the first lie was a lie, and then went to the next lie.
Years ago, I had a federal investigator ask me to sit in on a meeting with a client who had been caught stealing from Medicaid's mileage reimbursement. She had, in under a year's time, stolen over $60,000,which she invested in cocaine. Again, a normal thief would be nervous under such circumstances. Not her. Lie, lie, lie; no matter how many times she was caught in a lie, she just replaced it with another lie. At least she was non-violent.
