Assuming that in his six years as a criminal justice student he wasn't aware of the fact that vsa is used to trick and intimidate.
From what we know of his upbringing he may very well have learned to lie effectively to avoid his mothers wrath. I did.
:doh
Excuses, excuses.
Anything not to believe that which is obviously the truth.
That is your bias.
First off, go back and listen to Serino ask him about his education and what it entailed. Your supposition is highly unlikely.
And VSA being used to trick and intimidate? It is used that way to get confessions. Not the truth.
Not to show that the person is not being deceptive.
He voluntary took them.
Cooperated the whole time. From the get, without lawyering up.
Besides witness #6, didn't know who saw what, or if anybody saw anything, and yet while cooperating fully and voluntarily, his account still was consistent with theirs.
Even after being told that it may have been caught on video, he stated he would be happy if it was.
Even after standing up to seasoned detectives questioning, trying to poke hole in what he said and trying to get him to admit he may have detained him ...
His account still adds up to self defense as Serino stated.
Yet you want to sit there and ignore all of that, even though it would sway anybody who could think logically, all because you you don't believe?
No. That is clearly your bias speaking and not common sense or logic.
And you thinking you are an accomplished liar, matters not to this discussion.
But it does place every damn thing you say into a new perspective.
:rolls eyes: Self admittance! :doh
