    Lawyers don’t determine who’s guilty or innocent. That’s the job of the jury or judge. Lawyers defend their clients and make their case using evidence. Body language cues aren’t admissible as evidence. It might be a good skill for an interrogator to have...but you can’t determine whether someone is guilty or not based on body language, it’s not a reliable method. You have to determine guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

    While it is true that guilt is only decided by the trier of fact (judge or jury). Otherwise your comment made clear that you’re not an attorney. As a defense counsel in a criminal case you don’t need to assess “innocence or guilt p” per se. However reading body language of clients, judges and juries, just as a starting point, is everything in our profession. If you can’t do it well you won’t last long as a litigator, criminal or civil. If we can’t read a client’s body language how do you think we make a full assessment to best advise on any number of critical issues, such as accepting a plea, whether to choose a jury or a bench trial and how to plead.. I’ve practiced law for over 23 years, as a federal prosecutor, public defender and now as a judge and will never understand why the general (non attorney) public feels comfortable giving legal advice and explaining concepts as though they’re practicing members of their state bar. Even attorneys hire other attorneys to represent themselves in areas outside their normal practice areas (myself included) yet for some reason the world thinks it’s appropriate to pretend they’re qualified to speak to others definitively on myriad legal issues (that is almost always wrong). There’s a reason I don’t have my dentist perform my annual mammogram; yes, he’s a doctor but that’s not his job. I’m sure he’s touched breasts before but he has no training or expertise to perform the test. By the same token I don’t walk into other people’s workplaces and decide to do their jobs on the spot, skipping all that pesky school, training and experience.

The contestant said "upine," apparently thinking of the word "porcupine," which didn't make sense, because there's a "k" in "pork," but not in "porcupine." So, of course, the man's answer wasn't on the board, because obviously the people who set it up would have known that there's no "k" in "porcupine," so it never would have occurred to them to include such an asinine answer as "upine."

And unlike the couple in this video they actually sued Fox for the money, however there was never an update on the lawsuit... most likely got dropped. But ironically these two incidents were enough to cancel the show entirely. Guess the backlash became to much for the show... that and a rumor about the host being in on the second incident.

    In Michael Larsen's case, it would have only been cheating if he had anything to do with the design or the creation of the board. So you really can't fault him for his strategy. As for Terry Kneiss, if you watch enough episodes of The Price for Right, you're likely to know and memorize the prices of prizes. So technically no rules were broken.

  • @TeamPaul17

    The reason Kneiss looked shady was that while it is difficult enough to get the Item Up For Bids exactly right, pricing three prizes (or even four or more on occasion) for a showcase is nearly impossible. However, you are right -- I remember the $144 BBQ tool kit well, as they used that particular mini-prize ALL THE TIME a few years ago. It's no one's fault that producers repeated items frequently. Now, they'll mix things up a bit with various add-ons or accessories being used to create a range of price points for common prizes. As for Larsen, once I heard the explanation for his strategy, I was shocked to hear that it hadn't happened already (although early 80's tech made that a little difficult). In the documentary on his life and death, Peter Tomarken even had his opponents that day (and Larsen's brother) practice Larsen's technique on a mock-up board with the same patterns. It took them a bit, but they started to get it.

    @@christopheredale If you're asking seriously, lie detectors cannot detect if someone is lying, lie detectors monitor your pulse, your temperature, your blood pressure, your breathing, and a few other bodily functions related to stress. They're intended to see if the questions/answers raise your stress level because if you're stressed out over a question, you're "lying". However, people can become stressed out over a lot of things without lying. Say you hook up a car crash victim who witnessed their parents fly through the front window, and asked them if they were somehow responsible, that would likely trigger a lot of stress, anxiety, and even anger, because how could they have caused the accident? But to the lie detector, the victim is lying because they're stressed. If a girl is raped and someone asks if she did something to ask for it, she could be having anxiety about just being there, having to answer uncomfortable questions. Also, a person with low empathy might be okay with murdering someone and not be stressed out by questioning, or someone just might be able to manage their stress so well that the lie detector doesn't pick up on anything because they aren't showing signs of stress. It just doesn't work effectively, and it's been proven to not work repeatedly, so to the point where lie detector tests are not admissible in court. Lie detector tests simply do not work. The whole basis of the show is to use a lie detector in order to find the truth. If the test itself is flawed, then the "truth" is falsifiable, meaning it really isn't the truth. This woman for example lost her marriage out of fear that if she lied, the lie detector test would reveal the truth, and it wouldn't have. Equally, if someone told the truth, but the lie detector read that they were lying, then that is also extremely damaging. If someone was asked if they cheated on a partner, and honestly said no, but the lie detector says that persons lying, what do you think that would do to that relationship? It would ruin real love, real trust, and real people's lives. That is why The Moment of Truth is so incredibly fraudulent.

    In Italy we had a couple of historic cases, both in tv game shows presented by the same man. The first one was in the Wheel of Fortune. The main contestant is still known today simply as "Mr Giancarlo". He had to solve a phrase about amazons: "They won battles thanks to their ardor" (Vinsero le battaglie grazie alla loro f*ga). But the word "ardor" in Italian is "foga", which is very similar to "F-I-G-A", which means (sorry) "p*ssy". Everyone started laughing, because Giancarlo chose to become a legend by saying out loud the latter, thus knowingly losing the game. The other case was during another show where a contestant started to read her own notes during the final game. Consider that these episodes happened many years ago, when basically everyone was watching those shows. She was caught and eliminated. And then she fainted (or at least faked it).

    Surely the controversy can’t be because he “overheard an audience member yell the perfect bid to him” like the original commentator says, because in every game, audience members are encouraged/constantly yelling out their personal guesses aloud, in literally every game. (Think of the car-game, where the contestant picks a number between 0-9 then pays the host a dollar for every number they’re off) the audience is ALWAYS yelling out what the contestant should choose, so it’s kinda unfair to say but during the showcase the contestant has to now “ignore” what he should hear from any given audience member, when they literally shout & hold up their fingers on what they personally guess, every game/episode The truth I read, is that the contestant shown, & his wife watched a shit ton of episodes of remembered the pricing of each item up for bid. So based off memory they just added up what such & such costed in previous episodes

Then she signaled that price to Terry.... also Drew knew before reading it on air that he bid the exact price. Because production was talking about it with him during a break. You can see in the episode Drew is not happy when he reads the price because he thinks the show is gonna be canceled for this. Watch the documentary everyone. It's free on KZread.
