Trained on confronting liars by renowned expert Susan Constantine
In October 2016, Michael Waddington and Alexandra González-Waddington, traveled to Atlanta, GA for an intensive course called “Evaluating Truthfulness: Never be Lied to Again.” The course is the first of a series that teaches lawyers and law enforcement how to identify deception using verbal and non-verbal cues.
The course also covered detecting deception in written statements based on analysis of keywords, repetitive language, deceptive and evasive language, and other aspects of written statements to get to the bottom of what’s true, what’s not, and where some of the story is missing. The program was sponsored by the Georgia Bar Association.
The instructor, Susan Constantine, MPsy, is the world’s leading authority on body language as it pertains to deception detection. For the past decade, she has been a go-to expert and jury consultant, analyzing the body language of witnesses, jurors, and public figures. The media regularly turns to Constantine for analysis of U.S. and global political leaders, celebrities, and suspects in highly publicized trials. She has trained thousands of lawyers and investigators across the country. Click here to visit her website.
