Lying, human nature and personal experience

That’s an opinion. You are entitled to it.

As is yours.

Legally speaking her testimony isn’t worth anything, due to the statute of limitations, along with the fact there is no way to assess the veracity of a 36 year old claim with no physical evidence and cloudy memories.

[FloridaYankee]

Correct. But testimony there will be by the looks of things and it will be up to the Senate to decide if they believe her, and perhaps more importantly, if they even care when it comes time to vote.

According to the DOJ’s own stats, only 23 percent of rapes and sexual assaults are reported and her accusation is perfectly plausible under the circumstances she described. Young men, pretty girls, alcohol? Happens every single day.

Ultimately the question is whether or not is if one is to believe her over him. He adamantly denies it. Legally speaking there is no compelling reason to believe her over him. This hearing if it takes place at all will likely be a complete waste of time.

What they should be doing is trying to talk to the two witnesses/accomplices. Naturally they would deny everything I suppose, but not necessarily given they cannot be arrested.

@Eagle-Keeper

Which means that the polygraph test is??? An effective tool to assess that someone is lying??? Not an effective tool to determine if someone is lying??? Somewhere in between???

somewhere in between.

One of the things that many are saying is that we should believe what woman say regarding sexual assaults. I’m curious, is this based upon any definitive scientific study regarding human nature and the propensity for lying based on various situations? In other words are there scientific studies indicating that the human propensity to lie is less likely with this type of event as compared to others?

Part of my professional career has involved working with High School students. I have found that they will often lie without equivocation or any trepidation. In other words it was not something that was in any way difficult. In other words humans lying is not some uncommon occurance that rarely happens and people don’t usually seem uncomfortable about doing so. It happens a lot with humans, I mean who here hasn’t lied at some point in their life? Which again brings me to the question regarding scientific studies on this particular human behavior.

I hear it was a “recovered” memory… The rest of us call that “made up”…

This is common of people who can not accept responsibility for themselves or their actions or the miserable state of their lives. Their mind starts to form a reasoning that places blame outside the persons control, thereby absolving themselves of responsibility. Self defense mechanism.
