Psychological Forensics

Ian accused Daniel of the capital crime of not washing his hands after going potty. Being a less-than-impartial authority, I assumed that Ian was correct in his assertion. At that point, Ian provided the following insight into the thought process behind assessing Daniel's credibility - this is something of a paraphrase, but not by much:

"I thought he was lying, because he had his lying face on, but sometimes he has a lying face when he's telling the truth, because I know sometimes I do, but then I remembered that he lies."
