I couldnt really see the first video well enough to make an assessment, but did anyone else notice how frequently he touches his face in the apology video?
If touching your face is a nervous reflex then Im going to have to say he’s lying.

This is so fascinating! I never would have put two and two together that a delayed, or more concentrated written answer can be a lie. Sure, some people just might need a minute or two to organize their real thoughts, but when someone is lying they do need time to think of a legitmate story that can pass for the truth. Then you would be concentrating so hard on trying to make your writing look true, so the actual handwriting can be much neater than usual to show you took the time to make it look truthful.
