    His cry face is so comical and forced. It’s not even genuine. Even has very outwardly visible psychopathic tendencies, besides the actions.

      I’m thinking that’s his face being caught in time, where there was actually motion. Those eyebrows do really look sad and remorseful. But I don’t gaf. They deserve the punishment.

        I dunno there’s something about his face that seems like he’s spent his whole life copying emotion, not actually feeling them, it’s a pretty convincing copy, I agree, but it reads disingenuous to me. Does he actually have tears, because that’s a classic tell, psychopaths will pull the “cry face” like they’re crying, and wipe at their face, as if there’s tears, but there isn’t tears. I’m betting he’s trying to emotionally provoke a lighter sentence. I don’t think he’s sad at all. I would bet his predominant feeling would actually be anger.

          There’s also our bias to consider. I saw his face before I read what they did, and his face looked perfectly genuine to me. Also crying can start before tears show, so there isn’t definitive proof here obviously.

          But yeah, what your gut tells you could also be perfectly true as well!

            Yeah, I saw the face before I read anything, it was his face that told me he’d done something fkd up. I notice not many people can tell faked emotions. I don’t think I’m special, in that I can, I just had a very close up, long lasting education on it, that took me nearly 20 years to click on to, so maybe I’m actually slow on the uptake. But now, I can’t unsee it, now I can spot a faked emotion, in a nanosecond.

              I’m usually pretty sensitive to that as well. “As an empath” or whatever. 😆 I just don’t feel like there’s enough to go on from this freeze frame. It looks super faked as a picture, I will agree(!), I just can’t be sure what’s going on if we had video, you know? That’s all I got. 😁
