"I'm Sorry" In Statement Analysis

During Cindy Anthony's 911 call, she handed the phone to Casey, who appeared to be

unprepared to speak and when asked about not searching for Caylee said, "I'm sorry?" in what 

appeared to be a pause to gather her thoughts. 

The need to pause and think indicates sensitivity. 

We listen for the words "I'm sorry" to 'leak' from the brain of the guilty.  Not everyone that says 

the words "I'm sorry" is guilty, but it is interesting to notice how these words seem to slip out of 

those suspected of deception.  

"To the people who don't believe in cycling, the cynics and the skeptics," Lance Armstrong said from 

the Tour de France podium in 2005. "I'm sorry for you. I'm sorry that you can't dream big. I'm sorry 

you don't believe in miracles."


Some people will say "I'm sorry", politely while, perhaps indicating that they did not hear or correctly 

hear the speaker in a manner where people used to say, "I beg your pardon?" yet it is also not to be 

ignored that "I'm sorry" seems to leak out of someone while under accusation.  It is in this light, 

that is, while under accusation, that we might consider if the words "I'm sorry" are leaking from 

the brain of the accused. 

For Lance Armstrong, these words came out three times in a row, which, in principle, makes them 

sensitive just for the repetition alone. 

Sometimes, someone does say "I am sorry" for what they have said and/or done: 

REESE WITHERSPOON 
ARRESTED 
'You're About to Find Out Who I Am!'

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS

9:40 PM PT-- Reese has just released a statement, saying,

"Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that was no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I am very sorry for my behavior."

Reese Witherspoon pulled her celebrity card out while her husband was getting arrested for DUI, telling the officer who ended up busting her, "You're about to find out who I am."

The arrests went down in Atlanta early Friday morning. Cops say they spotted Reese and her husband Jim Toth's car -- a silver Ford Fusion -- weaving in and out of lanes, so they pulled them over.

As officers dealt with Jim, Reese allegedly started acting up, telling cops, "Do you know my name?" The officer answered by saying, "No, I don't need to know your name."

Witherspoon then came back with, "You're about to find out who I am ... You are going to be on national news."

During Jim's arrest, Reese allegedly became ornery, demonstrating visual and verbal frustration over how long it was taking to arrest her husband. At one point, she got out of her car and the officer ordered her back inside. When she got out a second time, he arrested her for disorderly conduct, a municipal ordinance.

They were both taken to jail, booked, and released a short time later.

As for Toth's part of the arrest ... the officer in the report described him by saying his "eye lids were droopy" and his eyes were "blood shot and watery." The officer said he smelled a "strong odor" of alcohol coming from Toth.

The officer stated that Toth told him he only had one drink, but -- as first reported by Variety -- when given a Breathalyzer test, Toth's blood alcohol level was .139.

In Reese's defense maybe she played the celeb card because she had as much to drink as her hubby. Just sayin' ...
