Clay Shaw fails blink test when asked if he knew Oswald or Ferrie

[Henry Frost]

It's a well known psychological reaction that when some people try to evade the truth, their blink rate increases.  When Clay Shaw was asked if he knew Oswald or David Ferrie, his blink rate goes off the charts:

And no, he doesn't blink throughout the whole interview.

This doesn't mean he was guilty of any crime, but it might indicate he knew Oswald and/or Ferrie.

That's right, from the video:

Question: You have never yourself had any CIA connection?

Shaw: None whatsoever.

Question: Any association with the organization at all?

Shaw: No.

 

 

Here are a couple of links regarding deception and eye blink rate:

What I found interesting is that the blink rate does not increase during the actual deception, but rises shortly after.
