0:05.3	And Koeberger, of course, tells lies, there's a lot of emotion, whether it's empty emotion,
0:11.6	whatever it is in his eyes.
0:12.6	But in my studies of body language, when someone is being truthful, their eyes will get larger.
0:21.3	The pupils will get larger.
0:22.9	When someone's lying, they will get very small.
0:26.1	Thus comes the term, he had beady eyes.
0:28.7	You know, because a person lying, their pupils get smaller.
0:31.7	But for an interviewer, an interrogator, to get so close as to be able to see the pupils. That's not really, I don't know,
