Perjury with conviction; lawyers can use strategic tactics at trial to expose pathological liars on the witness stand

Article Abstract:

The key to identifying psychopathic liars, practiced at weaving their stories, is their excessive exaggeration and overacting. Tactics for exposing such witnesses include extreme care in examining their account of the crime, a tendency to alter or embellish the story, and a thorough examination of the witness's background. A psychopathic liar tends to have a history of deceit, and evidence of the deception can undermine witness credibility.
