Doctor Conrad Murray is pictured here at his hearing from earlier today. He received a sentenced of four years for involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson. This image was captured just prior to his sentencing. His interlaced and straightened fingers are strong indicators of anxiety (Navarro). Of course, we know the context here - and the idea that Dr. Murray is nervous is not a surprise. While his face does not show dramatic signals of anxiety, if you look close you can see nostril flaring. In your everyday life, how often do you miss these subtle but important nonverbal signals?
