Oscar Pistorius's trial for the murder of Reeva Steenkamp took an unexpected and bizarre turn today.
Today a former roommate of Steenkamp's - Ms. Kim Myers accused (via an attorney) the Blade Runner of allegedly saying, "How do you sleep at night?" to her during the trial. The remark was described as being delivered "in a very sinister way" and was alleged to have been over-heard by a journalist.

This classic unilateral elevated forehead and eyebrow is a classic nonverbal tell for disbelief.
What other body language modifiers are present in this moment which amplifies Oscar's incredulity?
Mr. Pistorius's jaw clench in this moment is a clear and highly characteristic signal of anger.
