Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 3070: George Zimmerman's Latest Mugshot - Body Language Tell (PHOTOS)

Since he was acquitted for the death of Trayvon Martin in the summer of 2013, George Zimmerman's been arrested four times. He is alleged to have committed aggravated assault and domestic violence with a weapon in Lake Mary, Florida.

This is Zimmerman's latest mugshot. Note the very subtle pursing of his lips. His lip pursing is directed forward and is also tightened (some lip purses are loose). A forward lip purse is always made by someone who perceives themselves to be an alpha in the presence of a relative beta personality. So although Zimmerman is in the midst of getting his mugshot - he believes himself to be alpha relative to those police officers in his presence. Those who make a forward lip purse also are making clandestine plans and/or are in clandestine disagreement with those with whom they're interacting. They also believe they have a good chance of accomplishing their plan/acting upon their disagreement.

Zimmerman's eyelids are also opened slightly wider than baseline. His lower lids are also under mild-to-moderate tension in this moment. He is certainly not afraid. This very subtle nonverbal cluster-context - given his tightened forward lip purse and eyelid configuration - is highly consistent with suppressed anger and a plan with (what he believes to have) significant potential of success. Zimmerman believed at this moment he would shortly be free.

The former neighborhood watchman was arrested on 9 January 2014, released the next day on $5,000 bond and is expected back in court on 17 February 2015.

Nonverbal Communication Analysis No. 2611: George Zimmerman Arrested Again - The Body Language of His Mug Shot (VIDEO, PHOTO)

George Zimmerman was arrested again today. He was charged with felony aggravated assault - for allegedly pointing a shotgun in the face of his girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe. He was also charged with criminal mischief as well as domestic violence battery - both misdemeanors and in association with the same event.

Zimmerman's primary emotion being felt at the moment of today's mug shot is Anger. His Jaw is clenched and slightly forward in what is termed a "Jaw Jut". His nostrils are also mildly flared and his lower eyelids are mildly tensed. This nonverbal cluster is highly consistent with Anger.

Note also that Zimmerman's lips are thinned, foreshortened and mildly pursed. The tightening component is indicative of anger. The pursing portion however tells that George Zimmerman has clandestine disagreement. He is holding back at least some information in this moment. He also believes he has a relative alpha status and he also believes that he will be found innocent. This may sound ironic to some, but he has of course in the recent past been acquitted of murder of teenager Trayvon Martin and gained international notoriety in the process.
