I'm looking at most of the cases that you have mentioned - although for some of them it is difficult to find footage. Preliminary indications are that there are clusters of behaviour that distinguish false appealers from real appealers, and that there are people that are able to do this reliably. I hope to establish a model of behaviours that is predictive of deception in this situation.
