THERE are telling signs when someone is lying that you could discover and use in your daily life, says a lawyer.
Carrie Jernigan is a lawyer on TikTok with 1.2 million followers who shares her expertise when it comes to busting liars.

She says these simple hacks made her a good lawyer.
Jernigan believes that a liar has the same traits, and once you get those traits, it’s nearly impossible not to catch a lie.
In her TikTok video, Jernigan tells her audience that an obvious way to tell if someone is lying is if they repeat the question to you.
For example, if you think your partner is cheating on you and you say, “Are you cheating on me?” and they say, “Am I cheating on you? No!”
Jernigan says this is a clever way to give the liar a few seconds to stop while they come up with a lie.
Another way to tell if someone is lying is when they put way too much detail into their story.
It’s hard to remember a lot of details when telling a story, so if someone does this, they’re probably lying.
You may have done this yourself, such as when trying to get out of plans.
Jernigan recalls entering way too many details and excuses as to why she doesn’t want to go somewhere to make her made-up story seem more believable.
When someone tells the truth, they don’t feel the need to make up all these little details, because the truth is enough, she says.
In another videothe attorney, who received her JD from the University of Arkansas Law School according to her law group’s website, has revealed three reasons why she will never board a cruise ship.
In the first videoJernigan lists being the victim of a cruise ship crime as one of her biggest concerns.
“There is no police force, there is no governing body, there is no investigative agency that can help you,” she says.
Jernigan also mentions that determining the scene of the crime in relation to the nearest cruise ship port or country is a complex undertaking.
But sometimes, when a ship is 24 nautical miles off the coast of a country, it falls under international waters.
In that case, the country whose flag is flying on the ship – usually belonging to the Bahamas or Panama – governs.
