Note that Statement Analysis is most accurate performed in the subject's original language. Here, however, we do get some statements we can analyze, in principle.
Original analysis of the alleged perpetrator showed that he was deceptive when he claimed to have no sexual contact with her.
The hotel maid who has accused former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn of trying to sexually assault her in a New York City hotel room has broken her public silence in an exclusive broadcast interview with ABC News.
"I want justice. I want him to go to jail," Nafissatou Diallo told ABC's Robin Roberts in an interview to air Monday on "Good Morning America" and "World News with Diane Sawyer" and Tuesday on "Nightline." "I want him to know that there is some places you cannot use your money, you cannot use your power when you do something like this."
Note the change from first person to 2nd person regarding money and power. With the switch, "money" and "power" should be carefully examined.
Strauss-Kahn may not go to jail. Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is considering whether to drop the charges amid "concerns" he has said he has about Diallo's credibility.
There were no restrictions on the interview and Diallo was asked about the instances that caused prosecutors to "reassess the strength of the case." Diallo acknowledged "mistakes," but also said they should not preclude Vance's office from going forward.
"God is my witness I'm telling the truth. From my heart. God Knows that. And he knows that," she said.
Note that "I'm telling the truth" means that in the very statement made, (present only) she is asserting that she is telling the truth, yet it is surrounded with deceptive phrases calling upon divinity. It is almost impossible to lie about a lie, so we would need to know the precise sentence that led her to say "I am telling the truth" for proper analysis.

The woman whose accusations upended the politics of France and the workings of one of the world's most prominent banking institutions was unequivocal in her assertion that Strauss-Kahn attacked her inside room 2806 at the Sofitel Hotel.
She reenacted moments of the alleged assault, at one point kneeling on the floor to describe how she says Strauss-Kahn tried to force her to commit a sex act.
"I never want to be in public but I have no choice," Diallo told ABC News, adding "Now, I have to be in public. I have to, for myself. I have to tell the truth."
Note that which is in the negative as important. Did she want to be in the public?
Defense attorneys for Strauss-Kahn categorically deny any criminal wrongdoing occurred. They have said what happened inside the hotel suite was consensual and, in a statement, they called Diallo's interview an "unseemly circus."
"Its obvious purpose is to inflame public opinion against a defendant in a pending criminal case," William Taylor and Benjamin Brafman wrote in a statement.
The Manhattan District Attorney's office declined to comment on the interview.
"This is a pending criminal case," DA spokeswoman Erin Duggan said. "To protect the integrity of the criminal justice system, the rights of the victim, and the rights of the accused, we will not discuss the facts or evidence in what remains an ongoing investigation."
The interview took place in the Manhattan office of Diallo's attorney, Kenneth Thompson. He told ABC News he plans to file a civil lawsuit against Strauss-Kahn on his client's behalf.
