Would you trust this man, who is a former assistant principal of a high school? Trust him to supervise your children, manage your assets, or look after your daughter if she were married to him?

If this man were my client, I would advise him that he looks very “shady” due to his strong “five o’clock shadow.”  His off-white shirt makes it worse; a pure white shirt would have been better. White also suggests purity, hence innocence. His level of trustworthiness is very low. In addition, his tie is gaudy and shouts “going to Las Vegas” rather than to an office, for example. His shirt is ill-fitting and pulls away from his neck, creating a distraction. It can cause one to think that he is sloppy.

This is the photo of Wesley Earnest as he was convicted of killing his estranged wife, staging her death as a suicide. Earnest was very sloppy in the staged suicide. His wife was shot in the back of the head, an angle inconsistent with a suicide. The suicide note he left at his wife's side was not from either of the computers in her home. He told people he would be out of town on the day of the murder, yet he said in court he was home all day due to seasonal allergies. Earnest borrowed the truck of a friend to drive three hours to his wife’s home, and he installed four new tires before returning it. The tires were bought under an assumed name, and it is assumed that he was concerned that his vehicle may have left tracks outside his wife’s house. Everything about this staged suicide was as sloppy as the man’s appearance.  At a glance, he looks like a shady character.
