"Whenever I teach a class on how to administer a Polygraph test, I'm always asked if I've ever done one on a Psychopath. I tell them I have only done it once and it was on Michael McCormick... and he passed. Why? Because a Psychopath doesn't feel shame or guilt and you need those to fail the test." --The Wheat Ridge Police Department
"I'll give Michael credit for one thing, he knew how to play people and he did it better than anyone I've ever met." --Investigator Michael Gallagher
