I recently wrote a blog where I, along with countless others who saw Casey Anthony’s recent behavior in the courtroom felt shocked and appalled at Casey’s smiling and laughing behavior.
But now, an extremely reliable source, who was actually in the courtroom and who had first hand knowledge of the circumstances, informed me as to what really happen to cause Casey to smile and laugh at the end of the hearing when Casey’s lead attorney, Jose Baez left the table.
Evidently Casey’s laughter and smiling had nothing at all to do with her case or why she was in the courtroom. Instead, it had everything to do with a swearing-in ceremony one of Jose Baez’ law clerks becoming a full-fledged attorney at the end of the hearing.
Apparently at the end of the hearing lead , attorney Jose Baez surprised his law clerk by having Judge Perry swear the clerk in at the sidebar. Casey evidently knew nothing about this until the woman sitting next to her, who was actually another attorney in Baez’ office, informed her of what was happening and shared the good news with her.
Now it makes complete sense to me. Quite honesty I was appalled and confused when I suddenly saw Casey’s laughter and genuine cheek raised smiles. She looked genuinely happy for the first time and I wondered why. What caused her to suddenly change her courtroom demeanor?
Earlier in that blog I wrote how impressed I was that Casey was actually paying attention to others who were speaking in the courtroom. She actually looked at the person and appeared focused. She was not fidgeting or smiling. You can clearly see this in the photo above.
This was a dramatic transformation from the Casey we first saw two years ago when she first stepped foot into the courtroom. There is no doubt that this was due to the efforts of her attorney Jose Baez, who finally succeeded in teaching his client proper courtroom behavior, so that she could have every chance to get a fair trial.
NEW INSIGHT INTO CASEY
So when Jose left the table and Casey was left alone with someone else, I thought she reverted back to her old ways. But evidently she did not. Instead, she was genuinely interested in another person as you can see by her body language.
She looked like someone who was genuinely proud of another person. Apparently this particular law clerk has gone to the bat for Casey and has worked long hard hours helping with her defense for the past two years. She also knew how hard he worked for his personal goal of becoming a full-fledged attorney. So she was genuinely happy for him and it showed in her body language.
The body doesn’t lie! Having said that, it is essential to know in what context the body language and facial movements are made. In this case had I not been informed of the context that accounted for Casey’s sudden joy and laughter, when attorney Baez left the table, I would have assumed that she was not taking her presence in the courtroom seriously.
But now that I was informed as to the correct context as to what occurred, I can see that Casey’s laughter and smiles were understandable. It made a lot more sense to me.
Her genuine body language with genuine warm smile showed that Casey was actually outside of herself. She was thinking about another person other than herself. This is a very different side of Casey than we have ever seen.
If she did kill Caylee, too bad she wasn’t thinking of Caylee instead of herself. If jurors do happen to see a glimpse of this side of Casey- a more genuine side and a more human side, they may not look at her as a complete monster and may spare her life from lethal injection .

It was still very inappropriate for her being all smiles and giddy. She’s on trial for the murder of her own child and should not be smiling at all, but that will help to convict her and if it does, let her keep on smiling…
She just doesn’t get it or she is seriously being BS’d and thinks she’ll walk out a free woman. She would have to get plastic surgery for she won’t live a life without being taunted or the whispers of, that’s the woman who allegedly killed her child.
I await the day for this trial for Caylee deserves justice. Inmate Anthony could have just handed her over to her parents to raise while she lived a carefree life…but I do believe Inmate Anthony has malignant narcisistic tendencies and has a whole lot of baggage in that pea brain…and as grandma said, Casey hated Cindy more than she loved Caylee…that should be the prosecutions ending sentence…JMHO

When Baez said a couple of years ago “Casey Anthony is Public Enemy Number One” he had it right! Casey is the most hated defendant ever…(and I completely understand that). If we, as a society, went around “understanding” murderous Moms –we would all go down the tubes. Our biggest job, our most important job as people is to protect our children…all children. Everyone’s outrage is justified…but Casey is still “innocent” until proven guilty. Even when she is proven guilty, she will still be a person who was once a child herself. When I wonder about what happened to Casey to have (apparently) sent her into this impossibly black place it doesn’t mean I condone the neglect or murder of Caylee. ..I just always wonder why Casey didn’t run away, why Casey is so cold, why and how Casey could have done this. The fact that I wonder these things doesn’t mean I like her, but if I ever write even one “wondering” type question many people write me directly to indicate that I’m stupid and Casey is scum. Even if Casey did this and she is found guilty I do not think Casey is scum. I think she did something horrible, but I will always want to know what happened to her to make her snap.
This article is really great because it reinforces that ALL the facts are so important. We can’t just rely on what we see with our eyes only. A stool has three legs and if we take away one leg (facts) the stool falls over. This is how the trial will be (if there is one)…the jurors will need to consider the entire story….not just the one part that makes everyone happy about exacting their pound of flesh.
My hat is off to you, Dr. Glass, you set the record straight about Casey’s behavior. It is unpopular to view Casey as having any human qualities whatsoever. I’m glad you have the capacity to write something quasi positive about the most hated person in America! It says a lot about you.

I trust that they will. I don’t think Casey ‘snapped’ at all. She was lying, stealing, and cheating for years before she was arrested for the murder of her daughter, and was never held accountable for her behavior.

It will All come down to the actual Evidence which will be presented by both Sides.

Sorry, but no inconsistencies here…Same self centered & out of touch being. Tell me..has Casey EVER ONCE shown genuine remorse or mourning for little Caylee?! The answer is NO! Genuine reorse or mourning would HAVE to spill over during public appearance; And the only times she did express upset, was out of fear for her own self/fate when Caylee’s body WAS discovered. She never reported her missing cause she was counting on the body deteriorating enough to make it difficult to prove how she was murdered & also possibly to have all dna vaporize, which would prove there was NO ONE ELSE involved.

It still looks odd that all this took place when Baez’ back was to her. It looks odd that he did not make this announcement to her. For all the world to see, she was acting inappropriate in court – just like she acted inappropriate when her child was on the list of missing children.
I don’t see her as having genuine feelings towards others’ successes, starting with her own family. Caylee may have been murdered because her friends were coming into their own and being able to afford vacations that excluded her because she chose to not work… The people that did do well in her circle, she stole from.
She also does not strike me as being able to be grateful to this new attorney’s assistance – rather, she seems the type to EXPECT his hard work on her behalf… JMHO

But I wanted to be fair in light of the new information with which I was presented. She really did show interest outsie of herself as we had not yet seen this. Maybe it was because she had a crush on him as well, That is a possibility. Maybe it was becuase he worked so hard on her case and she was happy for him or maybe she was giddy about the fact that he was ambushed and it was a surprise for him to be suddenly and unexpectedly sworn in. Maybe he looked and appeared flustered and that was amuzing to Casey. I don;t know the answer to this as I did not see the whole picture.

We know from reading the literature on psychopathy that she has no sense of guilt, remorse or loyalty.

We know that this young man’s accomplishments mean nothing to her but her attorney used this opportunity to “rehabilitate” his client.
I felt sad when I saw Casey smiling in the pictures above. I would not want anyone to go through life without purpose, happiness and a measure of success. But in the case of Casey Anthony no matter how positive or negative her actions are they are alway grounded in deception and manipulation.
When I read this article I saw the inherent goodness in the writer-her egalitarian, hopeful and sincere reflections and insights about a smiling and happy Casey Anthony. Will Casey’s considerable acting skills spare her from a lethal injection? Will jurors, who will see her for long periods of time, come to know who the real Casey Anthony is?

I’m going to post here, a first for me. I disagree with the new assumption that Casey was all a’gigglin’ out of joy for someone else. I don’t see any difference between her usual giggliness and this latest bit. Her joy seems to come from the male gender and like her other moony eyes and giggles, there was a man involved.
I’ve seen nothing that in any way tells me Miss Anthony is all about anyone other than Miss Anthony.
Her demenor changes like her bedpartners used to, quickly and on whim. I think the real Miss Anthony you’re looking for will show up in court when her men parade in front of her and then and then alone will her true person shinewthrough. Yes, she seemed happy in court the other day but once again, there was a male involved and as we’ve seen all too often, Miss Anthony loves the men. Male approval seems to matter to her, male attention even more. I’d imagine Cindy and Casey Anthony had a few tugs-of-war over the men in the Anthony family. Lee, George, I’m betting both were pushed and pulled by the two.
I guess I’d feel more confident in the new improved Casey you seem to see, if she had been close to this man. If she’d known him well or if he in some way had been a vital part of her every day life. I just don’t think her giggles and joy went any deeper than his gender.

Dr. Glass, “If she did kill Caylee, too bad she wasn’t thinking of Caylee instead of herself. If jurors do happen to see a glimpse of this side of Casey- a more genuine side and a more human side, they may not look at her as a complete monster and may spare her life from lethal injection .
The reason that we’re all here reading your thoughts and the reason we read other blogs is because we believe Casey did kill Caylee. Up until this article you believed it too. Or you previously said you do. Yes I know innocent until proven guilty. Baby missing for 31 days. Grandmother forces the issue and reports baby has been missing for 31 days. Mother lies and obstructs LE from investigating the claim of a kidnapping of her baby. Come on! Enough already.
Did you Dr. Glass notice Casey’s bounding carotid pulse while she was smiling and giggling as she and Michelle Medina watched the young lawyer being sworn in by The Honorable Kudge Melving Perry? Her pulse was rapid and pulsating to the point that you can count it just by watching the video. I got a pulse of 96 at rest. That’s a rapid pulse for a young, slim 24 year old. Excited for her “friend”? We’ve seen her visitors logs. Sunshine laws! Yay! I don’t believe he’s seen her very often since she was incarcerated 26 months ago. Was she excited to the point of a rapid heart beat because she thinks that she should be the young attorney who is being sworn in? There was a lot more going on with Casey’s body language during this young man’s swearing in “ceremony” then you’ve shared. Casey’s mouth was dry and she tried to moisten her lips. She was not smiling and she was not involved throughout the swearing in. She was somewhere out in left field and had to be drawn back in by Michelle Medina. You’re the expert. If you watch her behavior again with the knowledge you have now, do you think you’d still come to the same conclusions? Were you too quick to correct previous assumptions that you’d had (where you didn’t initially have all of the info required) when you formed your opinion.

Genuine and human side? Since the duct tape was found wrapped around Caylee’s skull, I have seen this as a first degree murder case.
I really don’t think someone who is capable of murdering their own child has either a genuine or human side. Are you now seeing this a crime of passion? How could someone who perpetrated an act like that be capable of empathizing with someone else, not just on one particular day, but ever? Even now, where’s her guilt and remorse? Where’s her pity for Caylee who had to suffer the consequences of her rage? If she has the genuine ability to connect with people, why has she shown no history of it?
I like your articles, that’s why I found this one so surprising. It made absolutely no sense. I thought you taught me a lot. All this time you were warning us that her tears weren’t real, explaining how her crying was ritualistic. I would look at the screen, keeping your insights in mind and most of the time I agreed.
Did someone threaten to sue you or something so you felt the need to add a disclaimer? This is so far below the quality of observation I expect from you.

Dr Glass, I have to disagree that Casey has matured since being in jail….. If she has matured I would think she would have developed somewhat of conscience & would have decided to tell the truth as to what really happened. Also to show some respect towards her parents & most of all to show some repentness for what she did to her precious daughter. I have yet to see any maturity at all .

Conscience is developed early on in life. It is obvious to many that Casey’s alleged behavior was not guided by that “little inner voice”. Our conscience tells us not to do something, but what stops us completely from doing something wrong, hurtful or immoral, are the consequences we might face if we were caught. Casey has no “little voice” to guide her. When she threw Caylee into the swamp she never looked back.
She is aging -she is not maturing. According to Hare, her psychopathy is “maturing” (progressive).

Again, I honestly don’t get where you’re coming from here. Have you ever met a psychopath who just stopped being one and is suddenly able to step outside themselves and be happy for another person? It isn’t a phase that children go through.

No one is suggesting that Casey Anthony is not a psychopath. The gist of the article, imo, was Dr Glass’s insights and analysis relative to the behavior she observed in the courtroom. Casey was displaying behavior which anyone could see was dramatically different than what we have become accustomed to-after all, she is charged with Felony Murder. A smiling and happy defendant is not the norm. Why not write about it?
We all know that Casey’s behavior is choreographed – we know her handlers are telling her that she is maligned on the internet (on WordPress about a couple dozen people). But it is the citizens of Orlando and Florida in general who want to see her tried for this crime. The only venue they will ever have to show a different and “genuine” Casey is the courtroom.
Casey Anthony’s psychopathy does not have an “on and off button”. If it did perhaps Caylee would be alive today.

Actually, it wasn’t wholly Casey’s ‘observed’ behavior that Dr Glass ‘analyzed’ in this article. Dr Glass stated that she had ‘new information’ that brought her to her conclusion. Seems rather ambiguous and subjective, IMO. Respectfully,

Dr. Glass,
IT’s okay, it’s the ones who have decided her fate before hearing both sides that are doubting your
professional opinion. If anyone has any kind of doubt about this case one is stoned and ridiculed. Just look at most of the blogs, very biased to say the least. A lot like a bunch of inmature bullies in high
school.
That being said, I do agree with your insight about the jury, males will be the prime focus. What are your thoughts about Cindy Anthony and her lack of remorse? I never heard her cry out for the murderer to be caught and she even kicked those out of her home who were actually getting close to finding her which leads me to believe she knew all along where she was. That and she returned to work after smelling death and knowing her own granddaughter was missing? To me, the grandparents actions reek guilt. George, he in my opinion is less vocal. Is smooth and manipulative and tried to stay two steps infront of LE for a reason….Why are these two not arrested for aiding and abetting, lying and concealing evidence? After all, they had plenty of time to plant and or remove evidence, actually over a month…What is your take on why they have not been arrested as of yet…Thanks
