Casey appeared in the courtroom on Day 28 acting much more humbled. She was more serious than we have ever seen her.
Her hair appeared more disheveled as she wore it in a bun. There was also much less grooming type behavior than we have seen previously.Perhaps she is much more concerned with her fate than with her looks.
She also appears to be experiencing a lot more tension in her body language as we can see int he photo above.In fact, look at the protruding muscle tension in her lower jaw. There is also tension around her neck area.
There is still a smile for Cheney and the happy greeting. But it doesn’t last a long as it lasted in her previous greeting towards him or with Jose Baez.
Reality has set in and Casey appears sobered about the possibilities of what may really happen to her. In her distorted thoughts there is no doubt that she felt she would be believed and that it would be easy to dismiss the prosecution’s claims. I am sure that she heard Cheney’s words resonating in her head that they would walk out of the courtroom arm in arm.
But all that changed when she saw the jaw dropping photos and heard her mother turn on her. I doubt Casey expected to see the gruesome reality of her actions. I doubt she expected to see a the skeleton of what was once Caylee. I doubt she expected to see the horrific looking skull with hair strands across the sockets and Caylee’s molar’s still attached to the skull, or see photos of Caylee’s little bones which were gnawed by animals.
No doubt she had the weekend to digest these photos. This is what I believe caused the change on her demeanor.
It will be interesting to see if she peps up and changes her demeanor and once again shows her cockiness when the defense begins presents it’s case. www.drlillianglass.com

I agree that Casey never once gave a thought as to what would happen to her daughter once deposited in those swampy woods. Being confronted with her nefarious deed may have finally brought a reality into her life, possibly for the very first time.
As human beings we all live through loss, for many many reasons. Casey never felt loss over her daughter but maybe, just maybe, she will feel loss. The loss of her very own life whether is is through lethal injection or LWOP.

I think reality might just be playing a part in her attitude as well, but I also think her attorneys have told her to be more stone faced. I noticed she no longer shakes her head no when she hears something she doesn’t want to hear, that came from her attorneys when they told her to cut that out. She looked like an idiot doing that. Also, I’ve noticed she only shows emotion when the jury is in the room, when the jury goes out, she looks like a wooden statue sitting there with no emotions. I think this is the real casey, no emotion whatsoever. When she heard the forensic evidence she got rattled , she knows she’s caught.
I was also thinking today when they were showing where little Caylee’s body was found. The wooded area is bigger than I thought at first. If a man had put that body there, he would have went deeper into the woods. This had to be a woman, she only went a few steps into the woods. She got scared , it was probably very late at night. Casey for sure did this..she might as well confess now.
I sure hope she takes the stand, but I don’t think Jose will ever let her do that. The truth is not in her. Anyway, how could she , with a straight face, be sworn in to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, lol.

Actually, I think that Casey dumped Caylee’s body immediately after the gas can confrontation with George, which would have been the middle of the day. She simply got a wake up call and got very afraid of getting caught. I think she drove in as far as her car would go (which wouldn’t have been very far with that vegetation) and dropped her right there (not wanting to handle her now smelly body). The thing is that with the flooding it isn’t possible to know if where they found her was precisely where she was dumped or just where the bag landed when there was no longer enough water for it to move around in.

When people see the notation of “medication” on an inmates commissary account, that could be anything over-the-counter, such as aspirin, tylenol, or antacid. Inmates that receive other types of medication, prescribed medicines, receive those through medical services, and those records are not part of their commissary.
No doubt this could be different for different states, but as far as I know, an inmates medical records are not open for public view. So if an inmate receives things like Valium, or other anti-anxiety or anti-psychotic meds, that is not going to be something they order up with their nacho dip.

What I find intriquing is that Casey sees these gruesome photos BEFORE the jury does and she by indication of witnesses in the courtroom, doesn’t really have much reaction to them…it’s only when the jury returns to the room and is shown them that Casey ‘reacts’…gets sick, teary, ect. Clearly an act for the jurors who she KNOWS has no access to media claiming that she has no reaction to seeing the photos outside their presence.
And has anyone noticed how much the female attorney on Casey’s team ‘resembles’ Cindy Anthony whilst comforting Casey? The hair…and always seems to be wearing green, a color we know Cindy to favor, a color she’s worn in infamous combative depositions. Methinks this is very deliberate. I think they want to ‘show’ Casey being able to be comforted by her mother…a weird fake loving mother daughter relationship so we don’t think Casey’s as hateful as she seems.

I am sure that Ms. Simms would much prefer to be practicing law than being ‘ a handler’ for Casey and my interpretations of Ms. Simms body language is that she has pretty much been told, “you will do this if you want to stay on the case,” and that tension really came out today in her protest about the PowerPoint.
But I have to disagree that Casey has been ‘humbled’ by seeing how Caylee’s bones were chewed, etc. Subdued, quieter, but that tiger has not changed her stripes, Dr. G. She was smirking today, smiling at her ‘man,’ Jose, and pretty much the same old, same old, from what I could see.
And rumors are racing around Orlando that there is going to be a mistrial, so perhaps that is why she was smirking… does she know something we don’t in her partnership with that weasel? I sincerely hope these are just people stirring up an already boiling pot because that would be a travesty – again – against little Caylee who deserves a judgment.

Dr Glass,
I really enjoyed hearing you on Websleuth.com!! –Especially hearing about how you got into the ‘Body Language’ field with you varied background!! Very interesting!!
I just wanted to touch on a couple of things in that insightful interview. I believe the attorney on the show was speaking about Baez NOT objecting to the skull ‘demonstration.’ If I’m not mistaken, he very much DID object to it. Maybe she was speaking specifically about the part of KC being in the photo, itself, because he sure but up a fuse about the demonstration itself and how predjudicial it was. Anyway, just as the attorney concluded she did not think it was something that would be grounds for a mistrial, Marsha Clark today said the very same thing.
Of course anyone can appeal on any issue, just as anyone can sue another person regarding just about anything, but whether or not an appeal would actually overturn a conviction, the odds are slim. I found both the attorney on the radio show and Ms. Clark to be of the same opinion because they each stated they are currently do work the on appealant level–these two opinions seem to override other attorneys opinions, for me, anyway!
In addition, I was thinking of asking you about the fact that I have found that KC, now, seems so un-attractive as a person. I have discolored this in my own life with relationships where someone whom I first find attractive,becomes less physically attrcative after I learn that he has poor moral judgement, for example. I just thought that was what was happening with KC. Learning how evil she is has made her ‘appear’ so unattractive. However, it was interesting to letarn from the radio show that criminals who have been incarcerated for a long time and particularly those in solitary confinement and those on death row do, actually, change both physically and emotionally.
One last thing, talking on the show about the length of her hair. Isn’t there an interpretation of someone hiding behind his/her hair, as we saw earlier in the trial with the bangs!
Just wanted to also thank you for turning me and others on to websleuth.com and their radio program I will certainly tune in again.

Though he is not on trial, I want the defense to ask George if he was there when Caylee supposedly drowned in the pool. His answer will seal the deal. If he says yes, Casey still has to answer to it. If she allowed him to convince her to hide the child’s death, she’s got some arrested development issues. But Baez and Mason say, she’s brilliant. They need to make up my mind.

The only thing that makes me unsure of what I’m thinking, is that day Cindy testified for the first time and Casey wept…. But why did she weep? Was it because of all the talk about Cindy’s love for Caylee? We know she has a jealous bone and hates (or appears to hate) when the subject is Caylee. She also has shown contempt for the fact that Cindy mothered Caylee and referred to her as her own, teasing Casey about Caylee calling her mommy.

Grandma16, if you watch that scene you can read her lips saying that for 3 years Cindy didn’t cry for Caylee and now she’s doing this or something along those lines. I’d need to go back and watch it again. She was furious with her mother for crying on the stand like that, and Cindy’s refusal to even look at her didn’t help either. When Cindy said I love you to Casey my opinion is that she gave Cindy a “your full of $*&^” kind of look. I think Casey is very angry that Cindy didn’t get on the stand and lie for her, but tried to be honest. I don’t think Cindy was as honest as she should have been, but I imagine its not easy when this is your child. Some people just aren’t that strong. I also see Cindy and Casey’s relationship as a constant tug of war. One minute Cindy is supportive and loving and proud, the next she’s angry, and hurtful. This has to make Casey very upset. I have a sister that says the worst things to me, then a few days later shows up and acts as if nothing ever happened. Its not easy dealing with people like that and its a relationship that is always filled with drama. I see Cindy and Casey as a true love/hate relationship that they both play their parts in. Cindy hurt Casey so when Cindy tries to make up for it later, Casey hurts Cindy. I have a hard time with the whole family dynamic, but I don’t think George was involved in any way. I think he knew from the minute he came home and the police were there that Caylee was dead and that Casey was responsible. I honestly think that Cindy doesn’t like Casey and is always one extreme or the other in how to act or treat her. I think Cindy feels duty bound to put on an act of being a loving, caring mother, but I don’t think she feels it one bit. I also believe that Cindy, out of guilt, would send George down the river to save Casey. This is just my opinion though, based on my own life experiences.

I thought maybe that Cindy mouthed “I love you” to Casey to say…. ” sorry, I had to tell the truth even though it’s going to help convict you ” I don’t know, nothing surprises me anymore about this case.

Exactly my thoughts. The jurors seeing this would sympathize with Cindy and that would save Casey from the dp. However, would her parents want to see her scott free and able to have free access to them? Not likely.

I agree with that plus she is still Cindy’s daughter, that will never change.

No disrespect intended toward the Anthony family (They’ve been through hell) but I noticed as I’ve followed this case that Cindy, George and Casey use their faces to communicate. It’s been said the parents are on meds now and it seems they’ve stopped doing the faces. But Casey is still doing it. She’s talking up a storm with her expressions. After her mother mouthed the words, I LOVE YOU, she did the eyebrow raising thing. I can’t help but think she and her parents are in on this defense together.
I have thought that perhaps George was told he would suffer no legal punishment if he went along with it. After all, he isn’t on trial, she is. But, it’s possible since they all lie very well. It stands to reason because otherwise Cindy and George appear to be under the guns of both the defense lawyers and the state lawyers. That little message from Cindy to Casey seems to be a give away. I’m going to watch Baez a little closer when he’s talking to the Anthony’s. Some thing’s hinky there.

Annie123 i bet you are so right; Cindy mouthed i love you so Casey will write her a letter so ma can dbl cross her. Brilliant!
Heather i’ve also wondered why the Judge always says to not discuss the case amongst yourselves to the jurors. I was on a jury once and that’s all we did, we thought we were supposed to compare notes and get each others take on the evidence and testimony. And it’s a good thing we did because one guy started right off the first day saying “ya, i’m sure you all agree with me he’s guilty as hell” That really scared me, made me sit up and listen and notice everything cuz i sure didn’t want to send an innocent man to prison if he wasn’t guilty. His words made me feel even more responsible and i wasn’t going to let that jerky juror think he could call it on the first day of the trial.

Dr. Glass has analyzed the whole Cindy-mouthing-I-love-you exchange here:

I agree with Dr. Glass that it is a classic example of Casy’s manipulation. The first time Cindy testifies, Casey has a hissy fit that her mom didn’t look at her. So this time, Cindy looks over and mouths “I love you”, and is Casey pleased? grateful? No – she gives Cindy the body language equivalent of a teenager’s most dismissive response, “WTF? Whatever!”.

As to Casey’s vapid demeanor, I attribute it to the fact that if Casy isn’t acting, she has no idea how to act.
Her whole identity is to put on the charm and lie in order to elevate her status and gain acceptance by others. She’s aware that she can’t do that in court, so what has she got left? She’s got nothin’!
