Casey Nods Pouts Looks Teary Eyed During Dr. Spitz’s Testimony. Doesn’t Look at Skull Yet Shows No Emotion

When Casey arrived the courtroom on Day 33, she sat extremely close to Cheney Mason. She leaned over as they huddled for quite a while as Mason spoke with his hand over his mouth. She  looked extremely relaxed and confident. As they spoke so closely, I imagined that Mason must have told Casey that the witness they would bring on who  would be extremely favorable for Casey’s defense

So when I saw that the defense  brought   forensic pathologist for over 56 years who did over 60,000 autopsies Dr. Spitz I now understood why Mason and Casey  were huddled and why Casey was feeling so  confident. He was their most credible witness  defense had  used to date.

As Dr. Spitz spoke words which seemed to be in Casey’s favor, Casey shook her head yes. She protruded her lower jaw and her devil looking . tension horns on the sides of her head became more prominent . Jeff Ashton tried to impeach the doctor. with his media experience  Personally I thought  it made the doctor look better. Dr. G has her own TV show and she obviously craves the limelight as well.

Ashton  also talked about the doctor’s  high profiles from Phil Spector to OJ, I thought  it made him seem even more credible.He accused him of breaking the skull , which I believe  did not make Ashton look good. Ashton tried to press him on the sediment issue and the doctor stuck to his guns.

During the cross examination, the doctor held his own. Casey was mesmerized and barely moved as he spoke.

When the photo of Casey’s skull and hair was shown, Casey turned away and refused to look at it. She does not  move. She does not cry and does not seem upset. Even though Casey is not looking at the photo, she is listening to the graphic testimony, she is not budging. She has no reaction. This is very significant. Once again it supports my theory that she looks at this trial as though it belongs to someone else and not to her.

Casey also holds her head up with her fist which indicates anger on her part. She is angry that she has to listen to this  testimony about Caylee’s skull. She received no TLC from attorney Simms.According ti Kathi Belich of WFTV,  one juror was  laughing at Dr. Spitz’s theory about someone putting duct tape on the skull .This does not look very good.

Casey is hiding her mouth  as she hears his ridiculous hypothesis that others placed the duct tape on Caylee’s skull.  Subconsciously she is saying that his testimony sounds far fetched with someone else putting the tape over the skull. Apparently another juror according to Kathi Bellich, was seen  smirking during the doctor’s testimony.  cross examination took place. This looks even worse for Casey. Juror’s have seen Casey as a blamer (blaming her father and her mother and Lee). as a blamer .
Now when they see her expert as a blamer (blaming Dr. G as doing a shoddy autopsy,  blaming the examiners of staging the scene and blaming someone else for putting the duct tape on Caylee’s skull.  after the body decomposed) it looks very bad.
When the jury leaves, Casey begins her self grooming routine as she fixes her pants and her top.he was also seen patting her hair on the sides. She was not all smiles and seemed subdued. Maybe she picked up those cues from her defense team who knows things did not go well for them that morning.

  2. I for one think Ashton did an excellent job of discrediting Dr. Spitz. He made him seem like a media hungry, past retiring, bitter Dr. who was only testifying against Dr. G because 1. she did not let him do the autopsy with her. Even Dr. Spitz, who says he did remove the skull still wasn’t able to determine the cause, and everyone has testified that at the time of the discovery of little Caylee, if she drowned it would not have been able to be determined due to the decompensation of the body. Ashton did his job and he is never going to let any trial participant, no matter how renowned, taint the facts of the case to prevent justice for Caylee. And to think this renowned Dr. ended his testimony that everyone had staged this death and was a part of a conspiracy is sickening. That is why Ashton ended his cross examination, he was not going to be a part of that circus show. I am ashamed by the dishonesty of the defense and the levels they will stoop to to uphold a lie. How many more lives are they going to ruin to spare the life of someone that has no regard for any human being on this earth? Now I hear they are trying to depose a behavioral analyst to talk about why Casey kept quiet for a month. Unless she personally spoke to Casey it should have no value. Baez has not addressed 1 openining statement he made with unobliterated “truth and facts” and this jury is not stupid, they will come to know that.

    3. Exactly. Within a minute on cross, I think Dr. Spitz lost credibility when he admitted he didn’t know he had BROKEN the skull with his precious ‘opening’ of it….He said, “I broke it?” Even if it was just a crack, it should have been noted and photographed as NOT part of the crime. Shouldn’t he at least have remembered?
      That showed me he wasn’t paying much attention to his supposed autopsy, and that he must have a motive. The fact that he conveniently ‘forgot’ all the t.v. interviews he’d given…OMG. The fact that he didn’t test the supposed ‘brain dust’, and then proclaimed it so, just ‘believe him’? To me, THAT’S a ‘shoddy autopsy.’

  4. “Mason must have told Casey that the witness would be extremely favorable for Casey’s defense.” That is a stretch even after the fact. We do not know what attorney and client discussed and after the fact we know that this witness did not summarize his findings and Mr Baez disobeyed a standing court order not to “ambush” anyone nor sabatage his client’s right to a fair trial. It is unfair to the defendant as well as the prosecutors. This “extremely favorable” witness was not even allowed to remain on the stand. Mr Mason did not even have an opportunity to read what he had to say because teh witness never wrote down his findings or opinions!!

    Dr Spitz was not a credible witness nor would he discuss anything that would give this defendant “a reason to be confident”. If we stand in as a juror and give her the presumption of innocence, how could discussing his wild theory of when, where, how and why the duct tape was applied be “encouraging”? “Dr Spitz spoke words which seemed to be in Casey’s favor.” This is a hidious statement. Are we to assume by this incredibly insensitive remark to discount the pain and suffering of the victim? How could the death of her child and the discussion of the remains, no matter what side one is on, “encourage” or make anyone feel “confident? We cannot adequately describe this defendant unless and until we have examined her in relation to her behavior. She reacts. She is oriented to time and place and she is clearly not engaging in her trial “as a third person”. She is center stage-NUMERO UNO. The one and only person charged with intentionally and deliberately taking the life of her child. She is the only one who knows how Casey died. Caylee Marie Anthony was ba and while she was enjoying her movie with Tony L, she was called HOME.

    One cannot separate the facts from the defendant. She has all the answers. Once we all understand that than a clearer analysis of the trial proceedings will bring new insights and the realization that we are discussing a very selfish and dangerous person who is listening to each and every word.

      2. Of course we know the truth. The autopsy report that was issued was clear about her death. We know what happened and the prosecutors have alleged that this victim died as a result of suffocation. You seem to jump to conclusions and had you read what I wrote it would be patently clear how she died. I have written this before on this blog and although no one reads my long posts I don’t mince words nor would it be my intention to harm or alarm someone who reads here. I have left that clue a couple of times on this blog but haven’t the heart to type it out.

        What comes out of her mouth are lies but what is unspoken and contrived will lead any reasonable person to come to a logical explanation about what actually happened. Homicidal psychopaths get a great deal of pleasure when they think they are “duping” the experts. The experts know but since they weren’t there how can they say with certainty what happened? Casey Anthony is the only one who knows what she did and the experts are attempting to figure out how she died not necessarily who did it. Suffice to say that Casey probably believes she had absolutely nothing to fear when she disposed of her child’s body. She did not dispose of her remains. Figure it out from there Liz.

From what legal analyst have to say, they could have stopped at the drowning and brought forward a couple of forensic psychiatrists to pull together her actions after the fact. In January of 2009 I opined that Casey “absolved” herself of murder because in her own mind and heart she kissed her goodbye (lit.or fig) when she was alive.

Casey has had different looks throughout the 3 years. I too find it revelaing when she flirts with Jose Baez., acts childish next to her female attorney. It’s like she forgets she’s on trial for her life. Yesterday she raised her eyebrows and gave a little approval with her eyes to Cheney Mason before he began. She probably is looking to him as a father/grandfather type figure. Casey is a true manipulator of people like many charming sociopaths, and yes she is a user and a blamer. also thought that one day when she cried and couldn’tr bear to look at anything dealing with Caylee’s remians is that maybe more from guilt than grief. How much is the jury buying into her performance? P.S. Love Ashton, always feisty and a good speaker.

    It is very obvious that Spitz’ best days are behind him and he has no right to expound about this case in interviews or anywhere else…he didn’t know Caylee’s name! Spitz referred to the case several times as “high profile”. Ashton was right to point out how Spitz likes the “high profile” case. Why should this case would be handled any different from any other? Ashton showed Spitz to be money/fame whore who will say what he was paid to say. The fact that Spitz was chosen for any “plum” tv appearances will not rehabilitate the bumbling performance he provided on the witness stand today.

She does have some very interesting affectations and one can clearly see that she has steadfastly clung to her clothes and even though she has been incarcerated for three years and looking at the possibility of spending the rest of her natural life behind bars, it doesn’t seem to inhibit her ability to “win” jurors over by buffing out her chest when it matter most.

First of all if she IS guilty she is a very sick girl and her actions are completely UNEXPLAINABLE vs a normal persons reactions. IF she is NOT guility..then imagine YOURSELF sitting there FIRST accused and fighting for YOUR LIFE. SECOND, remembering the loving child that she gave birth to, sat up nights with, held in her arms and NOW has to look at a skull and listen to how she was dismembered and Animals chewing on her body. YOU had better believe one thing EITHER way she HAS to act like she is watching this happen to someone else. I have spoken to numerous people about her actions and MANY of them went on to say the absolute CRAZY out of character things that they did when they lost a person they loved. AND they all as I myself can contest to go through the motions like they are in a fog and barely remember years later what they did, who they spoke to for months into their ordeal. So to say that her behavior was CRAZY! Yes it was, plain and simple. But she is not alone in her behavior, WHAT IS unexplainable is the fact that she did not report it for 31 days.

    2. Dear Cheryl,

      Cheryl, because you said “AND so far after listening to ALL of the testimony I do believe George Anthony was a HUGE player in this…” you cannot be believed about anything else you say. There has been no testimony under oath that George did anything. Baez fooled you into thinking that. However, George did testify, under oath, that he had nothing to do with Caylee’s death or Casey’s claimed “molestation for lies.” Cheryl, please no more yelling –and please try to pay attention to testimony and facts. Until you hear any thing from the witness stand from Casey’s mouth, you should let go of your theories or keep them to yourself. I hope you are never on a jury unless you understand this concept.

  21. I also question whether or not Dr. Glass watch the full testimony today by Dr. Spitz. Her statements that Dr. Spitz “held his own” during cross-examination where not what I saw today at all. As far as Dr. Glass’s statement about Dr. “G” “craves limelight as well”, because she has a television show, what? That statement is a leap. Dr. Spitz looks more credible because he was an expert witness for the O.J. Simpson trial and the Phil Spector trial? How about Dr. Spitz is the expert witness only for the truly hopeless defendant. Why is Dr. Glass defending Dr. Spitz when clearly he has not the sense to know when he should retire. Does Dr. Glass have some issue with Dr. G?

So lets see, that would be Spitz, Lee, & Baden. At some-point it becomes clear to everyone when you have lost your ability to be reasonable and your newfound expertise is in saying whatever brings you the most money and fame!

Dr Glass, I respect your opinion when it comes to reading body language, I did not see you refer to that. Are you saying his body language and his tone was consistent with truth?

First of all…you can look into an empty skull several ways…you would not have to cut the top off to look inside…and as far as the sediment…it was under water and in dirt and mud…he claims it was brain tissue and not dirt or mud…however…he said he did not test the sediment to prove it was brain tissue..he just says it is…but after spending all those months under water and in dirt….why didn’t HE test it to prove or disprove it was brain tissue or just plain mud?

      All these ridiculous theories of duct tape flying off of posters and into a thickly wooded palmetto swamp or being stuck onto a skeleton after months to hold the jaw in place are pointless when it comes to considering the total picture.

      Forget the duct tape. Pretend it was never found.
      You still have a toddler, stuffed into three garbage bags and left in the swamp near her family home.

      Forget the pool, the cover-up by insane people, and all the mis-information by the entire family.
      You still have a little girl, missing for 31 days, never reported as gone all during that time by her mother, who was apparently partying and not much else.

      Let us forget all the people who testified to a ‘stinky car,’ and all those who didn’t smell anything..
      Little Caylee disappeared and her mother NEVER called anyone for help in finding her.

      And forget about the bugs, the pigs in trunks, the fame-seeking experts who all hope to garner more for themselves than being truly committed to the cause of discovering the truth.

      There was a little girl who got into the car with her mother… and never came home again.
      This was not an accident that was covered up. And there was only one person who benefitted from not having to have her around any more.

He revealed that he was familiar with very little of the background of the case, that he has not kept up with modern technology, that his pride was wounded because he was not allowed to participate in the original autopsy, that he has developed forgetfulness that impacts his ability to be useful in a case like this, that he had jumped to conclusions (he saw the family had a pool, so she likely drowned), and the topper- his conclusion that someone found the skeletal remains and replaced the jawbone in the anatomically correct position, taping it in place with duct tape and somehow keeping the hair mat in the right position- WTH? And then accusing the ME of staging the scene? accusing Dr. G of a “shoddy” autopsy because she didn’t needlessly saw the skull in half? The man has a long and distinguished career but this was not his finest hour and likely will be his last participation in a case.

    Jeff Aston does his job well,as does Linda,and Mr George.They put for a very clean decent side for the state in seeking Justice for Caylee the child victum-the only victum who deserves justice.What Jeff Aston,LDB,an Mr George are seeking-justice for a child vctum.

    The defence has had the gang of high profile attys come running,then hall ass,when they in sure saw there is NO defence in this case.All the puzzle pieces when put together-screams Casey took Caylees life from her,in one form or mutable ways.We have DT when has anyone ever seen a pool accidental drown victum Triple bagged,DTaped and throwed away like trash,near the home,in a drowning accident.NO body to date that im aware of,and im in my 50s.Have lived through a child in the family beng murdered,have been through the trials 2 of them to get a conviction

    .This defence team,not Baezs only because its a team,seems to be a crew of the last remeinebs of who would take,and stay on the case for trial..I for one have never saw a case where so many attys skipped out,then have been seen all over the air ways spinning a defence(so to speak).If they believe what they have been saying ,seems each would have stayed and fought for the accused.Also some joined pro bono,lol then used money as an issue for leaving if i remember correctly.Publicitys,new media consultent shows by some,one a why to aadvertize her book she was already writing-Angle of death, even possiblely having their names in books,and movies after this trial for being involved a short time.

    .These high profile bunch that took part at one time,and even now.Are part of this case trial for what will come fore them only through being part of it-that simple makes me sick.I would think that silence untill a trial is over by those involed at one time,even now shouldstand because of decency,not because a gag order would have to be in place.DR Spits i saw the video link posted was out of order doing that knowing he would be called as a expert whitness in a weeks time-sickning to say the least,on his part.I did not know,attys,experts could go on air,and al but try ths case,while its going on–disgusting to say the least.I respect the prosicution,as well as The decetives as they have NOT been seen-but quietly gather evidence,and put together a case against the accused.

    But the lone 3 seeking justice for this precious child who lost her life way too soon,have remained silent,except while fighting for her to receve justice.Say what you will about Mr Aston.Hes smart,and will not stand if he can discredit a spinner,fabracator,liar on the stand.He is fighting for Caylee Marie….Thank God some one is in that court room along with hs team.

    Now for Dr G she explained that everything around a child being found dead,in the shape this one was-and how she was repared for dumping (triple bagged/d tape) alone with Caylee being solely in the care at the moment Casey left with Caylee in That CAR,when decomp,and cloroform has been detected paintsed a picture along with how she detemined it was a homiced.I went back an looked at other child murder case,and even some accidents.They was Caylee was left hidden in tose woods scream murder dumping of a body-a tiny darling childs body.When DR G tested the skull,im sure she also looked at the inside of the skull with out having to saw cut it open.Many tools possible have been created for such sence Dr Spits was in his role as a A examiner. DR G. may even have the tool like a specilist uses when running a light with tiny video up our butts when examineing a colon,and taking byopsys-or down ones throat to the stomach to check for ulsers,orther problems.–New tools are being created all the time in helping DR take a look at the insides of humans-so DR G could have easly used a tool like i just described to look inside the skull-but with light,magnified their are opening in the skull where on can see inside,if in the shape Caylees skull was.I know this is long-forgive me-trying to say what my op is.

    Dr Spits even made implacation that those at the crime scene,and eve DR Gs helpers fixed Caylees har to set/stage a scene–Maybe hes speaking from something he has do in life as an examiner-but i do not believe when those at the crime scene found this tiny childs skull,and remaine site-that they had it in their minds to stage anything-it was probable a sad,tegic experence for them all,this being a childs remains.I do not believe DR G a highly educated,long tme working in her field would ever stage remains to set a different seen.Dr Spits was just to old,and out of his field to long.If he testified in other high profile case like this-Shame if he did the job, like he did in this case.Laughable his theory about someone picking the skull up and then adding d tape..Casey we all know from whatching her for three yrs.She icould care less about her child.She case for self only.She is dangerous

  50. Dr. Glass,
    “Personally I thought it made the doctor look better. Dr. G has her own TV show and she obviously craves the limelight as well.” Well, thank goodness, you started paying attention after that totally unfounded, thoughtless remark, Dr. Glass. And, even though your editing skills stills leave much to be desired, you finally completely woke up and said, “Maybe (when she started her self-grroming and became subdued) she picked up those cues from her defense team who knows things did not go well for them that morning.”

    Your idea that Casey knew what was in the jurors’ minds with all that “blamer” stuff, also seem to be based upon your body lang. expertise that covering her mouth showed she also was hiding a smirk at that “ridiculous hypothesis that others placed the duct tape on Caylee’s skull.” I’m not so sure it was about blaming or duct tape, but simply that Dr. Spitz looked foolish and she couldn’t help smirking. She probably likes a good smirk at the expense of others – who are never as clever as she thinks she is.

  51. What is wrong with you people on here……That old man did not even remember half of what he was talking about…..I find it interesting that what he did for his investigation was go out to a scene which has been stripped and then to the Anthony house…..Look at a pool (which if I was Ashton….would have asked him how she got in the pool)……..and listen to the defendants parents and defense……They clearly wanted him to look at this to make a story up that fits……What does that old man have to loose……HE IS 85 YRS OLD…He probably thinks she is a pretty girl and does not care if she killed that baby……He was on the Phil Spector case with Linda Kenny Baden as well as the OJ case…..As well was Dr Henry Lee…..They did this same dirty crap on those cases……Phil “ugly” Spector killed that woman….But do any of these game players care…. NO…….Ask any of them a question and you get a answer out of left field that has nothing to with anything…..Just like little Miss Priss….Yuri..”Why did you tell us Zanny lived at a ole folks home”…….Casey….”Because I saw her there before”…..Does this make sense ….Jose set out (thanks to Mr Pipitone) to try and make Casey famous so a jury would let her go…..Only us lay people are not buying into their crap…..That ole geezer made…. No Sense….you can tell he made the crap up……Jose thinks just because he was world known it would impress the jury….”Unfortunaltly Mr Spitz was taking a nap….when Baez told him what to say…….”The old dog aint what he used to be”.

  52. To Joan: You bettcha LKBaden suggested Dr. Spitz, she was on the Spector trial when he was called for defense. When Judge Perry questioned Dr. Tim H. as to whom on the defense team called him when Caylee was found, LKB was on the defense team at that point. Baez may have called him personally but there’s no doubt in my mind at the instruction of LKB. Now she has conveniently quit the team. To Dr. Glass: Ashton may have been fussed at by Judge Perry but not NEARLY anything as bad as Baez got for his antics and rightfully so. Baez should be admonished by the bar for his antics.

  53. The main thing I noticed out of Saturday’s testimony was that when Jeff Ashton made the comment to Spitz that Dr G could see inside through the hole in the bottom of the skull and the camera went to Casey and she laughed then quickly covered her mouth and turned her head.

    Sadly I think men like Spitz have discovered they can play the saviour on the white charger and come riding into court and save the day. Sadly in his case however, he now just appears to be a doddering old man who can’t keep facts straight and does not like his opinions to be questioned as he told Jeff Ashton, you made me mad.

  54. Hey Doc did we watch the same Cross X?

    1. Caught him flat out lying that it’s protocol to cut open an empty skull thus proved he unnecessarily sawed open the child’s skull when he could’ve just looked inside from the bottom then he further desecrated the body by accidentally cracking her skull while sawing. Very sad & didn’t have to happen.
    2. He said there was “brain dust” in the empty skull despite it being tossed around in a flooded swamp for 6 months and oops he never tested the supposed “brain dust”.
    3. He said body decomposed on left side despite only receiving skeletal remains to examine. Oh wait, it was because he found “brain dust” inside the left side of skull.
    3. He said someone swam & crawled thru a swamp to perfectly attach the jawbone to the bare skull with 2 not 3 pcs duct tape; he didn’t know there were 4 pcs tape at scene.
    4. He said same person who attached tape also attached the hair to the bare skull with adipocere (grave wax).
    5. He admitted not knowing all necessary details surrounding the child’s death to be able to make a determination of manner/cause, in fact he said the babysitter took her.
    .
    And that wasn’t all, he falsely maligned Dr G who is respected & trusted …

    Dr G will end his career in rebuttal…Caylee has great lawyers!

  56. Dr. Glass, with all due respect, I must say that I am shocked and disappointed at your observance of Dr. Spitz and your reference to Dr. G. craving the limelight. I wonder if you even watched the trial because of your odd conclusion. This is the first time I completely disagree with you. I happen to know Dr. G., and have never ever seen any indication of being a media whore. As far as Dr. Spitz is concerned, I think those that actually WATCHED his testimony were convinced that he was confused and should not have been put on the stand.

  58. All of the bullsh*ttin’ against Kim for expressing her opinion is ridiculous and because Dr. Glass, one whom I once admired and respected, doesn’t put a stop to it I am no longer a subscriber. What a bunch of friggin hypocrits who can gang up on Kim but yet says not a thing to the others who have denigrated and insulted the good doctor! I guess Dr. Glass needs the stroking since she says nothing. Perhaps her silence means she is insecure. She surely cares not for a few who express their concern for her and the perception of professionalism. Yes, for her. I know Kim and she does not in the least hate Dr. Glass. This was a place where people could express their opinion even opposite of Dr. Glass and she was OK with it but I guess that has changed. Its about Caylee, not Kim, TYVM!

  59. Anonymous, So who dumped the body in your opinion? I’m surprised that nobody has brought it up when you said
    “Suffice to say that Casey probably believes she had absolutely nothing to fear when she disposed of her child’s body. She did not dispose of her remains. Figure it out from there Liz.”
    I’m not Liz but i’m wondering what you’re implying or who you believe dumped Caylee?

    1. Hi Mari,

      I think what Anon was trying to say is that Casey disposed Caylee’s “body” before it completely decomposed (like in the bloat stage) instead of waiting and disposing her “remains” at a later time (where Caylee’s body was in the active/advanced/ or dry skeleton stage). So I conclude that Anon believes (and I concur) that only one person could be responsible for Caylee’s final resting place — “Mommy Dearest.”

      Anon, if I got it wrong, please let me know…:-)

      1. Ro-Yes, I would agree that the defendant placed the body (not the remains) in the trunk. In a week or so Mr Ashton will make it clear to jurors. This precious victim and her family will finally know why she died-not necessarily when.

    2. Mari-Casey did. She did not dispose of her “remains” -she placed her body in the trunk. Her “remains were found in a heavily wooded swampy area 14 doors down from the victim’s home.” I left a clue re: COD but I didn’t anticipate the response from Liz-“What the hell are you talking about”, etc. A tad over the top for me. The whole discussion about how Caylee died is heartbreaking to all of us and I am sure perhaps to Dr G, et al. We just have to wait and listen to Mr Ashton tell us what he believes happened. His closing argument will be based on what Dr G. told him prior to announcing that the child was a homicide victim.

  60. Wow I did not know about this blog and just stumbled across it. I have to say I agree somewhat with Dr. Glass about G.Ashton mentioning Dr.Spitz high profile cases. I didn’t like it but I guess G.Ashton felt he needed to bring it to the jurors attention since Dr.Spitz lied about his media interviews. I however don’t think it made G.Ashton lose face with the jury. I don’t think Dr.Spitz did well under cross. He seemed bumbling, and self important to me. As if he was right ,not based on evidence but simply because he said so. The longer he rambled, the more incompetent he seemed to me. I think the prosecution nailed him! I am concerned though because I wonder, simply because Dr.Spitz has so much experience, if valuable testimony and information was lost, in the bumbling and general confusion? What do you all think?

    Baez seems to be breaking rules that will come back to haunt him after the trial is over. Casey’s lies have hurt so many innocent people that there will be no sympathy for her. She has tried from the beginning to implicate so many innocent people and now this latest with the telephone calls to george, that guy is probably gonna file a lawsuit. Baez had to know this guy did not have that phone in 2008.
