The above photo reveals Cindy and George Anthony’s body language and facial expressions as their immediate response to the question by NBC reporter Carey Sanders “Does that mean that you have considered the possibility that your daughter Casey killed Caylee? That Casey killed Caylee?”
GEORGE AND CINDY’S BODY LANGUAGE DON’T LIE
Even though they talk the talk and try to defend their daughter Case , body language wise George and Cindy Anthony are not walking the walk . Both George and Cindy Anthony’s facial expressions appeared to leak out the truth about how they really feel about Casey murdering Caylee when they were asked blunt and to the core questions by NBC’s Carey Sanders.
George’s resigned bowed head and Cindy’s shut eyes and pursed lips say that they most likely may know the truth deep down as to what Casey may have done to Caylee.
When George stammers I don’t I don’t want to believe that my daughter hurt her daughter and then takes a big sigh and he looks as if he is about to cry as he looks in Cindy’s direction, to me it says it all. It says that he feels the pain as he knows very well what may have happened to Caylee.
But before George showed signals of being genuine and knowing the truth, George showed signals of deception. He said I want my daughter home . That would be would be great to have my daughter home. But what is very telling this in his statement, is he made this statement as if he was asking a question with upward inflection at the end of the statement.
Facial language wise as you can see, his eyes are opened wide and eyebrows raised and his head is cocked as though he was questioning his own statement.
George knows very well Casey will never come home just like Caylee will never come home.When he says that it would be great to have his daughter home, he says it devoid of emotion and in a flat monotone. This is further evidence to me that he in no way thinks it would be great to have his daughter home.
Even more telling is his signal of deception- the tell tale shoulder shrug. As he says That would be great to have my daughter home, you see George immediately shrugs his shoulder. This indicates the opposite of his statement that it would be great to have his daughter home. His body language is revealing his true feelings about Casey. He clearly doesn’t want a daughter home who accused him of sexually molesting her.
Then, he quickly transitions to another thought which seems to be more realistic as he speaks the truth. He he bows his head down and in contrast to his previous statement makes an emphatic statement by saying in a rich tone ” “ But then again, we want to see this through”
George then lifts his head and in a confident tone says We’ve always wanted to find out what happened to Caylee, no matter where the road or the path takes us,”
George clearly knows what” path it will take us”. It will take us on the path of finding out that Casey may have very well murdered his beloved granddaughter which will take Casey on the path to life imprisonment or lethal injection.
CINDY’S DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SPIN
To me, the above photo says it all. George contorts his mouth in an angry jaw projection while pursing his lips at the same time. This indicates that he is angry and can’t say anything else as he looks at Cindy with an angry furrowed brow as he knows what she is about to say is complete spin. He clearly does not believe what is about to come out of Cindy’s mouth and his disdain has clearly leaked out in his in his facial expression.
When a person can’t give you direct eye contact, it shows that they have something to hide or they don;t believe what they are saying. Cindy looks down as she begins her spin to protect Casey.
I am convinced she is doing all of this spin because of the immense guilt she must feel for her role in all of this. Remember it was Cindy who told Casey that she would throw her out keep Caylee. That is no doubt what must have sent sent Casey over the edge . Cindy no doubt knows that if she wouldn’t have been the catalyst for this, Caylee might still be alive.
She also no doubt, feels guilt over their awful relationship. When your own daughter is afraid to tell you she is pregnant and when she cannot tell you that her own daughter is missing or that something happened to her without your having to punch a pillow or choke her like Cindy allegedly did with Casey,then something is terribly wrong. Cindy clearly knows this and hence the spin.
So to assuage her guilt, she spins and spins and spins. Even though her words says one thing, her vocal tone, cadence,inflection or lack of it, and body language and facial expression say what she is really thinking.
She begins with “It’s a fine line here “because the prosecution is attacking Casey. They’re supposed to be doing justice for Caylee. That’s why I’m so emphatic that they need to look at every little thing.”
Her wide eyed wild look shows her desperation. It is her attempt to reach out and blame like she tried to do since the beginning in her attempts to throw innocent people under the bus like Amy Huizenga, Jesse Grund, and a fictitious Zanaida Gonzalez .
Then Carey Sanders bluntly replies” They say every little thing points back to your daughter.”
Cindy was not expecting that question as her vocal muscles tighten up. She doesn’t know what to say to that. So she creaks out tones that are known as glottal frys where she is unable to speak with vocal fluidity. She also speak very slowly and very deliberately in an attempt to gather her thoughts as she spins.
Her body language and facial expression indicate that she is taken aback, She cannot make eye contact as she initially pulls her head back and looks down. She continues to look down and mouth words and repeat herself as she spins her tale about there being no fibers or no hair. As she said the world “hair” you really hear the glottal fry or creak in her voice. When you hear that consistent glottal it is often an indication of deception where the person knows what they are saying is not the case at all.
Cindy sounds like a junior detective talking about hair fibers, lack of evidence, DNA and fingerprints as she looks down as she mentions each of these words. She knows what the biggest evidence is- the duct tape but doesn’t mention that.
She speaks slowly and deliberately as she is on unfamiliar territory and you can actually see her formulating her spin in her mind as it comes out of her mouth full of glottal frys. Perhaps Brad Conway or someone else coached her on what to say in order to raise the benefit of the doubt when it comes to Casey.
But the real question is why is Cindy going on the air and pleading her case in the media? Shouldn’t that be done in the courtroom? www.drlillianglass.com
