When Tony Lazarro was on the stand, Casey often looked away from him. She did not focus on him directly. She showed little, if any emotion body language wise. But her upper chest heaving deep breathing reflected her nervousness and discomfort .
When Tony said that they hit it off the only emotion Casey leaked out was contempt. Look at how her angry eyed gaze and how one side of her lip is pulled to the right. It makes me wonder if she ever liked Tony but was simply using Tony for his club connections as a DJ along with a place to stay.
When Tony speaks of how Casey would initially just come over to his house, he was uncomfortable talking about it as you can see by his lip lick leak.
When he talks about how Casey brought Caylee with him when she came over, he appeared to leaked out that he may possibly not have been that thrilled about it as he cocks his head to the side and purses his lip. One has to admit that it is a bit awkward to begin a social relationship with a two year old in tow. No doubt Tony’s facial expression reflects this feeling.
When Lazarro says that she did bring her daughter, he literally jerks his body back . To me it reflects that he was taken aback at someone bringing their child on an initial date. While he may have welcomed Caylee he may have felt that it was unusual.
When asked if Casey stayed over his house during their initial interactions, he was uncomfortable and embarrassed taking about it as evidenced by his lip licking and squirming It appeared that she may have just come over for a sexual liaison and left afterwards, not staying the night.
When Lazarro speaks Casey usually seems to look off to the side, but she occasionally manages to sneak a peak. Casey’s eyebrows appear to be mutilated. hey She may have over tweezed or shaved them. Oftentimes when people feel cornered, pressured or guilt they may “beat themselves up” or even engage in self mutilating behaviors. There is no question in my view that Casey may have engaged in this behavior with regard to her eyebrows. It appeared that she tweezed or shaved away of half of her brow on both sides, giving her a devilish appearance in my view.
As soon as she sneeks a peek at Lazarro, she immediately turns away from him as we see in the photo above.
Tony leaks out sadness when discussing Caylee being at the mall with Casey while he was there handing out leaflets. His pursed lips indicated that he didn’t want to discuss it as it no doubt brought back a sad memory.
Here we see Lazarro leak out some anger as he talks about how Casey talked to him about the fictional people at work and mentioned Jeff and Zanny the Nanny. His curled lower lip shows upset at how he was duped by Casey.
When Tony mentions Zanny, Casey looks away and appears expressionless as she stares in the distance.
When asked if he cared for Casey he said he did but the give away was that he exhibited an immediate shoulder shrug. To me this shows that he may have cared for her but not that deeply. He sort of cared for her. He may have cared for her at that time but was ambivalent.
When their trip to Blockbuster was brought up Tony gets a case of the “itchy scratchies” which indicates that he is uncomfortable talking about it. This was the time that Caylee went missing and he was with an alleged murderer who showed no difference in behavior and demeanor as they checked out movies.
His discomfort continues to be evident as he discusses how Casey had nor change on her behavior and demeanor at the time they went to Blockbuster. He scratches himself in discomfort and his pursed downturned lips and curled back lower lip shows that he is both sad and angry about it.
As Tony says that he played hooky from school the next day because he didn’t want to leave the bed, we see him smiling and happy as he recalls his lustful sexual liaison with Casey during that time period. This is significant. Now that Caylee was no longer in the picture, Casey may have felt more free to express herself sexually. Hence Tony’s intense sexual memories of Casey’s hyper sexuality at time. It is interesting that he doesn’t express his lust about her when Caylee was with her and Casey came over for sex and left. But now that Casey was free of Caylee and felt more free sexually, her sexual freedom obviously left such an indelible impression in Tony’s mind that three years later as he recalls it, his face reflects the lustful memory.
When Tony is reminded by Jose Baez that in Tony’s deposition he said that Casey warned Caylee to stay away from the pool, Casey showed emotion for the first time. She showed sadness as you can see above. But it appears to be contrived sadness as her eyes look tense and sad but her lips are not downturned as one would normally see in a sad expression. To me it appears as though it is contrived.
No doubt, through Tony’s statement , the defense got in their point in of how great and watchful a mother Casey was and how Caylee seemed to always want to venture into pools by herself. Now the defense can easily make the leap that because Caylee tried to venture into Tony’s pool alone, she also ventured into the Anthony pool alone and drowned. .drlillianglass.com
