FAKE NON TEARS FOR CASEY
Contrary to news reports which stated that Casey Anthony cried in court, my intensive body language observations were that Casey did NOT cry in court . Sociopaths are incapable of real tears. Since Casey is a sociopath in my view, she did not cry any real tears.
News accounts said that Casey broke down as soon as her brother Lee took the stand. But that was not the case at all. Her facial expression especially her mouth, did not indicate a person who was sad or grieving or crying.
As you can see in the photo above she is wiping a way a non- tear. Her facial expressions consistently do not show the mouth and eye movement that is present when a person is truly crying.
But before I discuss Casey’s reactions when when her mother Cindy took the stand and her reactions when Lee took the stand, I want to discuss her courtroom demeanor in general
A HAPPY SMILING CASEY ENTERS THE COURTROOM
While Jose Baez has apparently done a good job in coaching her to stop the laughing and smiling, her smirks still manage to leak out as you can see in the photo below when she entered the courtroom .
Maybe she is smiling and smirking because she is so happy to get out of her jail cage where she has to remain 23 hours a day.
Maybe she is smiling and smirking because as a self consumed narcissist, she gets to have all eyes focusing on her and that makes her happy.
But in my view one of her major reasons for her genuine smile is that she is about to take her seat at the defendant’s and gets to sit next to her crush and attorney- Jose Baez.
UNBUTTONING THE BUTTONS, SHOWING SOME SKIN AND SEX APPEAL
There is no question in my mind, now that her former death penalty attorney Andrea Lyon is no longer in the picture and forcing her to wear those unsexy ruffly clothing she hated, Casey is now dressing with Baez in mind.
Now there is a sexier look as she is now longer buttoned up. She is now showing a lot more flesh as she unbuttons her blouse to show Jose that she still has it. She still has cleavage and still wants him to know that she has sex appeal.
But at this point, Jose could care less . The only thing he is focusing on is keeping afloat and doing his best to adequately represent this aberrant creature. He has no interest in her or her cleavage or her sex appeal.
The only interest he has is doing everything possible so she won’t get a lethal needle. For the most part he comes across collected and in control, but there are times where he is overwhelmed and his nervous energy leaks out in his body language.
We can often see his finger tapping and pen tapping, and fidgeting. He moves around a lot physically. But in listening to Cindy’s testimony, Jose was clearly uncomfortable body language wise. We saw evidence of a dry mouth and snake like side to side lip licking as seen below.
This indcated that his mouth was dry and he was no doubt feeling a bit unsettled and uncomfortable.
But Jose is not the only one showing nervousness and discomfort as she listened to Cindy;s testimony .Veteran attorney Cheny Mason was taken aback as well. He appeared to be very concerned , I have no doubt that he was wondering what in the world he was going to do in order to try and defend the sociopathic mess sitting next to him. He furrows his brow and covers his mouth, which indicates that he has no words to express what he just heard from Cindy.
He he has no idea what to say or do as he is speechless. When a person places their hands or fingers over their mouth, it indicates that they are speechless and don’t know what to say.
Note the contrast in Casey’ demeanor. She looks blank as if she was listening to a benign weather report as she listeed to her mother .
As the proceeding progressed, Cheney Mason’s body language did not change much from his hand over his mouth position .
But there was a time as you can see in the photo above that is finger landed in his mouth. This indicated that he was flabbergasted by what he heard. His even more furrowed brow shows extreme concern as to how in the world he was going to defend Casey.
His rounded shoulders showed submission and that he was humbled after listening to the 911 tape.
His body language was a far cry from the cocky Cheney Mason with squared shoulders and an arrogance when he said that he and Casey would walk out of the courtroom arm in arm with Casey a free woman. After getting more involved inthecase I doubt Cheney feels the same way he did when he first began the case.
CASEY’S REACTION WHEN CINDY WAS ON THE STAND
When Cindy was on the stand Casey could care less. There was no outward reaction whatesoever. However, there was a lot more hair grooming than usual as you can see below.
Casey repeated hair grooming in her mother’s presence clearly reflected her insecurities about her physical appearance .
We know that Cindy has put a premium on Casey’s looks, telling her how beautiful she looks in her jailhouse letters to Casey. So Casey’s grooming is no doubt an automatic reaction towards making sure she looks “beautiful” in front of her mother Cindy.
CASEY’S STICKING HER FINGERS IN HER EYES AND NON TEARS WHEN LESS WAS ON THE STAND
As soon as Lee hit the stand and obnoxiously and inappropriately he words mouthed the words “ I love you” to his sister who twice accused him of sexually molesting her, Casey began to stick her finger in her eye in an attempt to draw liquid int the form of a tear.
Jose Baez put his arm around her as of to comfort her. In reality, it was in my view to encourage her fake boo hooing in an attempt to make her look more human than the automaton emotionless freak of nature that she appears to be.
As you see int he photo above, Casey’s fingers are curved in a claw like fashion. The positioning of her fingers are not the position fingers should be in when a person is wiping away their tears. Instead, the fingers should be flat as the tears
are wiped away. 
In this photo above we clearly see Casey sticking her finger inside her eye in an attempt to cause irritation of the eye and cause the eye to tear.
Casey not only uses her fingers, she uses her thumb as well. Here she is sticking her thumb into her eye in an attempt to casue irriation and elicit redness as well as a tear.
CASEY’S FAKE CRYING RITUAL
Cheney Mason hands her a Kleenex. She then tried to fold the Kleenex. Note that she is focused on the Kleenex. There is no crying facial expression, which indicates that Casey must have trouble doing two things at the same time -crying and folding a Kleenex.
She attempts to wipe a non tear. She misses and wipes the non year off of the bridge of her nose. Once again, note the non crying facial expression.
Then she wipes the other non teary eye with the Kleenex.
In summary, first she wipes a non tear on one side and then wipes another non tear on the other side. It;s all ridiculous as no one cries and tears one eye at a time . When people genuinely cry. they cry with both eyes at the same time, not one at a time as Casey’s behavior reflects.
Then she looks at the non tear on her hankie.
Then she grooms her hair one side and then grooms the other side. When someone is that distraught, the last thing they are thinking about is how their hair looks.
BROTHER AND SISTER SHARE A CHUCKLE
Besides brother Lee Anthony’s inappropriate mouthing of “I love you” to his sister who twice accused him of sexually molesting her. another sickening thing to witness was their shared smiles chuckles at the expense of Cheney Mason and his hearing aid issues.
When Lee didn’t focus on Cheney Mason’s question, he attempted to make a joke by saying that there was static is his ears too. He proudly laughed at his own joke.
Sister Casey was also enjoying the laugh as well, as you can see in the photo below.
Casey is clearly enjoying Lee’s attempt at a joke as she smiles, while at the same time tries not to show her repaired dental work. This speaks to her vanity and narcissism. She stifles her laugh and smile, only because she is self conscious of her dental condition. The fact that she is laughing at all is very disturbing to me .
There is absolutely NOTHING funny about the fact that she is in this courtroom. She always needs to be reminded that she is there for the fight of her life.She always needs to be reminded that she is there because the state believes she murdered her innocent daughter.
She always needs to be reminded that if she loses that fight and gets the lethal needle, it will not feel very pleasant.
Jose Baez needs to stop coddling her and give her a sober reality check concerning her courtroom behavior.
He needs to tell her that she will be scrutinized from every angle by the jurors and they will be taking everything she does very seriously. He needs to tell her that if she wants a fair trial she needs to take everything that goes on in the courtroom very seriously and wipe off any smirks or smiles for good.
And while he is at it, Jose needs to tell her to stop the boo hooing it. It’s not working and people see through it. It’s fake and odd looking. While at first glance she may look like she is crying , if a jury is stuck looking at her for weeks and notices her every move and every nuance of her behavior, they will pick up on how fake it is. It does not elicit pity for her. In fact is has the opposite effect. It makes her even more disliked and even hated.

Great article once again. I always enjoy your blogs, Dr. Glass. Each time I get one in my mailbox I grab my coffee and enjoy the read.
I once read that chronic liars do not SEE the lie that everyone else sees. Casey just doesn’t seem to “get it” at all…not even “how to cry.”
She is so void of emotion (and a connection to reality) that she even has trouble mimicking other people crying because she has no point of reference.
I found the “ritual” aspect of it very interesting.
I think part of her smiling is also because she feels that she is a celebrity and each court appearance is “her stage.” It’s an opportunity for her to be seen and talked about in the “media” (as she likes to call it) as well as an opportunity to flirt with Baez who she clearly wants to notice her.
She seems to think she has “accomplished” something by murdering Caylee and her father George is re-enforcing that idea! IE: “your the head of a giant corporation…!”
Those jailhouse letters sound exactly like something she would write because it’s all about her future and her book and her trip around the country in her RV and all sorts of other things about “her” that only someone who was completely out of touch with reality would think was possible in her situation.
That sounds more like the “real Casey”…the Casey that thought it would be a great idea to murder Caylee so she could live the “beautiful life” and no one would be the wiser.
The Casey that thought that would work.
The Casey that still thinks it’s going to work and now she will get the extra bonus of being a celebrity when she “gets out” and that she will be actually making a living from TV appearances!
The same Casey that thinks she is going to be working with “missing children.”
The same exact Casey that thinks she looks like she’s REALLY crying in court.
To ME…it all looks fake and contrived and I can tell that in reality…when the prosecutor starts to lay this whole thing out…that Casey is going to be ANGRY…not “sad.”
I wonder what will happen then?
Hi Dr. Glass,
Just wondering if you had a chance to respond to my question regarding the 911 tapes NOT being played at the hearing. Was wondering you analyzed Cheney in Court if he was NOT listening to the tapes. Thanks much.
Always interesting read when I visit your site Dr Glass. I would like to take a try at this one too if you don’t mind ?
I seen tears, and I seen Casey’s face flush over, and the tip of her nose is even red. Casey will not cry for Caylee. Casey will cry for Casey. Lee being her “coolest brother ” in the world, the one who probably stuck up for her the most throughout her life sits down in front of her on the stand. Littel does she probably realize that he seems to have a low opinion of her, but yet loves her because they are siblings. Casey probably looked up to Lee a lot, and felt a strong bond with him because he was more than likely the most positive role model in her life. ( brow raising but yeah ok). Under these emotions of Casey’s …inside of what I just said, Casey suddenly had an emotion of self pity, and began to cry because Lee probably always coddled her when she did. Casey has no one to comfort her anymore, and this is what I think. Thank you for letting me share my thoughts..
Casey hiding her smile not to show her pearly whites, yes. Kind of has that Forrest Gump look. She finds humor and excitement in Lee’s so called humor. Sort of like its social time in the court room for her because big brother Lee was probably the jokester of the family. Although, like you and everyone else I find no humor in those annoying nervous giggles of his.
Seems like when Casey is laughing and smiling she raises her eye brows a lot. Wondering what that means.
Did you also notice that Casey said “wow!” as she watched her mom leave the stand after lying about the web searches for chloroform?
