Casey Anthony’s Body Language Showed Her Tears Were Fake in Court

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

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.

Casey Anthony’s Body Language in Court Reflects Phony Non- Tears, Fake Sniffles, and An Empty Apology

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

 


CASEY’S ENTRANCE
Casey Anthony  entered the courtroom with a nauseating smirk. The smirk and smile did not leave this  sociopath’s face as she looked “excited” to have all the attention focus on her. She was wide-eyed and consistently maintained her smile, as she finally said to Andrea Lyons “I’m excited.”
Even though the sound wasn’t up for anyone to hear, my Utley lip-reading skills that I learned about as an undergraduate speech pathology major, back in the day,  stood me well.
I was able to read Casey’s lips as she mouthed those words, as she smiled all the while. At first, I didn’t believe that I actually read those words on her lips, so I rewound the video. Low and behold, my eyes were not playing tricks on me after all.  She definitely spoke those words. I was even more nauseated and disgusted by Casey Anthony then ever before.
EXCITED ???????EXCITED ABOUT WHAT???
Was Casey EXCITED by the fact :

  1. that she stole money from her  best friend and ran  up her bills and was now on trial for doing that ?

that  she is now a full  fledged felon????
that she is the center of attention?
that she had some lines to memorize, courtesy of “screenwriters” Andrea Lyon and Jose Baez and didn’t want to flub those well rehearsed lines during her verbal  acting debut in court.
that she had her lines down pat and was excited to recite them in court???
All of the above ???
VOCAL “TELL”S OF DECEPTION
When anyone is not being forthright or sincere, you can hear it in their voice.
One of the main “tells” is that pitch of their voice raised, It goes up an octave or two like you just heard in this video when Casey spoke.
Her high-pitched voice was a far “cry” (we’ll get to the crying bit in a moment)) from the lower tones we all heard while she was sending officers on that infamous wild goose chase and when she was telling them about the fictious” Zanny the Nanny.”
Next, when someone is not being sincere or forthright, you hear the voice closing off and cracking. It is the vocal muscles way of shutting itself off from the obvious lie.
THE BODY’S GIVEAWAY COMPLETE WITH UNCONTROLLED HEAD JERK AND GULP

In Casey’s case, you even see this visually. As she speaks a few words, out of the blue, her head jerks itself  back.
In essence it is her body’s visceral reaction to her lies and rehearsed lines and insincerity. You even see her gulp. Her vocal muscles are betraying her and staring to close off as she recites her ”bullshit”  (sorry, if I offended anyone by saying “bullshit” but that is the only word that best describes what was going on here.)
When she says “I take full and complete responsibility”  with her raised eyebrows it is a clear signal of deception and a clear indication that she is saying something she does not believe at all.

When Casey says “I’d like to sincerely apologize to Amy , and wipes away a non tear on her cheek you can see right then and there it is a fake apology.  There was no tear so why was she flicking away a tear before one emerge?
It was because of what came next. Her following rehearsed line was “I wish I would have been a better friend.” Puhleeeeeeez.  Then we see more fake non tears and the book hooing it. The cracking of the voice when she says this shows how the body is closing off as it doesn’t want to speak those lying words.
Casey was only a friend to Casey. Casey only thought about Casey. The only friend Casey could have is a friend she could use, manipulate  and of whom she could take complete advantage.
One more thing, you see a lot of upper chest breathing in this non apology Casey made This is the body working overtime and trying to oxygenate itself. She is” excited” at having to perform and this is her body’s way of trying to maintain a homeostatic balance in the body. It is also an indication that she was clearly not being sincere in what she was saying.
INSINCERE TONE AND FACIAL TELLS
There was no sincerity to her apology as indicated by her voice tone. It sounded like she was asking a question with her upward inflection. Her raised eyebrows indicated that it was new information that her body was processing.
It was foreign to her system and as a result her body language reacted in a questioning manner, complete with raised eyebrows and upward inflection. Her body and her system was not used to this foreign experience  of apologizing or taking  responsibility for anything. This was no doubt the first time she ever did anything like that and it clearly showed in her body language.
JOSE BAEZ LOOKS ON LIKE A PROUD PAPPA AS HE MAKES SURE SHE DOESN’T FLUB HER  LINES
As Casey was reciting her lines of bullshit, Jose Baez’s eyes did not leave Casey’s face. He looked like a proud papa at a grade school play, making sure that his kid didn’t flub her lines. Casey may have memorized her lines and not flubbed them verbally, but she sure flubbed them vocally and body language wise.
LIP PURSING AT THE END OF HER BS REHEARSED SPEECH

Whenever you see someone purse their lips after they tell you something, they are usually lying. It’s the body’s way of closing off.  That is what Casey did. She pursed her lips after her rehearsed lines.
CASEY’S “ SIX STEP BOO HOO RITIUAL” COMPLETE WITH  NON TEARS, NON MUCOUS, FAKE AUDIBLE SNIFFLES, AND HAIR TOUCHING
If listening to Casey’s fake apology wasn’t bad enough, it was even worse having to endure looking  at her obsessive ritualistic behavior in the courtroom with regard to her boo hooing it. Here is what she does:
1 She wipes away non tears either with her finger or with a kleenex
2. There is no facial distress often associated with tears.
3. Then she looks at her finger or her kleenex for non- liquid that comes out of her non- tears.
4. Then she sniffles audibly so that everyone can hear her.
5. Then she dabs the non- mucous and non- liquid from her nose where she makes her fake sniffle noises
6. Then she touches her hair, pats it or flips it.
She  repeats this ritual ad nauseum.
JOSE IS SOOOO OVER CASEY’S FAKE TEARS HE IGNORES HER, BUT ANDREA PLAYS MAMMA HEN
As soon as  Casey sat down after her rehearsed bullshit  apology, Andrea Lyons  acted like the mother hen as she put her arm around Casey. Casey ignored Andrea’s  nurturing and maternal attempts as Casey began her Six Step Boo Hoo Ritual  complete with non tear wiping and tissue examining.

My Utley Lip Reading Skills were used once again as Andrea mouths the words to Casey asking her is she was OK? Casey ignores Andrea and continues her ritual, Andrea asks her again and Casey is way too busy with her ritual to answer. She finally nods her head as if to indicate she is OK after her rehearsed “apology” debut.
Casey’s non- answer speaks volumes. It shows how very much into herself she is and how self- absorbed she is.

Meanwhile Jose could care less. He’s seen it all before. He’s heard it all before. He’s hip to the fake tears  and fake sniffles. He doesn’t even look at her.
At first he used to be very attentive to Casey—maybe too attentive! Now he would never think of comforting her let alone touching her. That’s the last think he needs to deal with in regard to this Casey Case.

There was a point where Jose has his hand on his forehead as if to nonverbally say” how did I get myself into this mess representing this sociopath next to me with her fake tears. I wish she’d stop already. I told her to show some emotion but this is ridiculous already!”
Then Jose’s hand leaves his forehead and his hands now appear on his desk in a lawyerly stance. He back to the reality of defending this miscreant and probably thinking “ What the heck, it’s been good PR for my career. I’ve got to do everything possible to defend her because everyone in the world is watching  me”
CASEY’S ICE FACE

Halfway through the tape around 13.00 you see the real Casey Anthony up close and personal. You see what I call her ICE FACE. There  is no reaction. It is scary to look at. It is devoid of emotion. It is for lack of a better word”creepy.” Her ice face reflects what is really going on inside of her- nothing!
There is no reaction except for some grooming behaviors where she pats her hair or straightens her collar.These grooming behaviors reflect her narcissism and  wanting to look good to others- something sociopaths often do.
CINDY ANYTHONY’S  TEAR WIPING AND LOOKING AT HER OWN HANKIE
The apple does not fall from the tree. Cindy Anthony does the same thing Casey does, except her tears are probably  a bit more real than Casey’s. They may be tears of guilt for letting her sociopathic daughter run her all these years and  stear from her and her own mother (Casey’s grandmother) not putting a stop to Casey’s aberrant  behaviors.
They may be tears of reality that her daughter is now a convicted felon and that this little court date will be a piece of cake compared with what is in store in the murder trial.
The bottom line is that no matter what kind of tears Cindy had, she too examined them just like Casey does.
GEORGE DOESN’T RESPOND TO CINDY’S I LOVE YOU” IN THE COURTROOM
George looked like a miserable mess with puffy eyes so you know his tears were for real.
My Ultey Lipreading Skills came into use once again as Cindy as she mouthed the words to her husband George- “I love you.” He didn’t respond.  He didn’t say I love you too or I love you back, He said nothing and looked ahead.
J
OSE BAEZ’ BODY LANGUAGE LEAKED THAT HE DIDN’T BELIEVE CASEY WAS   TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER ACTIONS
Watching and hearing Casey speak and watching her fake boo hoos in the courtroom and her  ritualistic behavior were both sickening and maddening.
It was maddening to see the obvious manipulation by the attorneys in making her apologize to Amy for not being a better friend. Puhleeze!

What was even more maddening was when Jose Baez (whom I must admit does look rather dapper and handsome and does try to maintain his professional composure  through his  well spoken sonorous voice)  spoke to reporters outside the courtroom. He  continued his manipulation as the cameras were pointed at him. But no matter how clever or convincing he thought he was being, he clearly leaked out his true thoughts and feelings  the end.
As his final words said that Casey’s apology showed that she was taking responsibility for her actions, his head shook ‘NO” when it should have been nodding “YES ” in the affirmative. So Jose’s body language betrayed him. It revealed that he knows very well  that sociopaths NEVER take responsibility for their actions.
He knows very well that he put those  words of apology  in her mouth for her to regurgitate.
While Casey  may have regurgitated  his words, no matter how many times she rehearsed them, her body language and voice spoke the truth! Her apology was insincere and contrived! www.drlillianglass.com
