I never saw any tears either. It was identical to Scott Peterson wiping his dry eyes in his prliminary trial. She still has no tears. The rest I think was an act. I think she deliberately did NOT wear makeup to make herself look bad.
It's still a game to hr imo
I think maybe somebody (AL?) had a "come to Jesus" talk with her about her comportment and demeanor in court, how she needed to look solemn and serious (even though she looked like she was jumping out of her skin in open-eyed REM sleep) and that maybe a tear or two (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) could help make her look sympathetic to a jury. Somebody told her maybe it could mean the difference between life or death. AL sure shot both JB and KC a look when they exchanged a note. I think she is slowly beginning to assert her "alpha dog" personality on this case.
I think the defense reads our comments about her appearance because I notice that things we criticize from one hearing are changed at the next. Her hair (though greasy) was up off her face this time so she wasn't constantly playing with it (which is body language that indicates anxiety and a desire not to be straightforward). She wasn't constantly fiddling with her clothes and hands that I could see. She didn't have all the eye makeup she had on last time. She was dressed in a plain, sort of nondescript outfit in a color that emphasized her paleness and the bags under her eyes. I think somebody told her this isn't a beauty contest but a fight for her life and perhaps she ought to act like an exhausted, bereaved parent instead of a flirty high school girl throwing pens at her "attorney".
I doubt she thought of any of these things on her own - she is too vain, silly and shallow. And JB or CA or whoever has dressed her previously did not realize that she doesn't need to look like a legal intern or a secretary in a twinset, but a poor, plain little waif that will be hard for jurors to imagine is the same person poledancing and partying in the American flag.
Somebody who has had some experience with how a defendant needs to look to a jury in a DP trial, and the impact it can have on the outcome, has been coaching her, imo.
