I was absolutely astounded at the level of emotion KC showed today. And yes, it was ALL for herself. To think that she can sit there hearing the most gruesome details about her own child's remains, and be stony-faced--but when the talk turns to how HER rights are being violated, she's finally reduced to tears? It was just such a telling moment and huge insight into her inner workings. Truly amazing to watch.
Oh, and I was thinking about the "was CM's touch meant to be some kind of trigger for her emotions" and I do think this is part of it. I seem to recall back in the AL days, she was quick to physically comfort the defendant when she began to show signs of emotion. AL may be off the team, but she clearly left her playbook in their locker room, IMO.

I couldn't agree more with your whole post but you were reading my mind re: the portion I bolded.
I really need to watch and listen to the hearing again. I was completely taken aback by the visual displays of emotion by both CA and Casey. Then totally mesmerized by it all. I couldn't focus on much else. We may never hear the truth, but we got to see it today because her body betrayed her. Speaking of which - I bet Lillian Glass is having a field day with this.
fwiw, the shaking I saw displayed by CA was real too, imo. It was too fast - trembling and uncontrollable. From anger? nerves? fear? I don't know yet....but I do not believe it is possible to fake what I witnessed. IMHO, they are both very, very scared. All I have to say, is it's about time. And I have ZERO pity for your fear because it is nothing in comparision to the fear innocent, precious 2 1/2 yr. old Caylee felt while looking in to they eyes of her mother when she applied the duct tape.
