You know how you've seen plenty of mentally disturbed people and their behaviors? Too bad Casey doesn't see herself as we do. The flirty batting of eyelashes, with head tilted down, the incessant piddling with her collars, buttons, hair, eyes, eyelashes (and always looking at it as if she might have an eye boogie or something).
There are med. terminology words for these, but I just cannot think of them right now. Any shrink would pick up on it right away. She does not have a confident, mature demeanor. She acts more like she is trying to look demure and sexy at the same time. I can't put a word on it, but it is annoying.
Has no one put her into psychiatric evaluation yet? (Serious eval.?)
Also, there must be SOME piece of clothing that would not focus and showcase her bosom. There's a right way to put yourself out there, and she is missing it completely. The hair is scraggly and seems to be a prop for her (for something else to do with her hands).
I thought her lawyers would have tutored her on these things way long ago.
I also think that actually seeing and hearing the jurors is doing something to her. The ones who sound like great choices, she knows she is not going to fool them. She is so used to fooling her mom, dad, friends, etc., and now she has to deal with reality. Time for some medical/mental antics, such as paralyzed hands, who knows what comes next.
She's realizing that it's all coming down: the witnesses, she will be seeing them face to face. The reality. People are beyond the point of giving her any benefit of a doubt now. She's sitting out there at the desk and there's not much of anyone else to focus on, which normally Casey would love, but now she is going into panic mode, I think. I think she won't be able to deal with it and would love to be in a psychiatric hospital as an "escape".
MOO
