Casey's Body Language and Reactionary Comments#3

[Tulessa]

I am dying for someone to analyse this interview.

A tip to know when Casey is lying, she will use the word "EVEN" before she makes her point. Have noticed this on many occasions.

I extended an invitation to Dr. Glass to join us here and share with us some of her insight. So we shall see.

Great idea Tulessa! That would be wonderful if she joined us.

I think she would be a wonderful voice for Caylee.:woohoo:

Did anybody catch JB on In Session this morning imploring Amy, if she still has any love for Casey, to accept her heartfelt apology? I nearly lost my breakfast.
Please Amy, please don't testify in the murder trial is what he wanted to say IMO.

 

[TotallyObsessed]

IMO - KC's apology "act" in court showed identical characteristics of her dad, GA. And we all know how many times he has been "mistruthful"....

I find this an interesting twist. My guess: We know that the defense is making attempts to humanize the convicted felon. The more people they get on the perp's side, the better she looks. At this point they are making Amy look bad as if she is "not accepting" the perp's 'apology'. IMO, it's a form of emotional blackmail, speaking to her sense of guilt, and making the perp look the innocent and victim, while tarnishing Amy's character by implication. I imagine it's a win-win situation in the minds of the defense because if Amy does not remain silent, and she's a great witness for the state, what she says could be used against her by the defense at the trial, that is, weaken her position and testimony. Also, if Amy were to publicly forgive her, it takes the sting out of the felony conviction. All for the sake of swaying the jury.

I would think the only comment Amy would make is "What took you so long?"

That is the exact question we have been asking KC all along with reference to Caylee, isn't it????? What took you so long to report her missing?? Oh, I remember--YOU never reported her missing! Nevermind.

 

[wonders]

I personally hope Amy stays behind the curtain. IMO she has nothing to gain by responding to KC's apologie. I hope Amy is able to see it as what it was. MOO

Exactly! I don't think Amy should be baited to comment either way and I don't think she would/will comment.

This is just JB using the media with the mission to humanize KC, that was obviously the whole point of KC's act and why she was so excited about it. Obviously the Defense had made a HUGE deal out of KC's role in court and this was her moment on the public stage.

i thought the best way to tell if casey is lying is if her lips are moving........
and of course she was excited in court yesterday......
this was her 'day in the sun' where all the focus was centered on her.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels this way!!!!:woohoo:

I couldn't believe "Dr." Glass's commentary about Casey supposedly smirking and basking in attention as she entered the courtroom. When I was watching the hearing I thought she was looking straight at her parents as she entered and was smiling for them. I thought it was a nicer smile to her parents than I've seen so far.

Of course "Dr" Glass is entitled to her opinion, and I personally agreed with a few of her points, (based on my own subjective interpretation, just as hers is subjective)--but I have to laugh a little at the way she states her interpretations as if they are fact!

wait a second, maybe this was commentary about her commentary that I was looking at! please excuse me if I have misquoted her.

Heartfelt apology---that's ridiculous, JB lives in the same fantasy world Casey does if he thinks the public believes her apology was sincere. Casey could have called or sent a letter to Amy a long time ago begging for her forgiveness. Apologizing in public in front of the judge in order to get a lighter sentence or invoke public sympathy is not a sincere apology. She did a heck of a lot more to Amy than steal money. Amy was a good friend to her and in return she got nothing but lies and betrayal. I'm not a psychiatrist but I have an idea Amy will have lasting affects from her association with Casey. I thought Casey's little speech was a slap in the face to Amy and minimized what she did to her. She used and abused Amy. She tried to stall the check fraud case until after the murder trial, leaving Amy in limbo for years. Casey couldn't care less about Amy or anyone else for that matter.

During the latest hearing, on Dec 11th, a few questions were raised about Casey's body language in court. I am no expert on the matter, but did find a good website that explains different body positions and their possible significance to thoughts and feelings.

I would be very appreciative if anyone can weigh in on this topic.

By the way, I searched for an existing body language thread, but it had been closed and I couldn't find another one. I hope it's OK to start this one. If not, Mods please feel free to move.

Thanks for the thread, and you are as much an "expert" as anyone else! Some people out there may call themselves "experts" but it's such a subjective field. But entertaining and interesting to discuss.

Dr. Glass does have some credentials to back up her opinion...


http://www.drlillianglass.com/biography/

"After receiving her Ph.D. at the young age of 24, in the field of Communication Disorders from the University of Minnesota, her doctoral dissertation "The Psychosocial Perceptions of Speech and Cosmetic Appearance on Patients With Craniofacial Anomalies" has become a landmark study. It was there that she combined her minor studies in Clinical Genetics with her major, Communication Disorders. Earlier, she received her MS Degree in Speech from the University of Michigan and graduated Magna Laude with a BS from Bradley University in Speech and Hearing Sciences. There, she was selected nation-wide to be one of Glamour Magazine's "Ten Top College Women”.

She completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Medical Genetics at UCLA School of Medicine, where she was both the youngest and only Ph.D. in an MD program. Dr. Glass then went on to become a university professor at USC. There, she taught in the Medical and Dental schools and in the Liberal Arts college. Her research on psychosocial and communication aspects of patients with genetic diseases has been published in professional journals worldwide."

in 18 months the only person i've seen casey have sympathy for is herself............not caylee, not amy, not the real 'zanny', not the man she let think was caylee's dad, not even her own parents, no matter how pathtic and sickening they are themselves.

For those who thought yesterday was the first emotional out pour we have seen from Casey yet (and believe me, she almost had me fooled once until I rewound and focused on her reaction), I urge you to watch her apology again.

First of all, she clenches her jaw a lot. Then as she speaks her "apologetic" words her mouth is very tight she sticks her chin out and jerks her head back defiantly, raises her eyebrow, widens her eyes and blink rapidly, but most importantly she begins her speech with "I just wanted to let everyone know..." :waitasec: Really Casey? Shouldn't you be more concerned with your immediate group and the hell you have put them through?

That to me, just further shows she is putting on a show for "everyone". Little Miss TV star. She even addressed Amy after Judge Strickland had told her she was not to have any direct or indirect contact with Amy :banghead:

Then there were the tears she tried to squeeze out again :snooty:
As she says; "sincerely" she has already begun swiping at the phony tears subconsciously. She clenches her jaw and responds with "no" composed when his honor thanks her and asks her if there is anything is. As usual once she is given attention and a tissue, she tries even harder to force the water works.

It is very odd the way she raises her hands to her face mimicking something like I have seen George do every time she becomes "emotional" and the way she wipes her tears, something I have seen from Cindy.
The only difference, Casey seems very ritualistic and over does it. 3 minutes and 40ish seconds of Casey blotting with that tissue Andrea handed her. :crazy:

The fact that she sits down and giggles while she says something to Jose is yet even more disturbing.

Based on the fact that Dr. Glass is a professional I would be willing to bet she is right on the money with the body language. Her interpretations are just that, interpretations at what we all see as a fact, which would be KC's body language. Spoken words are only part of what we take in when we make contact with people. The majority is body language and what we know and what we feel is going on with the person. I would say for the most part LE officers are usually pretty good at body language. We all learn it subconsciously, it's just that some of us are better at interpretations than others. In Dr. Glass' case, she is a well known professional in that field. JMO

:waitasec: Thanks for the link. Reading Dr. Glass' assessment now, so far it appears we agree on a lot.
