Had to take a phone call, so I'm just starting on the Prosecution's closing statement now. The camera's giving us a real good view of CD's facial expressions today...
(1) Check out the asymmetry -- SO much nervous tension there! -- as Blake talks about him using "prior probations" to justify his affair

(2) Looking away when the James & Elena story is projected... yet it almost looks like he's smirking. Still with that asymmetrical "nervous tension" mouth (with a hint of contempt)

(3) The return of Smug CD (following a head-shake), when Blake talks about a zombie's body having to die

(4) Chin-raised looking-down-his-nose-at-you expression when Blake talks about CD's influence over Alex

((to be continued!))
Still catching up on the prosecution's closing statement!
((Part II))
(5) Looking down quite a few times (embarrassed/ashamed?) during the prison call with LVD as she's asking for reassurance about "the project"
(6) Smug CD shakes his head again when Blake says that he'd told LVD that Tylee & JJ were dark before they moved to Rexburg
(7) Smug CD shakes his head again when Blake says that he was looking up "SSW Wind" on the last day that Tylee was seen alive.
(8) CD has some strange shifty-eye thing going on as Blake is talking about where Alex's phone was on the night that Tylee was killed. Maybe trying to look at the jury without turning his head?
(9) Curious expression from CD as Blake reads the raccoon text.
(10) Smuggest smug face I've seen from CD (along with a head-shake AND lips forming the word "no") when Blake states that because Tylee was dark, her body had to die. He really seems to be annoyed that she's somehow misstating the nuance of his beliefs, rather than showing any emotion at all about the fact that Tylee is dead. (After this, he immediately does the shifty-eye thing again like he's trying to gauge the jury's reaction without moving his head)
(11) "If CD labels someone dark or a zombie, the body has to die" gets yet another smug head-shake when talking about JJ
(12) Smug CD again with a very small head-shake when Blake says that he backed out of the trip to Utah with Tammy at the beginning of October
(13) "Someone's dark. Someone's a zombie. Someone has to die" -- this time, in reference to Tammy -- prompts another smug head-shake
(14) "Someone's dark. The body has to die. CD doesn't want to wait." Another smug head-shake! He really hates that part of Blake's narrative! (I swear, this is a different pic than the one above it! He's just got the SAME EXACT look both times!)
