Murder Defendant Casey Anthony's Multiple Personalities - The Daily Beast

Murder Defendant Casey Anthony's Multiple Personalities - The Daily Beast: "There is no Miss Manners guidebook on how one is expected to behave at one’s own murder trial. But after watching Casey Marie Anthony’s behavior during jury selection at her capital murder case over the past week-and-a-half, observers are left wondering how many different ways someone can behave.

The first day she appeared especially engaged and intense as she and her lawyers hunched around the defense table and quietly conferred. Anthony asked questions, locked eyes with her advisors and nodded nervously at everything they said.
Once their chairs were shifted so prospective jurors could look directly at her from their seats in the gallery Casey Anthony seemed to take on an entirely different persona. She sat still and stiller and never looked up from some mystery focal spot on the table in front of her. She began to clutch a tissue and wipe her eyes and nose even before the indictment against her was read aloud. A completely different persona seemed to have emerged."
