I’m not sure what all this body language stuff means. To me it is akin to phrenology - the reading of bumps on the head. TV commentators love this stuff - I actually heard one say that a juror was drumming a pen on her thigh - as if this meant anything.

So I’m not really worried about any of this. Now, a lady who says she has trouble judging anyone - that scares me!

Thank you again for doing this, Truth.

See post # 14 about juror #4. It may not be as bad as it seems.

When the media makes generalizations I’ve learned to try and check the source ;) I’ve noticed it a lot during this trial- someone will make a sweeping statement that becomes accepted as fact when in fact it’s a distortion.

Actually, you CAN tell a lot by watching people carefully. So I give it some credence, while at the same time remembering that some of these body language “experts” are also playing for a teevee audience, and might embellish things somewhat for the sensationalism.

So glad the prosecutor is going after Dr. Spitz. Sort of made hash of him, in fact.
