Statement Analysis of Casey Anthony Police Interview Part I


    Do you think Casey Anthony is a great liar?  Do you think she is even a good liar?


    She is not.  Statement Analysis will prove it to you. 


    She is a great performer but as you will see using Statement Analysis, she makes it easy to catch her lies. 
    She is consistent in her deception and following the same principles used everywhere, we find that very little of what Casey says is true. 


    Here is how:  


    Casey Anthony drops pronouns when she does not want herself in a sentence, indicating deception. 


    Casey Anthony uses reflected language, which reduces the stress of lying.  This is why open ended questions are best. 


    Casey Anthony slips into present tense verbs when describing past tense events because she is making them up as she goes along; they do not come from experiential memory. 


    Casey Anthony's most common form of deception comes from sentences where she gives additional needless words which all have one thing in common:


    Attempt to persuade rather than simply answer the question.   


    This is her number one method of lying and she does it with impunity.  She does it so often that it almost seems surreal.  If we were to take every sentence where Casey piles on additional information and declare them all to be deceptive, even if there are no other indicators, we would still have a high success rate. 


    If we instead take every sentence that has needless additional information that also contains a sensitivity indicator and declare it to be deceptive we would be close to 100% accurate, if not 100%. 


    Casey Anthony is a great actress and performer. 


    Casey Anthony is not a great liar.  




    Statement Analysis is in bold type.  Any emphasis added is by author and not in original.  These transcripts come from http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0809/12/ng.01.html


    This is Casey Anthony and by now facts have revealed that she was lying.  Here, we can see how using red flags demonstrate the sensitivity indicators found in deceptive language.  (   )  would indicate a missing pronoun and is added to highlight deception and will be in bold type.


    CASEY ANTHONY, MOTHER OF MISSING TODDLER: (INAUDIBLE) at the apartment, at the stairs.

    UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. So you just walked her -- you dropped her off and...

    CASEY ANTHONY:   (   )  Walked her to the stairs. That`s where I`ve dropped her off a bunch of other times. It wasn`t  just that day.

    Note that dropped pronouns should be flagged as they show that the subject does not place herself there, indicating sensitivity.  Consistent sensitivity should be considered deceptive.  Consistent dropped pronouns will show deception, including that the subject did not go there.  In this place, Casey Anthony says "walked her to the stairs."  She does not say that she, herself, walked her to the stairs, making this sentence unreliable.  Note also that "walked her" is reflected language, not Casey's own.  The interviewers gave her the language, and this is why open ended questions are best.  


    "Casey, what happened that day?  Tell us from the beginning when you woke up" would have allowed Casey to start the story when and where she wanted and she would have chose her own language.  We now know that murder took place, so it would be the murder in her mind, therefore, in her words.  By NOT giving Casey words to speak, she would have to choose her own.  This is a repeated mistake throughout the interview/interrogation.

    The primary form of deception by Casey Anthony is additional information.  Casey will do this, at times, in every sentence.  When it is present repeatedly, it should be flagged for deception.  Note "that" day shows distance; not something we would expect to see from a mother who's child is "kidnapped".

    We heard this from George Anthony on the jail house tape, which is unusual.  "We have to find that little girl" which suggests distancing:  George likely knew she was dead when he spoke these words.  From an innocent family, we would hear "this" if "this or that" is used, and more likely Caylee's name in those settings, not a pronoun.  (a nickname or term of endearment would be appropriate in that setting as well)



    UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. And when you dropped her off, who took (ph) her at that point?

    CASEY ANTHONY: Zanny did.

    I got off of work, left Universal, driving back to pick up Caylee, like a normal day. And I show up to the apartment, knock on the door, nobody answers. So I call Zenaida`s cell phone and it`s out of service.


    1.  "left universal has no pronoun. 
    2.  We highlight "left" as missing information since it is used as a connecting verb.  When "left" is used as a connecting verb, it is 70% likely due to time/traffic/rushing, and 30% sensitive withholding.  If there are other sensitivity indicators, it is in the 30% range.  Here, due to the inclusion of other sensitivity indicators, it is critical information missing as a means of deception. 
    3.  "driving back" is present tense; unreliable and is because Casey is making this up as she goes along. 
    4.  Flag "normal".  When someone feels to tell us that a day is normal, it is anything but.  If someone says that they themselves are "normal", it is an indication that they have been called or labeled "abnormal" sometime prior.  
    5.  "And":    when it begins a sentence will have missing info
    6   "I show up" is present tense:  unreliable.  The event was past tense and so the statement should have been past tense.  This is the 2nd present tense verb already meaning that she is deceptive. 
    7.  Note the present tense verbs continue:  Casey is making this up as she goes along.  Perhaps this is where people feel that she is talented in her lies, but slipping into present tense language is something the trained ear will pick up:  when it is repeated, the listener should then label this as unreliable.  If there is consistent use of present tense, the listener should consider that the subject is making up the information as she goes along. 
    8.  The name is used prior to an introduction which is usually considered an indicator of a poor relationship but here, due to the all the other indicators (7) in such a short time, the listener would know that she is lying.  The fact that Zanaida is a made up person would not be known at this time, instead the listener would have probably concluded that Zanaida was being lied about.  That Zanaida was not a real person would have been difficult to discern, but once suspicions arose of her very existence, the listener would then have listened for abundance of needless details and realized that something was very wrong.  Note how rich with deception this short statement is.  

    After about 7:00 o`clock, when I still hadn`t heard anything, I was getting pretty upset, pretty frantic, and I went to a neutral place. I didn`t really want to come home. I wasn`t sure what I`d say about not knowing where Caylee was. And I ended up going to my boyfriend, Anthony`s, house.

    1.  "after about" is two estimates together, a strong indication of deception.  
    2.  Note "hadn't" reports what did not happen; flagged as sensitive. 
    3.  Note not only the inclusion of emotions in the "perfect" or logical place in the story, but note that the emotions are doubled!  This means that:  1.  emotions in the logical place of a story indicate deception, but also: 2.  That she doubles the emotions gets flagged again for deception.  
    3.  Note that "neutral place" is not explained and is additional information.  Note that "neutral" appears to be a word she introduced so it should be considered highly important.  (Unless the detectives had told her that where this interview took place was "neutral", this word should be explored).  What makes a place "neutral"?  Who is taking sides?  This is significant if she perceives opposition and neutrality in the case of 'kidnapping'. 
    4.  Note "didn't want" is in the negative; flagged as sensitive
    5.  Note "didn't really want" has additional qualifier.  Abundance of qualifiers means hedging, which is what Casey does all the time.  
    6  Negation theme continues:  she "wasn't" sure what to say about "not knowing"   The repetition of negatives shows sensitivity upon sensitivity upon sensitivity and is deception.
    7.  "ended up" is passive, meaning that it just happened, and she is not taking responsibility.  This is flagged as sensitive. 


    The indicators of sensitivity are one upon another upon another and so on. 


    This is like deception on steroids.  This is not skillful lying. 



    She`s with someone that I absolutely do not trust, and I am absolutely scared that...

    This is another easy method to know that Casey is lying.  She qualifies with extremes (like the use of hyperbole).  "Absolutely" is one of her most overused words.   "Absolutely" by itself would have been flagged as sensitive in anyone's statement, meaning that it has emotional attachment or importance to it, but then it is repeated.  Repetition is flagged as sensitive, giving us two sensitivity indicators in one sentence which would catch our attention even in this short sentence. 

    UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That you don`t trust, yet was baby-sitting your daughter for a year?


    Here, the detective caught the inconsistency.

    CASEY ANTHONY: I don`t trust her now because of what happened.

    1. "now" is an additional word she added since she got caught.
    2.  "because" is flagged as we highlight "so, since, because, therefore, etc" as sensitive since they tell us "why" something happened rather than simply telling us "what" happened.
    3.  "what happened" is passive language.  She should have said "because she kidnapped Caylee" rather than the softer, minimizing language of "what happened"   Any one by itself would not be considered deceptive, but in this one short sentence made up of only 8 words we have 3 indicators of sensitivity and can safely conclude that this sentence is a lie.


    We will continue with this interview in Part 2, but already in just a few short answers, we have an abundance of analysis due to the high levels of sensitivity indicators, compounding to the easy conclusion of deception detected. 


    Casey Anthony is not a great liar. 


    As we continue, we will learn whether or not she should even be considered a good liar, or is it that she just gives a great performance.
