That's exactly how he comes across and strikes me too. Like he is chafing at the thought they think they can cuff him, charge him, control him, have any say in anything. He has to win and he didn't on the child support and court thing with her finally... So it ramped up, he was still going to win by harming her, probably terrorizing her I would not doubt one bit and killing her. I think he borderline has just enough, hardly, control to know to try to not say anything in court but I think it about killed him to answer the judge and try to come across as a normal human being. He managed it but you notice you never hear a "sir". NOT that you have to say sir, but it isn't uncommon or unwise to do that in court... He is answering what he has to and makes the attempt to use the child as the excuse for not waiving extradition.
The sheriff who also said he was a jerk and uncooperative also guessed he wouldn't waive extradition and he was right.
I seriously doubt there is any way he can see his daughter by staying in jail there or have any say or effect on her placement anyhow but he uses her as an excuse.
When one considers he was noncompliant, entirely not helpful during questioning or attempts to locate Cassie and a real jerk, we know or I think can assume in court he was likely seething and it was all he could do to contain his normal ways. If he saw that PC, he is furious with that sheriff who called him what he was, mentioned getting the needle and as much as predicted he would be an arse and refuse to waive extradition. And he did so he needed an excuse and used Saylor. His games aren't working and he hates being seen for what he is imo That long read above on Cassie's case gives a pretty clear picture of his type imo.
I can't entirely decide about his looking at his cuffs and all his movements but I think it was intentional is where I lean... A subtle or maybe not so subtle message...
People seem to think he was emotional when speaking of his daughter. Did you think so? I didn't see much real emotion imo...
