Cowed Kasab a picture of defeat
The copy says, Ajmal Kasab betrayed little emotion. But dejection was writ on his downcast face, defeat on his slouched shoulders of the most hated man in the country was oblivious to all the attention.
Then he quietly slid into the box and sat slumped on the bench, head resting on his hands. He not did not make any eye contact with anyone in court. Even when the judge dictated the reasons why he must be put to death, Kasab either stared at the ground or closed his eyes.

Every description of the man (highlighted here) says he was emotionally overwrought. Then how was he not betraying any emotions?
