Juries should be careful about factoring in a defendant's behavior when deciding guilt or innocence. There have been plenty of cases of miscarriage of justice because the jury "didn't like" a defendant.
However, I'm not in court now, and Burke Ramsey is a freakazoid. I'm not suggesting he is guilty of a heinous crime because of his Dr. Phil appearance though. Nevertheless, there is a difference between "smiling when nervous" and Burke's consistently disturbing affect when speaking of the events surrounding his sister's murder. This goes back decades, since his first interview with a shrink.
Aw, poor little rich boy... who is pushing 30 years old. There is nothing normal about him.

You mean the uppity sing-song voice? I sometimes do that when talking about something very upsetting while also trying to keep the corners of my mouth upturned. It's to keep from crying. It's very wrong to judge someone as a 'freakazoid' based on something so silly and when you know next to nothing about them. There's no such thing as 'normal'. Everyone has different coping mechanisms and styles of speaking and communicating. I'm sure you have traits that make you seem like a 'freak' to others. Don't be so persecutory and judgmental.
