Maybe they smile because they know that these photos will be used in the media and could influence the jury. Maybe these crims have foresight: project a good image in the mugshot and it might help later.

Or maybe they are just egotists who cannot resist a camera.

I'd say only about half of them are smiling with their eyes (which is a good predictor of it being a genuine smile). That's still pretty impressive.
