Why is Lisa Kudrow pouring water on a priest? Is that Paul MacCartney next to her?
― Tuomas, Monday, 29 June 2009 19:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Next to the priest, I mean.
There's a link to the explanation 6 posts later: she's his lawyer and Lisa Kudrow is his ex-wife.

Ah, okay. Is the "priest" outfit some sort of traditional British barrister dress?
― Tuomas, Monday, 29 June 2009 19:48 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't think it is, but it is quite strange: http://img.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/03_03/McCartney1703_468x849.jpg

hey, pleasant plains. do you know john kushmaul (sp?)? he was a courtroom sketch artist for a time here for the local tv station he used to work for. forget which one.

How can one get a job doing courtroom sketches? I wld be very good at it.

I know John well. He was a sketch artist for the Susan McDougal trial. I tried to find one of his, but none of them are online. He was on CNN and everything! There was another trial he sketched for, though I can't remember what it would have been. Something federal here in town.
Abbot, our friend just grabbed a seat in the gallery, drew his sketch and sold it to the networks. He had to show up pretty early, and I don't know what kind of arrangements he went through to get all of his art stuff in there.
― Pleasant Plains, Monday, 29 June 2009 20:02 (fourteen years ago) link
Huh! Maybe I could just do it for fun.

You're way too good for this, Abbott. But maybe it could be a way to get noticed?

I also only just learned that these people don't actually work for the court. Outside the court today there was a sketch on a stand right in front of the door and a camera crew all around it -- I guess they didn't want to wait until they got the drawing back to the studio or something. It was very surreal looking though.

Does anyone understand the perspective in this one? Is the bald officer sitting to the right of the Dutch terrorist or behind him?

Wait, why does the witness get to look at a computer screen?
