Ah, okay. Is the "priest" outfit some sort of traditional British barrister dress?

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.

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?

Paris Hilton, again
The trial is being heard by Chief U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno, who reacted with surprise when Hilton gave him a little wave before testifying. "I've never had a witness wave at me before," the judge cracked.In another exchange, Moreno was puzzled by the title of Hilton's current reality show, "My New BFF.""What does that mean?" he said. After Hilton gave the title — "Paris Hilton's My New Best Friend Forever" — the judge remarked "This will be my best case forever."Without missing a beat, Hilton replied "You're my best judge forever."At one point, Hilton was testifying about how full her schedule was during rehearsals for her next film, 2008's "The Hottie & The Nottie," when Moreno interrupted."Was it better than this one?" the judge said, referring to "Pledge This!"."It was really good," Hilton answered with a giggle. Along with the heels, Hilton wore an all-black sleeveless dress tied at the back and sported diamond rings and a bracelet.
