Courtroom sketches

If you imagine the blue bit to be the officer's jeans, rather than the terrorist's chair.

I think I'll start bringing Prismacolors to work and doing these as practice.

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

I think that's one of the judges (black toga, just like the other one)

Dutch judges look like this:

Isn't there a person in court who writes down everything that's being said? Maybe that's him.

The STENOGRAPHER, a damn fine job.

Lawyers wear those togas too (same accused, same sketcher)

Mohammed B., the guy who killed Theo van Gogh

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.

Any good new ones?

Well, since you asked, Ned.

Dude at bottom right is from Metaluna, I think.

If you could get in touch with a courtroom sketch artist and get them to draw a picture of you and your family in a courtroom setting in a courtroom sketch style, that might make a good birthday/anniversary present.

(is this a genuine courtroom sketch? was this the standard style for courtroom sketches in mid-1970s California? I know the apple thing did happen, but is this a courtroom sketch or an illustration from somewhere else?)
