Turner Trail Painting Four

Whenever I can I watch a little bit of a trial to steal ideas from other lawyers and to sketch. I've posted about this trial before. It involved a young woman accused of beating a child to death. The person in the foreground is a local defense lawyer and in the background is the judge that presides over the trial.

Pre Trial Motion 1

I had to wait around in court for a number of hours yesterday. While waiting I sketched. The vantage point for most of my court room art is usually from behind the bar. Since this wasn't a jury trial, I sat in the jury box along with the other lawyers. These lawyers had filed a motions to suppress evidence (drugs and money)and they were listening to the primary officer testimony. I like this vantage point because it offers the opportunity to see the subjects better.
