Well, I was wondering that while reading some articlesa about The Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Today we'll se the list of his "clients". It should be wild.
Anyway, back to the drawings in courts.
I did a quick research and what I found out is
Courtroom sketching in the United States originated in response to the media circus surrounding the 1935 kidnapping and murder of the young son of aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh. After stacks of film cameras and flash-equipped devices, along with hundreds of journalists, crowded the court, disrupting the peaceful proceedings, the legal association ABA imposed a ban on filming and photographing. This way, daily newspapers and chronicles were deprived of a crucial element in modern media – "pictures." The search for alternative means of communication began.
Despite technological advancements and changes in camera regulations, courtroom sketch artists continue to play a significant role in visually representing court proceedings. Experts emphasize that courtroom sketches have unique advantages, allowing for better focus on essential elements and capturing the emotions and attitudes of the participants. Despite ongoing discussions about reintroducing cameras to federal courts, sketch artists maintain popularity and recognition for their ability to capture the essence of legal processes.
And that's that.

Nah, AI did this.You reminded me to put that in the description. Thanx.
It seems to me that the sketch artists give us a unique view of the trial with that ability they have to capture emotions that AI or cameras might distort a bit, although I don't understand that Deep and Amber Heard's trial was televised as a reality show or something, I guess because it's a Hollywood thing.
