From Charles Manson to O.J,
Michael Jackson to the Son of Sam, the drawings of courtroom artists
capture the most dramatic, and sometimes the most moving and fleeting,
images of the biggest trials of modern times.
In
1970, Charles Manson was tried in a Los Angeles courtroom for the
murder of actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant, and six other
women. With no photographers allowed, the public relied on the words of
reporters, describing the gruesome details and decisions held within
the sanctified walls. For the really theatrical moments, however, the
action was conveyed in illustrations by a group of courtroom artists
capturing the drama the world may have never seen.
