Hi Jessica,

Loved this piece ! Such interesting insights to the thoughts of these artists. I have a friend here in Las Vegas who has done some courtroom sketching for high profile cases. He is a terrific sketch artist but not of the same caliber as your gals. He didn't do it for a living. Anyway, I will forward your article to a couple of friends who will enjoy it.....I am sure.

Wow! I absolutely love this essay and perspective from these women! Everyone has been fixated on what’s going on in court; sure, that’s very important, but I’m also intrigued by these fabulous women showing us what’s happening inside the courtroom. Thank you for this look inside their lives and day-to-day experience. This is why I’ve appreciated Liza Donnelly so much during this trial.

"Cornell was hesitant to draw him sleeping early on, she said, because well, who hasn’t fallen asleep in court?" So, she's editorializing by omission? I thought the assignment was capturing what's in front of them, not, in effect, making a news judgment.
