Brad Pitt was his stand in, can't you tell?

I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume the sketch artist makes money on Patreon selling custom Edward Cullen "art" and just couldn't stop the habit.

Holy shit the pic with Caroline Ellison is amazing lmao

Sketch artist: "No can do, but if you slip me a Bennie, I can make it look like you have a chin"

He should have asked to sketch artist to make him look not guilty.

sketch artist: "I'm good, but not that good"

...why are courtroom sketch artist still a thing?

Because it's usually not allowed to take pictures in court

That's not a real reason. Most courts are recorded, have stenographer and apparently sketch artists. There's absolutely no reason for court sketch artists to exist in modern society. It's just silly and wreaks of some conservative tradition.

I don't think providing steady employment to a local artist is the worst thing taxes support.

If we're gonna be handing out money for totally worthless tasks, oh boy imma be rich

Be real, bro, you already do that.

Those recordings are not available to the public though, right? Isn’t that the difference? Or am I just mislead here?

I see why the tradition of it feels conservative. But I dunno. I think it’s cool. Seems like good culture.

But why? Seems arbitrary and antiquated

Think it's to protect the identities of people

It's working well, I definitely do not know it's trump Jr there.

Take comfort knowing the sketch artist made him look like Jack Smith’s brother.

Well if the artist honored that request they wouldn't have gotten a likeness

His fellow prison inmates will certainly find him sexy. Don’t drop the soap Donnie!

  1. Rape isn't funny.
  2. This isn't even a criminal trial.

Stop embarrassing yourself.
