  • In an age where everyone's phone has a camera, why do we still rely on sketch artists to document trials?

    We sat down with Christine Cornell, a courtroom sketch artist who has been covering trials for over 40 years to talk about why even in an age where everybody's cellphones have cameras on them, we still often need artists to portray what happens in courtrooms.
    She has covered the trials of Bill Cosby, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart, and Martin Shkreli, as well as people like the Boston Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and El Chapo. She explains what it takes to be a courtroom sketch artist and how she think that compassion is one of the key traits artists must possess.
    She also gives a demonstration of her technique by drawing a portrait of Dean.

    I definitely prefer not allowing media into courts. I think the problem is that it can end up creating a narrative based more on happenstance reactions and emotional displays than actual court rulings. I mean the media is not unbiased and will latch onto a narrative that sells the most. Maybe that's deciding that someone is guilty, which can influence juries and even if they're found innocent it might influence public opinion. Especially if it's a high profile case where people might have politics or other personal issues mixed in. Imagine if Donald Trump faced another sexual harassment charge, Fox would absolutely do everything to make him innocent and the people charging him crazy or something. It would simply not be safe to challenge any high profile person because you would be sure that the media would absolutely chew you up and you'd probably end up receiving several threats. If we are to allow cameras it would definitely have to be professional photographers specializing in this field, just like court room artists who will only release one or two pictures. Not a portfolio from which the media can pick and choose whatever fits their narrative.

    Having artists present in a courtroom is so much more than just capturing moments and making memories, it is about bringing culture in the room of justice, people who are full of empathy, are objective and willing to show others the world through their own eyes. Cameras are great but they are never really capturing the feeling as a sketch artist can. At least this is my opinion. :)

    • @Gonnygbs
      @Gonnygbs 6 років тому +26

    • @flensdude
      @flensdude 6 років тому +5

      Gonzalo Bertrán Sitjar
      I don't know if I can agree with your statement.
      When and where a photograph is to be taken are also a very subjective acts. A photograph is also never an exact copy of reality; it's just a different attempt at approximating reality, like the work of an artist, and just because it looks more real, doesn't necessarily make it so. A photograph might contain more details of the objects in the frame, but might utterly fail to capture the atmosphere of human emotions in the room.
      To quantify the "realitiness" of a painting and a photograph is not an easy task, and without having done that, I don't think one can claim that the one is more "real" (i.e. less biased) than the other.

    • @SkeleCrafteronYT
      @SkeleCrafteronYT 6 років тому +3

      But photographs can be still biased if they don't specifically show context. Artists can squish a scene to show moments that lead to the reasons the emotions are portrayed in a photo while photographs can not (in some circumstances of course).

    • @heatherpowell1838
      @heatherpowell1838 6 років тому +1

      Gonzalo Bertrán Sitjar
      I would think courtroom transcripts are what we use for "less biased" recording of a court proceeding because they're the words used and nothing else. A photograph is the visuals and nothing else. Photos are still limited. Even video can't always accurately capture a moment. A sketch, however, is capable of catching visuals *and* emotion, and the emotion makes it more human imo because it captures what you would likely notice if you were there. Photos and videos capture everything regardless of how important it is, but sketches sort out the most important parts and draw attention to the things that matter most. How emotion is interpreted is up to the artist and that can be different person to person. I guess this could be biased? *But* she mentions towards the end of the video that there's more than one artist in the court room. Someone could look at all the sketches and draw their own less biased conclusions from there just like you would when researching a paper. You get multiple views (sketches) on the same subject (the people in the courtroom).

    She reminds me of my art teacher. I would love to have this job. I hope it still exists by the time I can.

    There could be 4 or 5 cameras stationed in the courtroom that would point at the witness stand, the jury box, the defence, the accused, the judge, and the floor where lawyers pace.

    I know Christine for many years. She is tops. Also a great gal...And I believe she was a young artist when Ida Libby Dengrove (the lady who wrote the book on courtroom artists) was still at work.

    She reminds me of this show on TV, they would read a children's book and an illustrator would draw while you listened to the story. It was pretty great really.
