It was a quick read. I liked it and found it very interesting. The book shows the drawings done by this courtroom artist who has been in the courtroom for a crazy amount of famous court battles. It talks about OJ, Michael Jackson, Mel Gibson, Heather Locklear, Jennifer Aniston with Brad Pitt by her side, Bill Cosby’s sons killer, Winona Riders shoplifting trial, and many more. She certainly has had an interesting career. There were a lot of famous court cases I didn’t know much about.
