why do they still do those hand drawn courtroom images?
In: Other
Many courtrooms do not allow cameras or recording devices of any kind, so there is no way to get images from a trial for publication or broadcast. The idea is that without cameras, lawyers and witnesses will focus on the law and the case instead of how they will be represented in the media.
However, since trials are open to the public (by law) the next best thing is folks in the gallery who take notes on what is said during the trial and/or drawing pictures of key moments that can be then used for publication or broadcast.
