Summary

As the principal courtroom sketch artist for the New York Times and WABC in New York, Marilyn Church has covered many of our most infamous trials, from John Gotti and Mark David Chapman to Amy Fisher and Martha Stewart. With "The Art of Justice, she takes readers inside the courtroom for 30 sensational cases, with a cast of characters that's straight from the headlines: Bernhard Goetz, O. J. Simpson, Woody Allen, Sean "Puffy" Combs, the Son of Sam, the Central Park Jogger, and many, many others. In addition to brilliant full-color reproductions of Church's artwork, "The Art of Justice also includes compelling trial summaries by noted journalist Lou Young and a Celebrity Gallery featuring Mick Jagger, Don King, and Donald Trump in the courtroom. It's essential reading for true-crime fans!
