This is Attorney Michael Whipple, a defense attorney. He is making his closing statement. There is very little time to capture each personality, and developing a good memory for details is important. Defense attorneys are determined to create doubt in the juries' minds. We truly have an amazing judicial system. The defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
These renderings are painted with pastels. The courtroom has a rather dramatic lighting system. The figures are sprinkled with highlights.
