Trial sketches

Maxwell breached that divide, attracting some attention for drawing the courtroom artists themselves. A meta sketch by Reuters artist Jane Rosenberg of Maxwell drawing her even went viral. Even once Williams discovered the defendant was drawing the artists, she stayed on her side of the divide, doing her own sketch of Maxwell at work but unbothered. Do what you want to. Williams said Maxwell would occasionally purposefully pose, something that actually served the artist's purposes.

The dynamic continued through the last day of the trial, when Maxwell seemed buoyed by a jury note hours before the verdict. All right. The prosecution's case revolved around four accusers, three who testified under pseudonyms or using just first names — Jane, Kate and Carolyn. The courtroom artists were instructed not to draw likenesses, which, for Williams, meant avoiding facial features.

Williams said she did notice Maxwell start to get slightly more agitated as the trial wore on, but her stoicism returned when the verdict was read. That was it. There was no other reaction. Her exits could also leave an impression, including her final one as she strode out of the courtroom after the verdict.

And she was walking ahead of them. It was stunning. It was like just, what a finality to the whole thing. Copyright The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed without permission.
