“The courtroom drawing shows a teenage defendant being brought into the courtroom by a Marshal, a type of municipal<br />

law-enforcement officer who escorts prisoners. The defendant, a person accused of a crime who has been held in prison<br />

awaiting trial, is very young and slight. He is Black and he looks frightened, confused, and above all deeply betrayed that<br />

this is happening to him. Looming over him is a courtroom Marshal in uniform, <strong>with</strong> a badge, and behind the Marshal<br />

is the US Flag.”<br />

My courtroom drawings are very different from my performer drawings. My birth name was Rachel Ketchum, and that’s<br />

the name I worked under. Courtroom artists are freelancers hired by TV stations, not by the court.<br />

I worked for a Minneapolis CBS tv station called WCCO, and some of the reporters I worked <strong>with</strong> are still there, like Esme<br />

Murphy. Her byline is on this piece where WCCO reporters interviewed witnesses of George Floyd’s murder, including a<br />

child who was there.”<br />
