Yoko Ono, John Lennon's widow tweeted for gun control
This image says so much about this tragic event.
As court artists we see the aftermath of gun violence in court:
a weeping family member, horrible frightening testimony, an awful piece of evidence.
This photo shows what words can sometimes not describe.
Below is a piece of artwork by Aggie Kenny who, as a Lennon fan, was faced with the unpleasant assignment to draw the man who shot John Lennon, Mark David Chapman; seated with a copy of Catcher in the Rye. A copy of the novel was in Chapman's possession when he was arrested on December 8.
