Court Illustration by Elizabeth Williams of Andrea Sanderlin flanked by her attorneys Joel and Corey Winograd, far left is AUSA David Pitluck, in the rear is the US Marshal.
In Brooklyn Federal Court they still wear shirts with the Marshal's seal. But in Manhattan Federal, their uniform is jacket and tie, which makes it hard to discern sometimes, who is who.

Sanderlin came to court, not a bit of make up, in drab prison garb, flushed face, with her blonde hair at times almost covering the entire side of her face. Good thing we could get a glimpse of her when she moved a bit.  Then it was over and she was gone.

APPLE eBOOK Anti-Trust Trial: Summations to Judge Cote

Today the lawyers gave their summations in the US v Apple eBook anti-trust trial.
First Orin Snyder, who is the lead attorney for Apple,  gave his summation  to Judge Cote.
At the end of his presentation, an Apple iPad animation appeared on the screen with the final words from 
his summation, in the form of an eBook. The pages turned as he spoke his final words
showing off the page curl feature of the eBook. The judge took note, as did everyone else:-)
