The work of courtroom artist Elizabeth Cook (photos)
ELIZABETH Cook is courtroom artist. You know her work. It’s on the telly and in the papers. Cook is one of only three court artists working in the UK. She’s not allowed to draw in court. She produces her work from memory and notes. And she needs to work fast. We’ve compiled a gallery of it. Can you name the cases? And take note of the faces of those around the accused. The police can be judgemental:

ALL TV OUTCourt artist Elizabeth Cook's impression of Sion Jenkins (L) in the dock at the Old Bailey, London, Thursday february 9, 2006, being confronted by, Bill Jenkins and Maggie Costener (above), the father and aunt of Billie-Jo Jenkins after hearing that the jury failed to reach a verdict in his murder trial. Former deputy head teacher Sion Jenkins walked free today when a jury failed to reach a verdict over the murder of his foster daughter Billie-Jo. A second jury has failed to reach a verdict today on a charge that former deputy headteacher Jenkins murdered his teenage foster daughter Billie-Jo. The 12-strong panel had been trying since last week to agree but gave up today despite being told by judge Mr Justice David Clarke that he would accept a 10-2 majority decision. Two Old Bailey juries within the space of less than a year have now failed to reach verdicts after two retrials. See PA story COURTS Jenkins. PRESS ASSOCIATION photo.
