        I’m just going to go out on a limb and assume the sketch artist makes money on Patreon selling custom Edward Cullen “art” and just couldn’t stop the habit.

        That’s not a real reason. Most courts are recorded, have stenographer and apparently sketch artists. There’s absolutely no reason for court sketch artists to exist in modern society. It’s just silly and wreaks of some conservative tradition.

          Those recordings are not available to the public though, right? Isn’t that the difference? Or am I just mislead here?

          I see why the tradition of it feels conservative. But I dunno. I think it’s cool. Seems like good culture.
