Celeb Courtroom Sketches
New book chronicles Hollywood trials
You never saw the jury look in horror at pictures of Nicole Brown Simpson's bloody body. TV cameras were prevented from recording the moment. But Mona Shafer Edwards, a legendary courtroom artist, captured that moment and scores of others you never saw in her new book, 'Captured! Inside the World of Celebrity Trials.' The book is available at bookstores as well as Amazon.com and Barnes&Noble.com.

Michael Jackson seemed amused in his 1996 civil trial, unphased that he was being sued for allegedly defrauding producers of the TV show, 'Jackson Family Honors.' Jackson allegedly duped producers by not performing solo during the show. The jury ruled against The King of Pop, to the tune of $2.6 million.
Frequent defendant Courtney Love appeared in a Beverly Hills court in 2004, charged with breaking and entering and assault. She was ordered into drug rehab.
Farrah Fawcett testified in 1998 against her then-boyfriend James Orr, who was charged with "battery in a dating relationship." Orr was found guilty and sentenced to community service.
Jennifer Aniston and then-husband Brad Pitt at the witness stand in 2002. Aniston sued a photogpraher who climbed a tree and snapped topless photos of Jen in her backyard. The court awarded the 'Friends' star $550,000 in damages.
In one of the most entertaining cases ever, Dolly Parton was sued in 1985 for allegedly ripping off the song '9 to 5.' Parton took the stand, guitar in hand, and treated the courtroom to a concert. The jury sided with Dolly.
Alec Baldwin was prosecuted for allegedly assaulting a photographer in 1998 who ambushed the star and then-wife Kim Basinger as they brought their daughter home from the hospital after her birth. Baldwin was found not guilty.
Who can forget the riveting case of People vs. O.J. Simpson? Cameras did not record the jury's reaction as they viewed the almost decapitated body of Nicole Brown Simpson in 1995, but courtroom artist Mona Shafer Edwards did.
