Back in court. Cook County Courthouse, Skokie, IL, the Honorable F. Andreou presiding, Officer Valenza of the Cook Co. Sheriff Police, Cook Co. Clerk BH. Went to cover a specific case, the defendant was still incarcerated and trial date got moved. Stuck around to draw and watch proceedings which were a combination of Zoom meetings and and one witnessed that actually appeared in the courtroom.
I logged into the Zoom feature so I could see close ups of the judge, defendants, witnesses, and counsel but my very expensive iPhone kept dropping the signal. As a result, didn’t get the best representation of Judge Andreou nor Clerk BH but the attending lawyers and Deputy Valenza all felt the officer was clearly identifiable. One lawyer comment that I even got his salt ‘n’ pepper at the temples.
