It's difficult to ignore the media attention surrounding the Robert Pickton trial at the moment, especially working on the news shift at channel m. It's hard to believe that it's been five years since Pickton was arrested at his Coquitlam farm. I was asked if I was interested to do the courtroom sketches for the first day of the trial, but didn't feel that my sketching abilities were fast enough or good enough. In any case, somebody else from graphics was able to help out, and did an incredible job. By all accounts, the first day ran the gamut from tedious to gruesome. He is on trial for the deaths of 26 women, but has confessed to killing 49.
At any rate, I'm sure a lot of stories are going to unfold during this trial. It's going to be interesting to find out how something like this could go on for so long (nearly 20 years) without the RCMP finding out about it.
