Courtroom Artists

Now that the Art and Science of Photography is perfected, with film and cameras available for all applications, why do Courtrooms still employ Artists?

Because it does not allow the "O.J. Simpson" effect to affect public opinion as much, just as Court Reporters are still used in many places instead of just recording the audio.

 

What is the O.J. Simpson effect?

Thanks,
