Courtroom artwork of former Buncombe County reserve Sheriff Guy Penland
 

This pen and watercolor composite sketch by Skip Rohde depicts former Buncombe County reserve Sheriff Guy Penland as he stands by his attorney after his May 2008 conviction for extortion under color of law, conspiracy and money laundering. Skip Rohde (currently serving in Afghanistan) is one of the occasional artists (like K. Rudin) who are pressed into service by the media. They each bring their own style to convey what they saw in the courtroom.
