About the Book

Silent Witness is the story of Chicagoan Verna Sadock, the courtroom sketch artist for NBC TV from 1969-2012. She covered every landmark trial there was, providing America with a way to put faces to the national news every night. She started with the Chicago 7 trial and finished with disgraced Governor Rob Blagojevich's. In addition, she was an outstanding landscape, seascape, and portrait artist, with her works hanging in major museums around the world.
Looking at her life, in conjunction with these famous trials, gives a clear picture of us as a nation and Verna as a groundbreaking woman in a previously all-men's world. The parallels are both unmistakable and fascinating.
Legal buffs will enjoy the details about the trials and her behind the scenes stories. If they were notorious and on trial, whether murderer, mobster, thief, predator, or corrupt official, chances are Verna was at the trial. Read what she has to say as a silent witness who heard and saw it all.

Liz is a graduate of Duquesne University and mother of a grown daughter. As a young girl, home for Liz was the suburbs of Philadelphia and then Chicago. Always inspired by the dream of living in a big city, however, she spent several years on Chicago's Near North Side before moving back to the suburbs with her black cat, Phoebe. Now she says short stays in the city recharge her and broaden her perspective. At home, she can often be found sitting on her tree-shaded deck, writing about topics and people of interest, or listening to a Chicago baseball game, hoping for the best!
