About the authors

Elizabeth Williams’ artwork has been published on the cover of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the New York Post and New York Newsday. In 1980, she began drawing courtroom scenes for the news media in Los Angeles. The Society of Illustrators in N.Y. and L.A, have chosen her work to be exhibited in their juried shows. Her illustration of Russian Spy Anna Chapman was chosen for Yahoo News Most Recommended List of news images. Her artwork has also been shown at The New York City Police Museum, John Jay School of Criminal Justice, N.Y., The William J Brennan Courthouse, NJ., and Conejo Art Museum, CA. The CUNY John Jay School of Criminal Justice Library acquired her entire folio of The Sean Bell trial for their collection. News media clients include NBC News (L.A. & N.Y.), CBS News N.Y., ABC News, Associated Press, WCBS, WNBC, WABC, KABC, ESPN, CNBC, CNN, Bloomberg News and Newsweek. She has been interviewed on Good Morning America, Brian Lehrer TV, BBC Radio and NPR.

Sue Russell is an award-winning journalist and the co-author of 2022’s “The Illustrated Courtroom: 50+ Years of Court Art” with artist Elizabeth Williams. She is also the author of “Lethal Intent,” a fact crime biography of executed serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Sue’s true crime book “Lethal Intent” (fully updated in 2013) is a Pinnacle Books “True Crime Classic.” It covers Wuornos’s eleven years on Death Row and her eventual execution and is currently available in Audible and eBook. “Lethal Intent” was first published in the U.S. in 2002 after being issued in the UK and Australia as “Damsel of Death”. Sue, who was present throughout Aileen Wuornos’ trial, witnessed Aileen being sentenced to death. Digging deep into the life of this rare female serial killer consumed Sue for two years. The result: a classic book as relevant now as then.
