His sketches tell a story with the stroke of a pencil, unfolding the history of some of the most well-known U.S. trials. Gary Myrick, an accomplished courtroom sketch artist who grew up in Fort Worth, has drawn scenes from trials such as the Darlie Routier trial to the infamous 1979 Cullen Davis murder trial.


Myrick's work dates back nearly 30 years and includes the 1981 trials of Vicki Daniels, a spouse-murderer, the trial of Cullen Davis, who allegedly murdered his ex-wife's lover, and the courtroom events surrounding Paul Fielding, a former Forth Worth City Councilman now in prison after pleading guilty for mail fraud and extortion. Myrick was also hard at work during the famous Branch Davidian incident, drawing the arraignments in Waco. He's sketched judges, witnesses, experts, defendants, spouses, and family members of defendants, and even Paula Jones, who levied sexual (abuse) charges against President Clinton. He has even drawn the United States Supreme Court for ABC News.


When he worked, people would often look over his shoulder as he drew the major players, and he's been known to attract a crowd during court recesses.


He is now looking for a sponsor and public place to display and archive his numerous pieces.

To My Daughter On Her 4th Birthday

August 2004 Dear McKenna: I've been debating what to write for your annual birthday letter wanting to give you bright, happy thoughts. I can't believe you're going to be four years old on the 15th. It seems like only a blink away I saw you swaddled in white in the hospital. I'm so glad you have such a great family inVicki and Larry. Vicki loves you so much and sends me emails all the time about how you're doing. Larry taped your first dance recital recently which I can't wait to see. They tell me you're having your party at the water park that you love. I know you'll have a blast. In my usual tradition I'll be releasing the balloons at the park where we had Placement - four of them this year. I'll watch them float up to the sky and again wish you a happy birthday as the balloons climb higher and higher into the clouds. My once deep sorrow has now turned into heartfelt happiness knowing that you enjoy a new, good life each day with your adoptive p...

Merged Life

By Terri Rimmer Born into an alcoholic family as the youngest of four girls I had no idea of the abuse that would come to torment my life for 14 years. Both my mother and father were harsh abusers, my father sexually, my mom physically. How can a young girl possibly grow into a health adolescent when what she knows about life is taught by the hands of a sick man and mother intent to poison? I may not ever understand, but perhaps that is my journey. I always knew I wanted to be a writer when in the third grade I got an A plus on a short story I wrote. I loved it and wrote every chance I got at my dadÂ’s encouragement and the feeling and dream reverberated in my soul, refusing to leave me ever. When I was 8 I was devastated to learn of my parents divorcing and to add insult to injury my mom left my sisters and me with our dad. My older sister, Cindy became my hero. She fluffed my pajamas in the dryer before bed, sewed my Girl Scout badges on my uniform, comforted me when the ...
