RIP to the legendary Andy Austin. Her work may not hang in museums, but plenty Chicago judges and lawyers have an Austin original hanging in their offices.
An amazing sketch artist, Andy could tell a story in prose, too. Check out her memoir, "Rule 53" chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2...

The tactics used are becoming common when cases involve progressive prosecutors. I worry it will serve as a deterrent to the next generation of prosecutors eager to fight for critical reforms.
