See coverage at <a href="http://www.kare11.com/news/local/4th-somali-minnesota-pleads-guilty-to-terror-charges/40450230">KARE 11</a>. Here's a sketch from the afternoon hearing:<br />

I particularly enjoyed sketching AUSA John Docherty who spoke at the first hearing. Docherty was the <a href="http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/zimmermann-bribery-trial-opens-minneapolis/">prosecutor at the trial of Dean Zimmermann</a> nearly ten years ago. He was also on a war crimes prosecution team at the Hague. I've never been able to get a likeness, but I think this comes close:<br />
