Item Description
Each is 17.5x23" on heavy tanned paper. Included are: sketch of the jury with hand written caption by the artist; portrait of Felt and sketch of former President Richard Nixon testifying as Thomas Kennelly, lawyer for the defense, and Federal District Court chief judge William B. Bryant look on. In 1978 Felt along with Edward Miller and Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray, were indicted for approving illegal wiretaps, mail interception and 'black bag job' break-ins targeting members of the militant left-wing radical group the Weather Underground. Felt was convicted of violating the civil rights of group members on Nov. 6, 1980. He was pardoned by President Reagan and many years later was revealed to be "Deep Throat", the mysterious government informant who fed information that eventually forced President Nixon to resign to Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein. Since no cameras were allowed during the trial these images are among the only visual records of the proceedings. Minor handling wear but each has been well preserved. NM displaying Mint. See Lot #152 for artist biography.
