Curtis Allgier is led from court after being sentenced to multiple prison terms Wednesday December 5, 2012 in Salt Lake City.
This one started off pretty rough. The assignment read something like,
The judge might kick you out of the courtroom if you take too many photos.
Weird, I’d never had a problem. But before I knew it, I was directed to sit in the gallery, right next to the victim’s many family members. It’s a horrible position, shooting from behind. For the first ten minutes or so all I could do was try to shoot through the tiny gap between two of the many officers in the courtroom providing security.
I shot what I could when Allgier stood at the podium and addressed the judge, but all I had was back.
But then Allgier turned and spent a long time apologizing to the family for his actions.
And the horrible position the judge had put me in turned out to be the optimum position in the entire courtroom.
