In a rare and captivating opportunity for fans and collectors alike, a selection of original courtroom sketches from Michael Jackson’s 1996 civil trial are now up for grabs. Created by renowned courtroom artist Steve Werblun, these vivid illustrations capture a striking and unexpected side of the King of Pop — one not from a stage or a studio, but from the bench of justice.
The sketches chronicle a fascinating moment in Michael Jackson’s storied career, when he found himself at the center of a lawsuit surrounding the 1994 televised special “Jackson Family Honors.” The show promised viewers a rare solo performance from Michael, but when the moment never came, producers sued for fraud, claiming Michael Jackson misled them.
Despite the seriousness of the charges, Werblun’s drawings depict Michael in good spirits, appearing amused and unfazed throughout the proceedings.
Ultimately, the jury ruled against Michael Jackson, awarding the plaintiffs $2.6 million. Yet the trial remains a lesser-known chapter in his history and one now immortalized in these expressive, hand-drawn illustrations.
Steve Werblun, whose career spans decades covering high-profile trials across the United States, is offering a limited number of these original sketches for sale. Each one is a one-of-a-kind piece of Jackson memorabilia, historic, artistic, and deeply personal.
For fans, historians, and serious collectors, this is an extraordinary chance to own a piece of Michael Jackson’s legal legacy, seen through the eyes of an artist who captured him in a rare and candid light.
