five rough pencil sketches of different faces with annotations, Sketch of Claude Boisvert, who is described as having a heavy head, dark brown hair, smaller eyes, and large upper lip. Two small sketches of the heads of the female secretaries are presented in profile. One has short black hair and a dark blue blouse, and the other has long blonde hair, wears glasses, and is dressed in a brown suede suit. A small profile view of Jacques Ducros is included, and a sketch of a youth's head wearing a tuque., Claude Boisvert was the lawyer chosen by the court to adequately protect Rose's legal rights when the latter refused to choose a defense counsel. Boisvert, unlike a defense counsel, could not question witnesses, but could object to the Crown's conduct in the case. Boisvert did so on several occasions. Jacques Ducros was the Crown Prosecutor. The colours of the tuque were red, green and white, colours of Patriots of 1837, adopted by the F.L.Q.
