The picture taken from what appears to be the jury box shows Kelly sitting with crossed legs in the witness stand, looking towards the ceiling. The court stenographer is also in the frame, his face slightly blurred from being caught in motion.
Kelly has claimed that the blows he dealt to Ray Raymond were in self defense, and were not what caused the comedian's death. Kelly has confessed his love for Raymond's widow, Dorothy Mackaye.
Photograph appears with the article, "Self-Defense Excuse Given," Los Angeles Times, 19 May 1927: A2.
