During testimony Oct. 31 in the penalty phase of the Joshua Komisarjevsky triple murder trial, defense attorneys submitted copies of drawings reportedly done by the defendant.




These are some of those drawings. There were released by the Connecticut Judicial Branch.

The top drawing was one Komisarjevsky did of his daughter, according to testimony. Numerous photos of Komisarjevsky as a child also have been released.

In other drawings Komisarjevsky drew buildings, according to testimony

 “I know Joshua is not a violent person by nature. He would not decide he is going to kill," Komisarjevsky's younger sister testified. The woman has testified that her brother sexually abused her when she was a child. Komisarjevsky, in addition to being convicted of killing three members of the Petit family, was found guilty of beating Dr. William Petit Jr. with a baseball bat.
