A newspaper-sourced version of this picture https://freshlyworded.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/michael_hess_lawyer.jpg was previously uploaded for use in the infobox; I removed it a few years back as "clearly concocted" i.e. a fake image in my view (head too large for the body, lighting discrepancies between head and remainder of picture). However it does appear as the "official government portrait" (in a slightly cleaner version) in the Sixsmith book, photo section between pp. 264 and 265. What do people think, add it back or not? There are other (non public domain as well) images out there, but all informal shots and not really reflective of his legal career/status. Thoughts?

OK, despite my misgivings as detailed above, I have added the image back to the infobox (better copy), with most of the slightly weird (to my eye) body portion cropped out. Presuming that the head portion of the image is genuine (and I have no reason to think that it is not), the remainder, even if unreal, is not too distracting...
