District Attorney Asa Keyes stands just left-of-center in a hallway. In front of him and to the right, a large box stands on its side. District Attorney Keys rests a hand onto the top side of the box and looks down towards it. Along the right side of the box, it reads, "HON. ASA KEYES DISTRICT ATTORNEY LOS ANGELES C[A]." In the background, doors line the hallway.
