Why is this copyright paranoia? There is no mention of who took that picture, neither on the image description page, nor in the original source. So there is no way for us to check the claim it is {{PD-USGov}}.
According to the other copyright claim, it is "public use" because it is "a picture introduced at a federal trial". If the uploader meant "public domain": I've not seen this before; I doubt it is true.
Maybe it's fair use. Maybe. But surely not in all 5 of the articles it is included in at the moment?
