How absolutely selfish and utterly disgusting for him to say, "My life is over," after he had run over so many people.

[@LorraineRarich]

exactly yes the judge had patience of a saint. And process while it can win in the end, is whittled to an uncomfortable needle in the haystack of insanity and disorder which this tramp of a pseudo lawyer chose to use to rob any decorum which could be some cold comfort. Disgusting to allow any more of that.

They were white. He didn’t care.

[@cynthiatucker2147]

He said himself that he didn’t believe he hit “that many people”. Hitting one was too much. He tried everything possible to obstruct the process of the court. His behavior was atrocious. His tactics of intimidation of the judge and witnesses were irredeemable. I’m glad the woman who spoke during impact statements told him to stop rolling his eyes, etc. That she had been watching him on TV acting out and how disgusted she was. No one was in judge Dorow’s shoes. Despite what people criticized her for being too lenient, in time we were not there. She was up against a pure evil opponent. I know she prayed to God for patience and wisdom in handling Mr Brooks. She did an outstanding job making sure DB received a fair trial where there wouldn’t be enough evidence in appeal for a mistrial. If she had to go overboard in dealing with Brooks, then she did what she thought was right. TGBTG!

[@ndgrandma2124]

His statement of not thinking he hit that many people was just one more lie. An habitual liar, manipulator, predator, etc. Yes, Judge Dorow went out of her way to accommodate DB throughout the trial. At sentencing the heavy gavel was coming down and she was through with his yelling and ridiculous objections. I honestly believe he did not know how to spell 'pledge.' Happy Thanksgiving. @@cynthiatucker2147

@@cynthiatucker2147… Very well said! 👍 I agree with everything you just said. This man is a monster and his anger got the best of him because number one, he had a woman who is much more powerful than him that he had to answer to and number two, his anger and frustration were palpable. He had no idea what he was doing and the prosecution obviously did. Each time the prosecution did something he didn’t understand, he’d get angry and call “unfair.” It wasn’t unfair. It was the prosecution knowing what they could do, legally. His ignorance of the law is what ticked him off so much!

[@Teesquared00]

​@@illumination101I get the impression that was a very fine line to walk - if she'd put her foot down and taken a total no-nonsense approach, it's more likely DBs defense would get traction with unfair treatment claims. Perhaps a mistrial would have resulted, or perhaps it would have simply dragged out litigation at the expense of families. He is probably never getting out of prison and she continues to sit on the bench despite loosing the chief justice nomination. Still a win, even if imperfect.

[@Adventures-with-Sisters]

The absolute best part of this trial was when she handed down the sentence. A close second is when Darrell brooks held up to pictures and ask Erica Patterson if she recognize those pictures. And the way the male prosecutor shredded him and said Darrell brooks is a registered sex offender. Darrell brooks interrupted him because he didn’t want anybody to know that he was a registered sex offender and the prosecutor said I’m not done yet and Erica Patterson was let off the stand to never be seen again by Darrell brooks I have to believe that he only had her testify to one to say look at me I do what I want I argue with the judge, and since the last time you seen and talk to me, I became an attorney and two I think it was a chance for him to get to see her because I truly believe she did not contact him or write to him, and he wanted to see her because he told her happy birthday, and then became the Darrell brooks that we all knew

[@louisbouchard6869]

I Just hope that unlike the county jails, the prison system will ensure that the no contact order is enforced.

[@antoinettegray355]

Erika was the one he was charged with an convicted of raping because she was a minor. He is forbidden to contact her by law!

[@glendaharris4904]

Bingo....

[@rosalynjeffery9510]

When he realized all of that showing off for Erika and she didn't give 2 chits about him being in a suit and pretending that he's a laywer. He was like look I'm a good person now look at me. He knew she didn't want him anymore. When she was done the second time testifying, he wasn't interested in his other witnesses. He wanted to torcher jer.

[@trendywipp3715]

Has anyone else noticed the front windows of the red SUV were up initially, and then both are down at the end of the parade? I think he rolled them down as he was attacking the people so he could hear the screams. He got off on what he was doing IMO..

[@alley1433]

True & also, the front hood was damaged so bad. He had to look out to see ahead, as he kept hitting people while driving.

[@GorgonzolaChedda]

A couple people testified that he hung out the window and turned all the way around to see the carnage and bodies he left behind. One of Lee Owen's sons said that he saw him smiling with his head out the window.

I bet his prior lawyer are glad they did not have to represent him

[@IdeaPants365]

I know that Judge Dorow got a lot of flack for the number of things Brooks got away with, and a lot of people put it down to her former defense work. I think that she had a nearly impossible task: a clear psychopath who was psychologically capable of conducting his defense who was clearly doing anything that he could to delay the inevitable. She had to do what she could, within her authority as judge, to get the trial to its completion.

[@littleangel4780]

She was the only judge who put him away. I commend her!

[@louisbouchard6869]

Not only that but the judicial situation really tied her hands on what remedies should could use to counter his actions: 1) Criminal Contempt - What would 30 more days be to someone who is facing and got 6 Life sentences plus 700 years in prison and was in custody already. He would have continued knowing that the sentence was meaningless. 2) Civil Contempt - This is what Brooks actually wanted because he knew if he could get this, he could delay the trial indefinitely. Judge Dorow knew it too. Again, he was in custody to he would have simply refused to behave. 3) Bind and Gag - I kinda wish she would have done this during her sentencing remarks but in a way, it is probably good that she did not. During the trial, it would only have lead to a mistrial or an overturn because how could Brooks represent himself if he was bound and gagged. 4) Removal - A full removal would have again delayed the trial and rewarded Brooks. However, the Waukesha County Courthouse is brand new (I think it opened only 3 - 4 months prior to trial) and thus had state of the art technology. This allowed the judge to remove Brooks to another courtroom where should could mute him but at the same time, he could participate in his defense and represent himself. This was the best option she had to keep the trial moving and she used it. Now, as to Illinois vs Allen, the key words Brooks missed was "at least" when they mention the possibility judges have to remove contemptuous defendants such as Brooks. SCOTUS also said that no one solution would be the right one for all trials as each one is different. The SCOTUS justices were wise to give judges wide latitude in dealing with defendants like Brooks and I doubt he will win an appeal on being removed. In fact, if the courts allow arguments, it might be only to update Illinois v. Allen so that it covers modern courtrooms. Judge Dorow had a bad poker hand in this situation and yet she played to the best of her ability to win the pot at the end anyways.

[@glendaharris4904]

Not to mention making it impossible for an appeal.

[@SheriN1442]

After this trial I cannot understand why people call the death penalty cruel & unusual punishment! Why don't we ask the innocent ones injured and the families of those murdered by this monster if this is the case!

[@louisbouchard6869]

The problem is that Wisconsin executed one man 170 years ago in 1851 (the only state execution) and it was botched so bad that 2 years later, the state banned the death penalty and there is still not the legislative gumption to reinstate it.

[@laurellynn8496]

The fact that in the trial he tried to blame the auto manufacturer that it was the fault of the brakes or stuck gas pedal and his grams neglected to get it repaired. Such a POS

[@AnitaSouthall]

That alone put him in the driver's seat. Only a driver of that car 🚗 would know

[@arabashful650]

It is so incredibly tragic, not only for what he did, but that we as a community, as a nation, will show more guilt and more sorrow for HIS actions than HE ever will. Prayers for the victims of this tragedy, prayers for their loved ones, and God rest the souls of those who were taken from us on that day. May all afflicted, by the pain and suffering this man caused, find peace and hope this upcoming Christmas.
