LIVE: Day 4 - WI v. Darrell Brooks - Waukesha Christmas Parade Trial

[@franktripodi8586]

Brooks keeps saying, where's the injured party? Why doesn't the judge say, Mr Brooks the injured party cannot speak because they are deceased.

Often what he’s asking the witnesses to verify aren’t even their own statements, they’re the reports that someone else has made after having a conversation with the witnesses. He doesn’t seem to be able to differentiate.

It would be easier to fold up and let this vile man put words unto their mouths or follow his narrative so it would be all over but they have been through too much horror to roll over. One thing that absolutely fills me with disgust is when he pretends to dry a tear and announces that he needs a minuet as if he needs to compose himself.

I completely agree with your take. The self control of some of these witnesses are amazing. I . have a hard time holding back telling him just what I think about him re victimizing these folks. I wouldn't want to be the cause of a mistrial so the self restraint by these victiims is remarkable. He asked the father of two children about a financial interest in his crime because the father applied for assistance with the medical bills. Another witness, a grandfather was being questioned by this bozo and he was reluctant to answer because his grandchildren needed counseling after losing a team mate who was intentionally murdered by this defendant. The grandpa mentioned confidenciality which the judge ruled against. I felt that some of the judges decisions were more lenient with this murderer. I understand she's trying to prevent him from having grounds for an appeal. That would put these good people through this incident a third time. God help victims in these times.

At least Bundy had studied law, this moron is just winging it.

[@mollycuddle9990]

The judge was rather fond of ted though. At the end he had some rather choice complimentary words with respect to the way he’d represented himself.

[@shakergroovethang989]

He thinks he's the smartest one in the room.

[@maryb6672]

To be fair, Bundy was actually intelligent. A psychopath but intelligent. This defendant only has 1 common trait w/Bundy & it’s definitely not the intelligence factor.

Yes I agree. Mr. Rodgers was great. 🙏🏾s to all the families and the whole community of Waukesha.

[@lilaterrell5335]

I don’t know why they couldn’t tell him the plaintiff is the 6 people you killed and the people you hurt, and the state of Wisconsin is represented them. I truly don’t know why she wouldn’t say that to him when he brought that up

[@sheilahunt2298]

Dumbell can represent his “client”, but the DA can’t represent the plaintiff lol, he’s beyond ignorant

[@Inbetweenthelinesnow]

That would be EXPLAINING the law to him, for one. AND he’d still repeat it over and over. Just like SMJ! 🙄

I would really like to know what went through DB mind as he watches himself run through and over all these people? He watches so intently. Makes me think he's remembering doing it almost as he's remembering some discrete romantic interlude. Then he tries to look sheepish about it like taking a moment of silence for his victims. Disgusting.

[@mollycuddle9990]

Is he though? I do wonder if when felons represent themselves, if that should free up attorneys time who would’ve been on his side to represent others, then should that go in any criminals defence? Disregarding whatever they’ve done, it’s just a general thought I have. I am in no way saying what Brookes’ has done is right. It’s absolutely abhorrent. However saying all that, I feel the judge has helped him maybe a little too much.
