Craziest Trial Ever Just Ended

It would have (and should have) been over in a day if she had maintained control of her courtroom.

This is how to deal with any overbearing person or Karen/Kevin or whatever. They try to play games with you and if you give in they win. Don't give them anything to work with, stay cool at all cost until the person gets bored and stops acting stupid when they see their tactic isn't working on you. "Argue with stupid and stupid wins with experience". Big applause to the judge for showing people how it's done! We could all need to learn this level of cool when we all inevitably encounter some wilding rage baiting animals in our daily lifes. Another tactic I've seen other than rage baiting, guilt baiting or sympathy baiting is the one where they try to wear their victim down by pestering them hoping that the victim will just give them what they want so that they will go away. It's a game of endurance and patience pretty much. Okay then cunt if you wanna waste my time I'm gonna waste your fucking time back!!! But I'm gonna do it respectfully with some hidden sarcasm just enough that they can't accuse you of being mean or anything! And eventually they will get bored and leave.

[@notatrollll]

The judge was far too timid, i watched the entire trial, I watched every minute. She would repeatedly warn him and say its his last chance, but not follow through with her warnings. She didnt seem confident at times, and reexplained law to the record multiple times when shes not required to. In the end, it must have been a super hard case and as long as the end result is the same she will have done a good job. But judges must be confident with their rulings and not engage in arguing or explanations to the parties when they become abusive.

[@Corvid76]

The first four or five days the judge would take his objections seriously and be very patient with him and listen to him and then explain the law to him, and then overrule him. But by the time the second week started, she knew every day that she was walking into this courtroom and that she would be dealing with 9 to 11 hours of the most stress inducing type of behavior from a person that, as far as she is concerned, is untouchable. Because she couldn't do certain things or make certain decisions on how to deal with him, because it might show bias, which gives him something to appeal. Eventually she would just completely stop answering him when he asked questions, even ones that a judge would normally answer. She was just done with it. And so he started insisting that the court make a record every single time.. he would say the same things that the court make a record that the judge is refusing, etc etc.

its an amendment right

[@harlieschmidt5945]

@@akac1 Yes, it falls under the fifth amendment (this is for the United States Constitution, i dont know if there’s similar amendments to constitutions of other countries). The original comment, your description of double jeopardy isn’t the fully correct one, but you are on the right track for sure. The fifth amendment protects so many rights. They include but are not limited to: Miranda rights are to be read which protect the right to not give answers/testimony that could be incriminating them (by them I mean the person being questioned), the right to legal counsel/representation, and it lays down the double jeopardy rule. Summed up, double jeopardy prohibits a defendant from being taken to trial more than once for the same charge(s) and for the same crime(s) they previously went to trial for, even if the defendant is acquitted or convicted. If the trial is deemed a mistrial, it is up to the District Judge and District Attorney OR the State court to determine whether the defendant is able to stand a new trial without being unconstitutional. I hope that made sense

I watched most of this and that judge has the patience of a saint. We thought he really wanted to be held in contempt of the court to delay everything but she wasn't having it. She did so so well by the victims and their families, she put up with all of his shit and went extra million miles to make absolutely sure there wouldn't be anything he could accuse the court in his appeal. She's an absolute hero. Even wears a cape 😁

@@inquisitorbacon8170 Sentencing will not be on Monday yet unfortunately. Monday parties will plan out how many victims will give victim impact statements and who is going to speak on behalf of mr. Brooks. Since there are many victims it could mean a lot of statements. The judge also said already that her schedule was only cleared for this case until Monday and then she has other cases, so it could be a while before everything fits in her schedule again... and THEN after all that we will finally hear her speak her mind and it will be amazing.

The insanity plea is one of the biggest misconceptions ever… because it might be easy for some to convince someone they are crazy… it is very hard to convince people that you are not crazy… if you get off due to insanity you will never be released from custody and you will spend your life surrounded by people who are actually insane and you will also be heavily medicated… it is a living hell…

[@drydogg]

When I was in the military, I had undiagnosed clinical depression, with massive anxiety and panic attacks. The evidence suggests I may have autism and Tourette's syndrome, as well. We were out in the Mojave Desert when I broke. It was really bad. When my platoon corpsman heard what was coming out of my mouth, he told me to shut up and that if I didn't, they'd throw me in a military psych hospital and that if I wasn't crazy when I went in, I'd be crazy when I came out. What was I supposed to do? I had three more years left. I didn't belong there, and they wouldn't let me go. Shortly thereafter I discovered what booze would do for me. Eighteen months later I came out the other side of a suicidal binge a full-blown alcoholic. I got sober at 0645 hours, on the morning of March 3rd, 1997, in my barracks room. God showed up and I haven't wanted a drink since. My asshole commanders tried to talk me out of going to rehab, they couldn't see the problem, but I stood my ground. After I got out, I got into the VA system, and they FINALLY diagnosed my mental illness. I've been working on it since then. Next March 3rd will be 26 years sober. I've had two hospitalizations for my mental health, one of which was five and a half weeks long, but AA taught me to ask for help BEFORE there's a crisis; it always looks better to the doctors when it's a VOLUNTARY committal. I hope you have a nice day.

This is why I tell people not to get angry when some horrible turd pleas insanity. You should hope they win because they're in for a lifelong nightmare. If you're not convinced, watch a documentary on the institutions the criminally insane are condemned to. It's honestly inhumane and cruel if the person is ACTUALLY insane. It's a far worse punishment for someone who deserves it than the death penalty, though.

[@LunarEleven]

@@drydogg I'm so sorry. I live in a very military town and my ex husband was Army, and I am sadly not surprised at all to hear this. The things I've heard about and seen happen to guys who had bad experiences like this are unfathomable. Especially depression! The acceptable military treatment is copious amounts of booze. I'm so glad you survived it. A friend of mine drank himself to death in the barracks 6 years ago. The inhumane way people who need support are treated in the military can literally kill them. If not physically, mentally. It sounds like it nearly did both to you. Thanks for sharing because this shit is more common than people know.

Driving slowly the entire time, and then went to eat a sandwich and crack jokes with a random stranger as if it was just another day. Absolutely zero human response.
