This is EXACTLY why judges do NOT want people to defend themselves. It’s clear he does not have a clear understanding of the law and doesn’t seem to comprehend that it is not the judges job to give him advice or tell him HOW the laws work. At the very least he can hire a lawyer or get a public defender to assist him with defending himself but he thinks he is a know-it-all

[@jtaf4888]

It’s not (just that) but I think his reasoning was that he felt a P.Defender would not fight as hard as he wanted to. (Which they wouldn’t have as Public Defenders suck as we all know!~😮they don’t care & get paid all the same regardless) …Don’t get me wrong I’m glad this POS has been sentenced but just saying I don’t think it’s a case of him thinking he knows it all.

​@NurseRNjennnnnnnn that's true, he was trying desperately to create so much chaos and disorder so that the trial would go off the rails, and the judg would vibe forced to declare a mistral, or maybe one of the prosecutors, the judge, or even one of the witnesses would lose their cool and say or do something out if frustration, make a crucial mistake or faux pas, and give him a solid case for appeal. What he didn't count on or even consider wad the patience, temperance, and sheer fortitude of a strong woman judge and women prosecutors. That made him even more angry, and it was so much fun watching him throw his childish tantrums😅

It's not the judge's responsibility to provide any council or anyone with a written copy of any law. It is the defendant's responsibility to know the law as it pertains to this case. That is the reason why he should have retained an attorney.

@@nichole771 thankfully the families do not have to sit through it unless they choose too. I agree, it adds insult to injury (deaths), however, I'd never oppose the right to represent oneself. I truly believe he's only making it worse for himself. Have patience because in the end, I believe it will pay off! Btw, the judge is doing an outstanding job!!

[@nichole771]

@@Rebecca-hc5ju I agree. It’s just frustrating watching this. It’s blows my mind.

He is actually demanding to be denied any participation.db seems to understand he has been swamped by these Intelligent Women, and just wants the beating to end.

Career criminal, including being a sex offender since 2003.

[@juliebrownlie5330]

Oh here we go he thinks he’s walking again. Ha ha ha.

[@josephbraus4836]

Love how he says “Ill-a-noise” 😂

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

He wants to go back to his cell. He don't like being made to watch his own trial.

[@farmerchick3040]

This guy never should have defended himself. He's in way over his head and has only made a fool of himself.

[@Jinisinsane]

All the lawyers probably avoided this pos like the black plague.

We all love the sound of our own voice, right? Some people do more than others... Darrell Brooks is at the extreme end of the spectrum. Darrell Brooks has a voice triggered autoeroticism.

What a clown!

His mother isn’t coming. She failed as a parent, why try now.

[@Listening4Gabriel]

You can't declare she failed as a parent. We don't know that. Some criminals have come out of loving homes with good parents. People have free will. And some people are just monsters who enjoy being monsters. Brooks is one of them.

[@Anthony-pj4io]

@Mona DeLeon Darrell Brooks Sr. was an alcoholic who abandoned family when his son was a child.

[@andersonsystem2]

This guy is freaking ridiculous and I can’t wait for his judgment day. He is disrespectful to the court and he killed people in the parade and he not taken any responsibility for his despicable actions. I hope he gets life in prison without parole.

[@GaryHanlon]

What's with him tapping that Pen ? is he sending Morse code to his Mommy ?

[@timshow781]

I'm looking forward to his reaction when he's found guilty and learns of his sentence.

[@Anthony-pj4io]

He’s known he’s going back to prison for awhile now. What he did was just taking as many people down with him as possible.

[@bobbyswain7049]

When the sentence is read he'll be in the other courtroom just like today... where there is a mute button 👍

[@cjjones3220]

"I need to give you advisements - I don't need your advice" 😂😂😂

[@Needsnewcar]

Why is he still alive?

[@CorekBleedingHollow]

How many times was he moved to the other courtroom? lol

[@chillbest14]

🤣🤣

[@Fluffimuff]

He's really enjoying his little game here.

[@roselande9841]

WELL,she allowed him too.

[@leo_zero1879]

He is in so far over his head it’s painful to watch . I feel for the families and loved ones. He’s irritating me and he didn’t injure and take my loved one’s life. I can not IMAGINE the hate that would be brewing in me if he had ....

Time to take out the trash

This Judge needs an extended tropical 🍹 vacation after she rendered her verdict...I don't blame her if she hit him with a gavel after the guilty verdict...lol
