[@croatoansounds]

Yea a number of the officers’ testimonies were pretty interesting. I don’t think it’s this day/video, but the officer who fired the 3 rounds at the back of the SUV had some stand out moments (I’d say funny moments, at least out of context, but in the context of the trial and the violence of the whole event, it’s hard to say “funny”. Maybe fascinating is better). Brooks seemed to think he figured out some secret, or found a loophole, because that officer had given the SUV’s license plate the night of the parade to other cops (per their written reports), but he couldn’t remember the plate NOR that he had provided it that night. But, the other cops and detectives who received the plate that night reported that it turned out to be the exact correct plate for Brooks’ SUV haha. Brooks was acting (and looking, with that silly furrowed brow, staring at the ceiling thing) as if somehow his questions would reveal some huge thing, but it led NOWHERE, and just wound up basically proving that the cop who shot at him DID see and accurately report the license plate, even if his memory wasn’t there (also, totally valid considering the magnitude of the event, the adrenaline and trauma etc).

I am watching this trial form the other side of the world, down under, and I'm finding it FASCINATING... mostly for the socialisation aspect of the defendant. I knew he woudl change his behaviour so he could be in the court room and not in the sep room on mute, i knew that was going to happen .. no way would he want to lose his 5 mins of fame ... but to see him go frm a shirtless, back to the judge, raging raving pretending to be crazy man, to in a suit standing up for the jury and an apology to the judge and court room ...not to say in any way i think he's a "changed man".. just .. you don't see this everyday lol. all strategy of course. Was a bit hard to take first thing when he gave the apology saying "i wasn't raised that way, i was raised in a Christian home, i wasn't raised to be rude and disrespectful "..im like shouting at the computer "but you were also probably not raised to be a mass murderer who runs over innocent people and kills them FFS"

[@123bgmiller]

Yes! Such a two-faced manipulative monster! I feel like he could have behaved differently and really changed the jury's perception of him. If he played the mental health card, explained that he has manic episodes and was kind, repentant and remorseful, he may have been able to be institutionalized rather than in prison for the rest of his life. He must really have believed that he could con the court into dropping the entire case. I'm so glad he's in prison forever.

[@lynn9496]

I would rethink how he was raised. His mother bailed him out after he allegedly ran his girlfriend over. His mother then turned around and let him use her vehicle again...a few weeks later and boom.

He is such a bully hope his inmates have a “talk” with him

[@LadyLikeLane]

I hate seeing him straighten those papers so intently, as though it’s fruit from his laborious research work. I take such joy in knowing that the guards will be cruel. They’ll do things like toss his cell and ransack it, leaving every single sheet of that “paperwork” (as he loves to say) tossed about. Good luck putting it back together.

The people who were not injured by the vehicle outnumber the people who were injured. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds. Grounds.

[@HB-ey2dk]

My take: The only info he has on each witness is a basic page or 2 that the public defender's office lazily compiled. So he doesn't even have any questions to ask them aside from reciting what's on their witness statements to try and sound smart and then throws around any random objection he can think of. He's enjoying the attention (flaming narcissist) and thought he could try to get off trying the sovereign citizen BS he must've heard about in jail waiting for trial. He didn't even do that part well, either. So he dumped his lawyers at the last minute so he could get to argue his nonsensical crap and get into petty arguments with the judge for fun.

[@Nek0jin]

To the people in Chat who said that what he did was a hate crime and should be charged: There's no point in adding more charges to the case, and runs a small risk of confusion or conflict for the jurors. If he's convicted, he's going away for one of the longest sentences ever given in that state. If he's acquitted (as unlikely as that seems), it's likely that additional charges wouldn't help.

[@erbiumfiber]

Also I think the federal government could bring hate crime charges in another case if for some reason he is acquitted here- like Chauvin- a separate federal case. Mostly, it's not going to be needed...

[@georgiabadon2577]
