Intentional defying the court rulings. Yelling and banging his version of lawful and, subject matter jurisdiction. Everything possible to derail the trial. Pleaded not understanding the charges against him. His claim on being a sovereign. He actually argued that he was NOT a sovereign citizen. He is sovereign. Begging and demanding to go to the other court room. Judge Dorow can't make him stay in the regular court room for something he doesn't understand. Omg dude just kept running that mouth. What good did it done for you Darrell Brooks? Enough record for keeping your butt locked up forever.

At sentencing when he said, “I don’t understand judgement “ I was just floored. This ridiculous person dug his own grave. At first I thought maybe he was doing some kind of act to try to make ppl think he was experiencing some type of mental illness. But by the end of his trial it was obvious he really is like that. When the jury went out to deliberate, he was like a giddy little child, saying stupid stuff to JudgeJen and that clownish smile on his face!
