Bizarre Trial of Darrell Brooks: Outbursts and Oddities of the Waukesha Parade Attacker's Case

[@Cowgirl_Up22]

I’m honestly thankful he decided to represent himself. It would have been so much more painful for the victims to go through how defense attorneys can twist things. They may been able to get some charges dropped. But Brooks made sure every single charge stuck. And I appreciate that he did that to himself.

Nope! Judge Dorow allowed this criminal manipulator to control and debase her Courtroom and the rule of law. Countless times she demurred and cowered before Defendant Brooks. By participating with his unending circular arguments, she encouraged it. Judge Dorow should have stood up to Brooks Day one of the trial. Instead, she wrung her hands in fear of a mistrial and allowed the circus to continue. A Male Judge would have put a stop to Brook's disrespect and antics Day one! Folks who praise Dorow's patience and label her "A Saint" are as weak as her. It's the same permissive mentality that allowed Wisconsin to burn in the Summer of 2020. EPITAPH: If there is a mistrial and if the verdict is reversed, it's because Judge Dorow gave Brooks a legal back door to escape; she permitted a man with severe mental disease (aka Acute Personality Disorders) to represent himself.

Kinda depends on how you look at it. Letting him defend himself was an absolute nightmare for the judge, prosecutors, the victims and their families and anyone else in the courtroom with him. Thing is, as much of a nightmare as it was, it was a temporary nightmare. He could only stall and drag things out for so long. Eventually, the trial and (once he was found guilty) sentencing would commence. At that point, it became a blessing that he defended himself. At the time, I think I remember reading or hearing an attorney say that an actual lawyer probably could have kept him from getting convicted on some of the charges, including the more serious ones. He was never going to be completely acquitted and honestly, was always gonna have to serve a long time. But it's not inconceivable that with even a barely competent actual lawyer, he would have gotten a sentence that would have eventually let him go free. The way the trial actually unfolded showed what a narcissistic sociopath he is. It took away any benefit of the doubt that an actual lawyer might have been able to present and with that, he got sentenced to so many years that even the judge acknowledged that some of the sentencing was symbolic.

[@tenjenk]

People were wondering why the judge was allowing him to misbehave. It was because she knew what he was trying to do, he wanted to get under her skin for her to react so there would be mistrial or at the very least he would delay the case, especially by getting contempt of court. Instead she was a rock and he grew increasingly frustrated when his life long tactics and immature attempts at intimidation and disrespect failed to delay matters as she only ever replied curtly with the minimal responses required under law. He instead only dug himself deeper and once he had done so sufficiently, she stuck him in a box with a mic and camera, muting him during rants. Now he's recieved multiple life sentences.

It's not hard at all to believe that this guy angrily murdered 6 people and endangered the safety of 61 others. His anger boiled to the surface many times during the trial, and I can picture him in a rage killing and injuring all those people.

[@animal1nstinct394]

he injured a bunch of people as well and probably gave some people PTSD

[@kenamaro3942]

I wouldn't be surprised if he'd killed someone outside of this case.

[@Kepi_Kei]

I knew there were deputies in the courtroom but sometimes he would start yelling at the judge and it was almost like shark eyes, the dark dead eyes with the membrane that closes over it when it feeds. I was actually worried about the judge's safety in the courtoom. I think she did too.

[@stop_the_cat]

The face he made when he slammed his fist on the table is the face he made when he was running people over.

He injured* 60 something others. He endangered hundreds

@@DownTheHoleConspiracy HE IS NOT INSANE! Being a loser a$$hole is a character flaw. He had choice. The mentally ill might be incapable of understanding what they were doing. Or see the parade goers as demons or some other delusion. Brooks did not suffer from those delusions, he just doesn't care about anyone other than himself. Sure, it may be a product of his upbringing, but he is not mentally ill, just a piece of human filth unable to live in society.

[@alexlents4689]

My personal (and probably wrong) theory for why Darrell represented himself is because he knew that, given all the evidence against him, there was no way he could have a successful defense, even with a professional legal team, so he just wanted to get some bitter satisfaction out of being as annoying as possible to get a reaction out of people. In other words, he wanted to troll the court

[@Ween1776]

I beleive you're right but also he truly believed the sovereign citizen BS. He legit thought subject matter jurisdiction and jury nullification was going to get him off. So glad Darrow shut him down everytime he brought it up

[@taffykins2745]

I think he's narcissistic and thinks he knows more than anyone else. His jailhouse law book self study makes him smarter than a well-educated, experienced, licensed attorney. Of course it does!🙄 What a jerk.

[@pisces2569]

That guy does not possess a single iota of self-awareness for that. Most likely he didn’t like what his attorneys recommended and opted to do the job himself under the delusional belief that he can do better.

[@Ween1776]

@Pisces that's definitely what happened. You could tell his original attorneys were happy AF at the hearing where DB said he wanted to represent himself

[@rachelrobot]

Supposedly he was trying to get a mistrial, I guess to put off the inevitable? That's also why he kept badgering the judge, he was hoping she would snap and yell at him, which could be grounds for a mistrial

[@icutoffmyleftwing7190]

No system is perfect. Freedom has many ugly details. I like to say freedom comes with the good, the bad and the ugly. I am implying that you are innocent until proven guilty not because someone can red flag you because they themselves emulate this man behavior. No person should be controlled even if you suspect they will commit a heinous crime, you could be wrong and imprison or condemn somebody wrongfully. Our system is flawed but it's the best we have currently.

I seriously doubt the judge was scared of Brooks. Listen to her voice, there’s nothing there to indicate she’s actually fearful. I think she was smart in leaving a “paper trail” of his behavior so he couldn’t declare a mistrial. That is one of the smartest judges I’ve ever seen! Smart legal moves throughout the whole trial 👍🏽
