Judge Dorow makes me want to be a better person. Unbelievable professionalism and humility. All around beautiful person. Very grateful this monster got what he deserves. Thoughts and prayers go out to the victims families.

[@SalahEddineH]

ABSOLUTELY! Reading the chat during his tantrums makes me angry at some points, seeing people misreading the situation completely and saying "This Judge has no control over her court room" or "This case needed a male Judge! This Judge has no spine" etc. Those people want a judge that will go on a ego trip like "You're not going to talk to me that way", and go off on him, hold him in contempt, limit his cross examinations, and gag him in front of the Jury. None of these would be productive. Holding him in contempt is exactly what he wants, as he wants to delay the trial. Going off on him only puts on the record that the judge was angry at him, giving some credence to the idea that she was biased against him. Liming his cross or not letting him speak out his grievances allows him to plead on appeal "I had these killer arguments that would've convinced the jury, but the Judge didn't let me finish!" (Which is why sometimes she lets him ask the "Plaintiff" questions, she wants to put on the record that his questions don't go anywhere valid, she even told him "I sometimes let you ask these questions, even though you don't know my reasons for that"). And gagging him in front of the Jury allows him to claim obvious prejudice. Sure, all of these only allow for like a 5% chance of being overturned on appeal. But she'd rather keep her ego out of the situation, in order to leave him absolutely 0% chance to appeal. The way she handled this trial, he will be laughed out of every appeals court that reads the record. She's doing the most respectful thing for the victims, by making absolutely sure that they won't have to go through a re-trial. Anyway, sorry, I had to rant about this to SOMEBODY. The chat kept making me angry!

I hate seeing people say Judge Jen is "weak" for putting up with DB. HAVING SELF-CONTROL IS NOT WEAK. She wants to see him go down as bad as the rest of us and she has the power to make or break this trial with her self-control. Most of us would have gone off on him a long time ago. She isn't going to risk a mistrial or give him grounds for an appeal. I can't wait to watch him go down. EDIT: For all the responses stating that Judge Jen IS weak and letting DB run the courtroom wasting people's time: Even if that were true, better to be safe and waste a little time, than to mess up and allow in a loophole that sets that f*ckwad free.

The reason why Brooks got so mad about Erika testifying at the time that he wasn't ready for, is because he wanted to extend the time he got to see and spend with her and that's the nature of an abuser. You can see at 1:52:36 when the judge says, "Good morning, Ms. Patterson, "he looks at her in the reflection of his monitor excited. He knew this would be the last time he would see her in person, so he wanted to savor the moment. He even took about 4 minutes before he asked the first question. Fumbling with the paperwork on his table was a clear control tactic to have Erika speak when HE was ready. He is triggered when he doesn't have control over her, and that's when he acts the worst. When her two friends came to her rescue on November 21st, he lost that control over her, and that rescue caused this man to be so ANGRY that he drove through a freaking parade.

The witness smoked him with her cross testimony: the SUV nearly hit her kid, she saw the vehicle accelerate, she saw the vehicle nearly hit an officer and she saw multiple officers try to stop the vehicle, and she saw the vehicle swerve from side to side.

Also his not asking questions to her in the beginning, basically keeping her in suspense and in a stressful situation is what little power he has left over her.

It's despicable that Brooks called Ms Yourell to testify. Her 4 children were all injured, and the prosecution didn't call her because it's obviously traumatic. The good news is that she had a gofundme for her kids healthcare which was at $50k out of $75k, and hadn't received a donation since December. The law channel that can't be mentioned here donated $500 to the gofundme during her testimony, and it is now sitting at $87k because of his chat/followers. It was completely unnecessary for her to testify today, but some good did come of it. Edit: The Gofundme has now closed at $97k, and the donations were mostly from followers/chat from the lawyer with the huge nose and girly shoulders, and also law and lumber. God bless you all.

In other words, they instantly decided his fate and the few hours they were in deliberation were merely spent filling in the paperwork. Unanimous guilty verdicts all around.

Not just like a normal mother doing all she can for her kid, but as though he is her boss. That probably didn’t help him learn his place in social settings as he was growing up.
