Seriously could you have imagined what it would have been like if he had actually had representation?

You will have to do some homework on the SovCit movement. It's mostly about twisting words and phrases. With an underlying conspiracy theory mentality.

lol at around the hour and a half mark you can see him physically becoming concerned with having to actually represent himself without co-council after his failed attempt at trying to finesse a legal document.

[@ssuezq]

I think he thought he was just going back to his cell. Clearly did not have a clue what to do with the documents she gave him. Couldn't even find the right place on the forms she was reading from 😅

[@allisonr71]

Judge Darow - she deserves a long vacation after this trial. Her composure during these days of trial have been impeccable I cannot commend her enough. Just pure straight forwardness. Gotta love her.

[@joeb5080]

I was thinking the same thing!! lol. She definitely could use a vacation.

[@kparr76]

@Lawyeryouknow I need you to review this one! Starting at 1 hour 50 minutes till the end. How this judge keeps from laughing or smiling when he starts saying “to just take people off the witness list because they do not want to be recorded” … I could not have kept it together. This judge is a great example of professionalism!!!

[@krisvanallen]

Give that man a stationary chair. Can you imagine how bad it would be if he had a squeaky rocking chair, clicked his pen constantly (why do so many lawyers do that?), crackled an empty water bottle, had a whistle in his nose when he breathed…..

[@pondbich]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joytoyouandme4593]

Doesn’t matter if he represents himself or has representation, either way he is will get a life sentence. Representing himself will just give the judge a migraine everyday of hearings or trial. My prayers go out the the court and pa.

[@lcrace4148]

Sadly it allows him to traumatize his victims because she has no control what he may or may not say. Most attorney's would have a "filter " over their comments. He is a sick disgusting individual! I am not sure what the ramifications are for a "fair trial" if he says/does things that would get lawyers disbarred or defendants removed from a courtroom. If he continually does or says things, can she remove him and hold him in contempt of court and allow the proceedings to move forward? If not, I am sure that is what he plans to do so he can try to get a "mistrial"

[@dr.g3860]

The fact that he will represent himself will make the trial interesting imo.

[@morrison22]

@@dr.g3860 While this true, it’s also going to cause additional harm to the families of the victims when the time comes they are in that same room. With the way he’s speaking to the judge, I can’t even imagine the upcoming outbursts.

Watching this hearing on the other side of the trial, I see how so many of the difficulties and his antisocial personality disorder are being foreshadowed in the hearing. Judge Dorow saw all this ahead of time. She knew what she dreaded was coming. A rough road brilliantly traveled and overcome.

[@LUTfam4]

I'm watching this after watching the whole trial too. Man, she played the long game with him very well. She's been brilliant from the start and he just got worse and worse as more evidence came in. He started falling apart after he realized his witnesses were making the states case.

[@marcusakers7245]

Prosecution looks like they're giggling about how screwed this guy is

[@keithborden4049]

While representing himself he won't be able to pull that insanity BS. He just wants to be the center of attention the last time in his life 🙃

[@allisonjames2923]

Kind of amusing in a mean way that he is concerned about all his friends & family having enough seating in the court, yet that row behind him has remained essentially empty or nearly empty during the trial. Guess not enough people care about him as he thinks

[@annabanana2640]

Right he acts like this is something to be proud of smh 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@GivePeaceAChance12]

Yep, and then after 15 min given to first come first serve.

[@heleneschmidt8419]

He did it on purpose - just to prohibit the victims and their families, the press and the public to get seats in that court room (when he requested more seats he didnt realised that the seats would be free seats after 15 minutes the court room was opened if not occupied.

[@joyciejd9673]

Notice how the female defense attorney who was sitting next to Brooks at the first hearing is now sitting at the end of the table. Me thinks that Brooks was starting to “escalate” and it was thought to be prudent to put the male attorney next to him.

[@robinminn271]

🤔 if anything it was the female atty escalating she could not have been more blatant in her petting and pawing him in previous videos.

[@bpoindexter7404]

Its funny he would even want to appeal. He doesnt realize hes safer in prison

[@jojo287]

How funny is it that he cried all through the trial stating he was being treated unfairly! Not as tough as he thought he would be!

It doesn’t matter what the state says or how much it makes sense, DB is going to disagree with it and object to it just because. You can hear his disdain for the prosecution who refuse to stop calling him on his BS.

Right. He only had 1 friend out of state. And his mom and they spoke on zoom. He Said 20 or more people would come from diffrent states. Even IF he did know that many, they would def not spend time and money to travel and speak on his behalf after what he did. Hes delusional.

[@Intimidator39]

All his nonsense about “I have people who will want to come to the trial” and yet no one showed up from his family….

Let’s not forget that during his sentencing, he told JD that he expect 20+ people to speak on his behalf. Only three (all via Zoom) spoke on his behalf. 🤣

Between this and the suitcase murder trial, we're going to get our fill of craziness.

[@cortneyrens]

I can’t wait for the suitcase trial,it was supposed to be months ago I thought but it must’ve been delayed? I’ve watched her interrogation like 3 times, I loved when they brought out the video on her phone (that she deleted but they recovered) showing her yelling at him and telling him he deserved this and isn’t letting him out, after she just told the detectives they were just “playing a normal adult game of hide and seek, we were laughing and having so much fun!” Lol

[@ShabbyChicBoho]

I don't know why it's been delayed but I think it has something to do with her firing her attorneys. I either heard that or read it, but I will Google it to see what I can find out. I've watched the interview many times as well, lol. Its going to be an interesting trial.
