The second time should’ve been it. He cursed her he threatened her he’d glare and slam things. It was too much. It was impossible to watch.

I'm a pretty good writer and although I have a degree in a scientific field, I often counted on any writing assignment as an easy A and a way to boost my grade points. So as soon as he said the topic of the paper, but for a crazy 17 pages, I immediately thought to discuss it for that long I would include all professions that interact in the courtroom. So I think the essay would get me in trouble as I would most certainly have to include the professionalism of judges, as well, and the judge may take that as a swipe at them. But seriously......10 major and 10 minor sources to site? HAHAHAHA I'd have offered to double the fine!!!

@dizzleslaunsen2372 Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent. It, clearly, shows it on video and should not have gone to court at all.

[@Gecko....]

@@Matthew-Anthony He was innocent but I think a trial was probably justified to work out if he really did fear for his life and to work out why he really went to the area that day. I think because he said he went to protect businesses armed it could be concluded that he intended to shoot someone that day regardless of the circumstances and that he was opposed to the protesters ideologically so it could be construed that he wanted to kill them for that reason. Then there was the fact he was underaged to carry that gun and came from out of state. They probably should have put him on trial for different charges. The government really does not like vigilantes as they aren't trained and stuff like this happens.

The mfer watched a couple of Law & Order episodes, remembered a couple of big words and thought he could go toe to toe with the law. Judge put him in his place quick lol.

[@123bgmiller]

I agree! I watched the entire trial and so many times I wanted to just grab Brooks and shake him. He was so disrespectful it was absolutely infuriating. I can't imagine if my parents or children had been hurt by him then having to listen to his stupidity. Also, equally infuriating was the fact that he was out on bond for a very similar crime just weeks earlier.

That Judge for the Nikolas Cruz trial had very poor relations with everyone involved with the trial. She always was arguing with them.

I just can't get over this first judge. Dude says he doesn't appreciate the comments about his children. Judge doesn't care. He says she'd care if they were talking about her children. Her response: "How dare you bring up my children!"

[@matthewsmith6176]

She literally said she wasn't told about any comments being made. And then brings up her children

[@donnawood3505]

She said she didn’t remember ever mentioning his children. Our system is screwed up because it’s all about being nice to the criminals. And then people complain when criminals are let out of jail or charges dismissed.

Judge Elizabeth Scherer from Parkland shooter trial speaks publicly for first time since resigning after controversial case. January 8th 2024. CBS MIAMI This is what she had to say to CBS MIAMI: "To try to threaten my children and bring up my children is inappropriate," Scherer said. "So I'm very protective of my daughter and looking back, I, I may have overreacted. In other words, maybe that's not what the attorney meant, but I don't feel it's ever, ever appropriate to look at a judge and say, 'Well, if this was your kid.' I mean that is just so far out of line that I will tell you he found the right button to push." Scherer admits to overreacting during that one exchange. "I try to maintain a level of, you know, calmness and take a deep breath when somebody's trying to sort of bait me (by) bringing up my daughter," she said. "You know I did lose my temper, and just to put it in context, although I don't know that that's what was meant by it." But with time has come perspective. "But long story short, do I think that's what he meant?" she said. "Probably not. Do I think that he was inappropriate? Absolutely!

[@knickyknick420]

[@slyjokerg]

#1 - Judge was way out of line. The attorney didn't say anything remotely like a threat toward her children. His words started out to be something to the effect of, "If it was your children that someone brought up like the other side did, you would be upset." Then, somewhat ironically, she went nuts even though her children were NOT spoken of in any negative way, let alone was no threat directed at her children. That reeked of a judge putting on show because she knew it was on TV.

[@ryandoherty9696]

How does it work when for example, Alex Jones is ordered to pay such obscene amounts of money that he doesnt' have? Does he spend his life now working and paying it all to these families? How much does this judgment actually hurt him? For example OJ owes the families millions, but he still collects his NFL pension which is six figures, lives in a mansion, and lives leisurely where it appears money still isnt' an object to worry about for him. So how are these cases actually paid out and resolved?

[@dmkolb1977]

First judge has lost her damn mind. It's ok to talk about the attorneys kids, but if the attorney tries to get the judge to understand his point of view, the Judge loses her damn mind. She shouldn't be a judge.

In the first situation, he was upset someone brought his kids into it. The judge dismissed his feelings but when her kids were brought into it, she freaked out. Maybe there was more to it but it seemed more to prove his point.

[@haladisch]

The judge in Brooks' case was unbelievably patient. What was Brooks thinking acting like that? That he would be so intimidating or so loud that everyone would just say "oh, man, just get out of here a free man, just so we don't have to deal with such a "tough" grown-up" or what was his logic??

[@topspot4834]

The judge who refused $1,000 in lieu of the 17 page essay is an amazing man. He wasn't looking for a quick fix and genuinely wanted that lawyer to truly understand his point and learn from that experience. It would've been in the state's best interest to collect that $1,000 instead, but he did what he felt was fair and just. Very admirable to have a judge with so much honor and integrity, and I do hope that lawyer learned despite his older age.

Brooks is really the worst case of Dunning-Kruger ever. That's what happens if someone considers himself much smarter than he actually is. So glad that they still managed to get the trial through and sentence him.

[@kujo5998]

Ok, say what you want about that POS’s defense team, the bizarre way they acted, and the the disrespectful attitude they held towards the prosecution and even some of the families of the victims at times, but when he simply said “Judge, i think if they had brought YOUR children into this, you might have remembered..” For the judge to then FREAK out, and act like he just “threatened” her children, is INCREDIBLE. She wouldnt even TOLERATE the very mentioning of the phrase “your children” in reference to herself, but when its aimed at the defense attorney, she doesnt say JACK S, doesn’t care, it didn’t matter AT ALL to her. That whole interaction makes her look VERY biased if you’re able to watch it with an unbiased eye yourself. In NO WAY did he “threaten her children” as she tried to imply while she was shaming him. Thats one of the MOST hypocritical moments I’ve ever seen from a judge…

[@jG-fr3iy]

The Florida Supreme Court publicly reprimanded the first judge (Elizabeth Scherer) who oversaw the penalty trial of Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz for showing bias toward the prosecution. The unanimous decision followed a recommendation from the Judicial Qualifications Commission. The 15-member commission found that Scherer “unduly chastised” lead public defender Melisa McNeill and her team, wrongly accused one Cruz attorney of threatening her child, and improperly embraced members of the prosecution in the courtroom after the trial’s conclusion. The judge resigned effective June 2023.
