I want to say he’s crazy but in reality he’s just an abuser. He’s out of his element because he’s unable to control this process that’s why he’s so disruptive. This dude wants to talk about forgiveness before he’s taken any accountability. Faking tears over what this has done to him but shown zero remorse for the victims and pain that he caused. MIND BOGGLING

Absolutely from start to the end of today it's all about him what he's feeling what he's thinking what he's been through and I agree it's so tempting to call him crazy but he's not he's just, he's really just exceedingly ignorant and not very bright. He knows enough to be dangerous as they say. I hope, I pray to God they find him guilty on every single count! And I hope and pray that someday somehow he can read all the comments so that he can understand he is not as freaking awesomely special as he thinks he is because that I think is what disgusts me the most.

[@sandrareeves4109]

He is argumentative arrogant and does not understand procedure! Needs to be shut down now! He doesn’t get it , he has NO control and he is going nuts! Major personality disorder, sad! He should have allowed for public defense he had No Clue!

I can’t stop watching this circus. He questioned witnesses as if they were on trial. Tries to tell the judge and the jury what the law is.

[@Hippiechic-o3p]

WORD. 💯 💯 💯

[@Iambatman_17]

Right. Nullification is for when the punishment doesn't fit the crime. He could have paid them all and still wouldn't nullify. If i was the jury i would have made him guilty just for the circus without an ounce of evidence. "I feel you should be privey to all knowledge, not what some ppl want you to hear". That's literally what he did the entire trial. Objected and argued every FACT he didn't want the jury to know. He was right, facts were kept from them, facts about him as the pos he is to actually PROTECT HIM! To keep the jury from being bias against him. I can't WAIT till this "thing" is in gen pop and hearing some great stories of justice

He is the definition of a psychopath and a narcissist Sociopath His actions show no remorse and no empathy or accountability for his actions, he doesn’t believe the laws pertain to him, he feels he is above everyone else and the way he has abused women and is condescending to the judge is apparently the way he regards any woman who has Authority over him. I truly believe that he will be found guilty of all charges and I truly wish he was facing the death penalty for his actions. The Judge is a amazing person that has totally control of her emotions and she is very fair with him, We need more judges like her in our country!!!

I think it really upset him because the judge was a female that he knew that he couldn’t control. He really thought that he could get pity from the jury. The judge should get an award and be noticed as the most patient judge of all time! I couldn’t sit there and take that verbal abuse from him. She handled that so well!! He knew what he did and I think that he was fully aware that nothing he could say would save him. When he asked the judge “Are you done?”, I wanted to reach through my phone……… I feel that he was just dragging the case out on purpose because he knew he was headed to prison. What a jerk he is!!

@@Sciss0rmanThe people calling her “terrible” are upset that she remained professional and fair throughout this entire trial and didn’t react like THEY would’ve. That’s why they are calling her terrible. I agree with the OP that she needs a medal for how she handled this case. It went on longer than it should’ve because of Darrell Brooks’ stall strategy, but she got it done and did so without giving him any chance at a successful appeal AND sending him away for the rest of his life.

[@Essie-Cakes]

I think he fully believes that he is the good guy here and he just made an honest mistake. Like stepping on someone's toes on the bus. Because anyone could have done what he did. Erika pissed him off so bad (because Erika is such a horrible person) that he took the wrong turn. That's all what is happened in his tiny little mind. And now the judge is a woman (outrageous in itself), has no jurisdiction, the DA's are clearly lying because he never did anything bad in his life, he is just a mere victim of the circumstances. And of course nobody understands him and sees what an upstanding, hard-working great guy he is. HE IS THE DEFINITION OF A NARCISSIST! I say Judge Dorrow for president, outstanding job, fantastic role model, incredibly fair and good judge. The DA's again, fantastic job, they should be and will be recognised for their excellent work and dedication towards the community. My heart goes out to every victim and their families. Stay strong Whakasa!!! ❤

You cannot reason with someone who is unreasonable. Being rational with someone who is irrational does not work. Disengagement is the only thing that works to save your sanity. He is an abuser in every sense. Abusers are master manipulators and con men which is why anything other than physical abuse can be difficult to discern and prove. Though emotional abuse most often is far more damaging and long lasting than physical, it is much more easily hidden and victims are often not believed and re-victimized by others & the system. He is a Master Class in mental, emotional & psychological abuse and some of the tactics abusers use. They are often intelligent, articulate and highly believable as they often have a persona of the consumate nice guy to others which is their cover for their abusive behavior. In this case, this judge has no choice but to attempt to set limits and boundaries to avoid a mistrial. This is not only a travesty of his actions but of our judicial system as well. My apologies, my heart and prayers go out to all his victims and all those who have been impacted by his actions.

I read a comment on another video that totally cleared my head with all of this. I was so angry that the judge was arguing with him…..explaining the same things over and over and over…letting him rage too long before he was removed…and the the ultimate for me…letting him back in. The comment was praising her for consistently allowing him to show his ass while all the time she continued to stay focused. THAT is the patience I keep reading about. So…I get it now. I thought she had lost control of her courtroom. Not at all. I’m going to rewatch the entire trial with that in mind. Instead of getting sick with being appalled, frustrated …etc…I’m going to watch her working her plan of action.

She was doing it the way she did so that he has got no where to turn when he tries for appeal. What gets me is how dumb this bloke is to say that because there's no living breathing human to press charges that no case can be brought against him and his Closing argument he is on about how he can't hold his kids what a heartless person he has got to be and so selfish he should have got the Death Penalty for it 6 people who will never breath again and he doesn't get that On a Multiple murder charge you should not be allowed to represent yourself.

[@tracyloftus3237]

The reason the jury didn’t hear you argue facts is because the facts were completely AGAINST YOU! That’s why you didn’t argue facts. You’re only emotional because you KNOW you’re going away for life…those tears have absolutely NOTHING to do with the 6 people killed, and the MANY injured! At least your family can still visit you in prison….you took 6 family members away from their families, and forfeit that person’s right to life….their families will NEVER see them again, but your family can still see you!

[@jacsumi7029]

I find it fascinating that he can’t come out and say “it was an accident” or something to that effect. As much of a scary liar that he is, he still can’t say the full lie. I also think he was trying to either intimidate or manipulate the jury. “You have to live with your decision” and the BS of “look inside yourself”. 🤮

[@isabellflorence4956]

He also said he was “at peace” and I know that made the victims and their families angry. I know he was trying to talk “religious” but it didn’t work. I think he still has a chance to apologize instead of making excuses like he did yesterday. That would help with how people feel towards him. He might be concerned though that it would make him appear weak in prison. I don’t know. This is now his new reality. When we sin it ripples out and touches everyone around us. His mom will have to get the car fixed on her own. I don’t know if she paid it off before this or still has a bank note but the insurance company (if it was insured) won’t pay for the repairs because it’s now noted that it was used in a felony. His ex girlfriend will most likely get into trouble for giving him her Bridge card meant to buy her and her children food. This is a mess for many many people all because he couldn’t control his anger.

Take a good look at this little man before he is thrown in prison hopefully never to be seen nor heard of again. He talked about his conscience being clear after he purposely ran over and killed 6 people with his 3000 pound vehicle and injured 67+ people. He stood there talking about a letter written to him by his son giving him moral support, which letter I seriously doubt his son wrote; this little man stood there and pleaded to the jury with his stinky breath to do the right thing. Thank God the jury did do the right thing and found him guilty of all counts of which he was charged. Justice was served.

[@johnaddeo2251]

This behavior is how DB conducted himself in everyday life, prior to this trial. He has almost totally confounded Judge Dorow, who is the most powerful person he has ever challenged with his BS. While I understand the constraints the judge was under, I can only imagine the manipulation and gaslighting people like his mom and girlfriend endured. If he had learned to control his rage, he’d still be out there conducting himself like an impossible toddler. I still have made no sense of why he took out his rage on totally innocent strangers, but it seems his powers of manipulating those who knew him best, were quickly beginning to disintegrate.
