LIVE: Real Lawyer Reacts - Darrell Brooks Trial Day 14 Recap & Reaction

[@bulldog4673]

Brooks doesn’t understand anything but knows everything.

[@katherinegarza05]

That was well said!!!👍🏼💯

[@dsoule4902]

Lol👍🏻

[@katherinehunter9526]

Yup, he is a typical narcissist!

[@cindyfaulkner5725]

Oh I think he knows exactly what is being said to him, he is just playing that way to get a mistrial. I think he believes that a mistrial means he wins but that is not the case, it just means a new trial.

[@brettneygibbs9047]

I LOVED DA Opper today!! Her rebuttal closing was 🔥 glad somebody FINALLY said it.

[@katherinegarza05]

Yeeeeaaasss!!

[@mediii8057]

You think so? I think her whole closing argument was trash. Including the rebuttal. She should’ve talked about each victim that died especially the little boy. She should’ve brought him up specifically in the rebuttal because that scumbag was whining about not being able to meet and hold his son. She should’ve compared it. Her closing argument was complete garbage. She made more mistakes than darell made objections. It’s sad. This whole trial is just a joke. I feel so bad for the victims and their families.

[@BlondeAgent]

@@mediii8057 LOLROTF

[@jessika702]

@@mediii8057 i agree. Her closing was definitely lacking. ADA Zach Wittchow's opening was much better. He broke everything down in an easy to digest, linear fashion.

[@brettneygibbs9047]

Yeah I think so. This case is such a slam dunk. Just telling him to look in the mirror and quit using God as a crutch made me happy.

[@parkeranderson7599]

Man, you should convince your Dad to do a regular podcast with you. You guys are good.

[@RosalieHunnicutt]

YESSS I second this

[@CP-qz1oi]

Love watching you both interact additionally, the love and respect you have for your Dad shines through

[@carlenewade3197]

as a person who was a juror i could find intent in this case with no hesitation

[@zeemartin8789]

Me too. I agree about intent. I was Juror #8 !

[@wytube2009]

Post taken down or blocked.

[@sandyquino2015]

How can they believe that the government has no authority over them, yet believe they're owed constitutional rights that must be upheld? The pick n choose government applications is outrageous.

[@Bebold94]

Yes, that's what was throwing me, DB kept referring to his constitutional rights yet claiming to be a sovereign citizen and I wasn't understanding how that happens- well it still seems to be kind of an oxymoron

[@badger313]

Just gotta say, as someone who had an awful relationship with my own father, it's really sweet to see you & your dad tell each other you love one another before ending your live. You guys seem to have a beautiful family dynamic. It's great to see

[@thebluehotel426]

Darrell's brakes worked well enough as he was driving away from the scene and ditching the car.

[@mrOGmixer]

Have to love how many times he slipped up and talked about himself in the first person. I guess he is Darrel Brooks😅

[@HerbieCassidy]

it's not possible one juror woul😢steer their vehicle into people,, while he's in jail the rest of his life maybe he'll understand how ridiculous his words really are

[@lorigreen4134]

I absolutely loved her rebuttal. It just crushed me for the victims.

[@rosalynjeffery9510]

I'm so glad he didn't get to say anything after that. He always have to get the last word. Not this time.

[@shannonmadsen7779]

Love how much your dad supports you! Best guest ever!

[@LawyerYouKnow]

He’s the best in the game!

[@sharonhoyt2133]

Hey George...what a good father who raised a good son. Enjoy the discussions.

[@starshine3940]

What I found odd was he claims he’s sovereign but wanted his 5th amendment rights.

[@rosalynjeffery9510]

Exactly 💯 I wonder why the judge never called him on it.

[@MarieAntoinetteandherlittlesis]

I tune into your livestreams because it’s not just silly commentary- you actually answer questions that I have about this trial or the procedures or law in general. It’s almost entirely law-based, not just Tragos reading compliments to himself and answering questions about unrelated stuff. Excellent commentary with your father on as well. Love to hear all the insight about sovereign citizens and your related experience. Keep up the good work!!

[@robbiepompa8725]

I agree with you Thanksbutnot, it's an awesome community to be a part of.

[@paigeawin]

you read my mind about this law channel

[@DianaBamaRN]

I agree 💯!

[@OkayImLisa]

His closing argument made me physically ill. I couldn't make it to this stream. Thank you for being a calm and intelligent source of information.

[@oliviaprewett6061]

The guy that did the look over of Brooks car can’t think of his name. Did bring up there were no recalls on this vehicle. Testified to that the throttle was perfectly fine and could not find anything wrong with it what so ever. So there was a time for Brooks to ask him questions about it. They talked about it first thing this morning

[@Songbirdstress]

Plus the throttle reduces the power. It's the opposite of an accelerator.

[@georgiabadon2577]

Attorney Oppa gave a wonderful closing argument she mentioned intent and the victims names i don't know what channel you watched

[@rebeccaglasgow1324]

What got my heart, was the black toboggan in the passenger front seat was Bill Hospell's hat. So very sad

[@Asebfuwv]

His defense that the cars brakes weren’t working is gone because he hit the brakes to make someone slide off the hood and then kept going.

[@aufan7134]

Had they not muted him, this trial would never end.

[@jkdbuck7670]

That's his goal. Also his goal is to argue...Judge should not be arguing with him ---she's giving him what he wants.

[@afcchamp683]

@@jkdbuck7670 I think she did that so he can’t say that he was kept quiet intentionally and call her bias. That’s why you see judge explain everything on record.

[@georgiabadon2577]

He was heard on jailhouse phone calls saying he was going to delay disrupt,interrupt and just try to drag the trail out also with all of his ridiculous tactics

[@sunnydays4298]

I learned so much from you and your dad! Thank you guys for the info and your time. Very interesting. Brooks is a real piece of work.

[@Nighthawkforever147]

Seriously, the back and forth with your father are father/son goals. Well done.

[@chiefempire4227]

I've been watching from Melbourne Australia so trial day time starts after mid night I have the hugest head ache after watching day 14 trial 🥴

[@Faceteddreamer]

Hello there! I just recently found this channel and all of the Sarah BoonesFarm content. *I just have to let you know I AM HOOKED!* Now that Sarah is “over” I’m watching your D Brooks coverage and I just wanted to say thank you for answering questions and keeping it real for us, your viewers. After I’m done with your Darrell videos I’m not sure what I’ll watch next because your channel has SSSOOOO MUCH other content, I’m actually excited! Lastly, Merry Holidays to everyone that reads this comment and to your entire team Peter, *y’all are true crime ROCK STARS* that is my own personal opinion of course. 🌹 👏 💗

[@sharonmccarthy416]

So happy to see you and your father breaking down this content for us, thanks for your time 🙂✌🇨🇦

[@annemarieallaire6564]

How fun to have Poppa Tragos with you recapping today's events in DB trial. Thank you as it was great!👍👍

[@mariechapple2097]

We are so glad you have had your dad on with you to discuss this case, you are both great.

[@cristinavolpi7856]

New sub here! I’ve been listening everyday and watching when I can.. brooks is a very conniving character. I think today was a complete circus and as patient as the judge has been she’s give him way too much leniency this whole time. I wish they could show the jury the stunts and his demeanor throughout.. there was times he stared down and even flinched his head in a threatening manner. If you’ve seen more than just the last couple hours of the trial you’d have to wonder what he’s done to his exes in the past... I can only imagine the abuse they’ve endured. I’m trying to have some faith in the jury but I think about the jury in the Casey Anthony trial and how everyone thought they’d definitely come back with a guilty verdict.. I wonder how many of the jury could have the same morals or lack of. Brooks ran that courtroom because the judge allowed it. Worried af right now..

[@bridgittemoon7613]

That was my thought when Prosecution said let him argue jury nullification. They gave him enough rope.

[@frelnc]

How cool is that that these two say "Love you" before parting. Awesome.

[@deandreworley6502]

You guys really helped me understand a lot about this trial

[@RichKatRanch]

Rewatch crew member here! I watched last night before I went to sleep. I was so, so tickled to have Papa Tragos join you! I'm so drained after closing arguments - likely just the final "release" after so much tension and craziness of the last few weeks.I think I felt every negative emotion a person can experience as I watched. I've learned more from you during this trial than all of the other ones you've covered that I've watched! Thank you for helping to make sense of some really complicated and confusing things! At this point, I don't know how there could be any FAIR compensation for being an attorney! I imagine you could tell us many more wild stories than you've already shared. Here's to the next 150K subscribers and the next 1K+ learning opportunities you will give all of us. Much appreciation and love to you, your family, and my LYK family from RichKat Ranch ♥

[@samizdat113]

Subject matter: you ran over 61 people with your car Jurisdiction: that's a crime

[@peggyfrench-steward4226]

Nice to see the family working together

[@thesassynae]

I understand so much more because of you guys. I love law even more than i did in the nick Cruz case! This was bananas

[@cindyfaulkner5725]

Thank you Peter, it was lovely to see your Dad joining in, look forward to seeing him again

[@thebluehotel426]

Hi Mr. Tragos. Thanks for joining.

[@sydneyalberts7945]

Love your fathers commentary! Thanks for bringing him on! ❤

[@monams2514]

I cried when she said all that

[@karenyells2730]

Thank you Papa and Peter x I couldn’t stay up any longer so fell asleep but I’m ready for the verdict today 🤞

Love your dad 😍 he is an amazing attorney..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 handsome too.

[@robbiepompa8725]

Thank you poppa Tragos for your insight and experience . You guys make a great team! Do we get to hear the decision when the jury is finished?

[@HomeGypsy]

You betcha!

[@JoST41]

His mom represented herself in a civil case regarding a mortgage she was in default on, she won by default bc the plaintiff didn’t show up. That’s where he got all of that from. It was a CIVIL case.

[@lesliebyrum8934]

Thank you for your service both of y'all

[@Laura_________]

I was enjoying the chill stream with you and your dad. Was a bit disappointed when you closed this one down to go join another streamer and a chaotic panel.

[@falseking989]

Papa Tragos is amazing. He’s a great story teller.

[@EricMcDowellegm]

You guys are the best, hands down. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@jillwilliams-lansford6465]

Yeah! We love when Papa Tragos adds his expertise!

[@FreeBird-ui8py]

Peter you are absolutely amazing! However, with your dad on also - it is beyond amazing!! To get the wisdom of Mr. Tragos is so special. Thank you for helping us all understand more of how it all works.

[@beastoned8596]

Thank you both 👍🏻 ❤️from Winnipeg 🇨🇦

[@CP-qz1oi]

The post on the subredditt - there was a line in there that went something like "the jury seems how the Judge treats Brooks when the jury is not in thhe room". so how can that post be from a jury member???? Besides which, not much of a problem of tracking IP address

[@FiendlingBM]

VPN's exist, IP addresses aren't nearly as valuable as they used to be. Jurors probably do look up stuff when they get out for the day. Saying that, I agree that's it's more than likely total BS.

[@BFT88]

Exactly. Also the fact that the subreddit in its entirety was erased an hour after the judge brought it up. The jury was still in deliberation so no way was it a real juror who made the post in the subreddit.

[@ChiquiTuni]

Papa tragos, I hope you are so proud of you vey classy contene!

[@joyceyagoda4207]

The Waupun Correctional Institution is a maximum security penitentiary in Waupun, Wisconsin. The prison is under the command of Warden Randall Hepp. NRHP reference No.

[@centexan]

Once the jury started deliberations and the reality of no mistrial and judge recusal was no longer possible, Brooks showed his true colors. He started joking about subject matter jurisdiction with the judge and she had none of it. And I truly don't get why the judge hears arguments about the jury seeing exhibits that were admitted into evidence. Can't she just assemble the parties and inform them of what the jury wants and that she is sending the items? They have every right to see any exhibit that was admitted during the trial without listening to Brooks' bullshit objections.

[@amymiller2974]

So enjoy when your Dad joins us ❤

[@tinanevitt1003]

Your Dad was an amazing addition to what happened today, watching late after seeing you on Emily. Had to do work things, so catching up

[@chelly2468]

Good point from your dad. Really cool to hear his thoughts. Thanks for the awesome video! 😊

[@juliehaddon2830]

I can’t believe db wants people to feel sorry for him??? He killed six people!’ He shows no remorse and only feels bad for himself

[@lesliegierke6456]

Love listening to your father...he needs his own channel. Any possibility of that happening???

[@stephaniecarlson6689]

Thank you so very much🌺 Steph at NSW AUSTRALIA ❣️

[@vadenton8735]

Darrell is hoping for a miss trial now with Reddit

[@timeforchange3786]

When he was acting up i kept thinking of the Chicago Seven trial as well

[@nancykorensek4083]

There was a recall on quite a few Fords but not that one. Also, note that particular recall issue would have caused the car to stall, not accelerate. Thanks so much for the insights.

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

Just came over from Emily's stream although I was introduced to you with Depp v Heard. Thanks for the insights! Subbed!

[@venteuse]

This is a very friendly place for us law nerds, Peter keeps a polite house just like Emily

[@dsoule4902]

Oh that brooks had a judge Emily

[@pattyolson3842]

Thanks for another great recap with questions & answers! I caught this almost on replay, 1/2 way through. Great to see Papa Tragos! And get his experience with Sov. Citizens.

I only caught the tail end - I had to go out, not that I was watching a different channel 😁 so I’m part of the rematch crew this time instead of live.

Great program tonight. Thanks Trevose men!

[@Jazz1959]

The whole trial has been a roller coaster ride. But this trial isn’t about Brooks this trial is about all the victims he either murdered or hurt.

[@grip4us]

Great to hear from your dad!

[@MichelleKavarnos]

Love your work re! It's appreciated.

[@hollywilliams8472]

I love daddio!!!! You two have such a similar dynamic to me and my father, I think I’ve gained some beneficial insight. Thanks guys!

[@Djhikes63]

Hi Dad! Glad you're with us. Cool

[@veradarby7222]

I wish DA had talked about his driving speed . . . That if had been on a highway, he was not speeding. However, he was driving through a parade where the speed was ___ as stated by a driver of a truck in the parade. He was speeding, putting attendees and participant in danger.

[@joprent6727]

You and your Dad were so informative. I really liked both of your input on this case. So interesting...

[@lifesquandered]

I saw that exact comment on Law and Crime in the live chat. The same comment about the kangaroo court. Unless the juror was chatting live, it couldn't be a juror.

[@southernsass2937]

I missed this one. Still have a headache. Coming watch now. I see Poppa Tragos was here tonight. Thanks for everything you do Peter. Both of you are a Joy to see. ❣❣

[@Mytwopenceworth]

You should do a poll on the number of people Brooks feels is responsible for all this. The ex, her friends, the victims for not moving out of the way, the parents who didn't seek immediate medical attention, the car manufacturer, God, the court, the judge, the state, the technology... the only one who wouldnt be on the list is Brooks himself

[@barbwickland6066]

What I don't understand about sovereign citizen is, if they don't think they're under the law, why do they think they should be protected by it. How many times did he say, "that's not fair"? Just a thought...

[@Hidakaku56]

Honestly most sovcits just want the rights without the restrictions and responsibilities. Best way to put it is ‘rights for me and rules for thee’

[@camillajulianagonzalez6044]

I missed your live today. This trial is like a long travel back home. You have a stopover that is only a few hours away from your home, and you know that you are almost there but it feels so far away the closer you get! Oh, the torture!

[@StuckonStrings]

Merci Papa Tragos for your expertise and wisdom! I love love love the content with both of you amazing men! Wish my dad were as amazing as Papa Tragos and wish I had met a nice man like you Pete! If you have any single friends who are as nice and accomplished as you, this intelligent violinist is available lol ☺️

This is the only law channel that I watch.

[@shelbyschnoor9369]

Zaddy George! We missed you !

[@cindyfaulkner5725]

How can he claim he was running away from a knife when he knew there was no knife and didn’t find out about the knife until after he was arrested. His motive was total rage and someone was going to pay for him not being able to finish abusing his ex girlfriend. He made it blatantly obvious that the only reason he had the ex on the stand was to continue his abuse of her.

[@rosalynjeffery9510]

I think he was running EP over and over in the parade. He was so hell bent on destroying her that day and her friends came to her rescue and that pissed him off.

[@Inbetweenthelinesnow]

Plus he was the one that allegedly had the knife!

[@Nubifier]

It appears that subreddit is fully removed now. I've tried to look it up again after seeing it earlier today and it's gone.

[@michelledouglas7087]

Hi jjust wanted to leave a comment - I know it helps push your video out :) I did catch you live but I missed the first 15 min . Just wanted to say thanks once again for this amazing coverage and I enjoy listening and learning about the law and your opionions just like the DEPP trial. I also watched bunch of you on Emilys channel/. I have to say I told my friend I feel like Ikm hanging out with all these kind, intelligent , and fun people that I know lol - after the Depp trial of 6 weeks I was on you tube all day and all night LOL - cause I wasnt working still. so I am happy I took the time to get on youtube for this big trial. I feel bad saying I enjoy it - cause this is a serious trial - but i do enjoy listening to all of the lawyers. Saw you on FB during the day for a bit. I am 3 hours behined so I miss things at times and watch later. See you for the verdict!

[@loveandpeace7695]

Watched a lot of this trial, crazy stuff happened. So I am glad to hear a lawyers point of view to make sense of all this! Thank you for sharing your expertise. All I can say is this guy is very narcissistic and did not seem remorseful in his closing statement.The Christians I know own up to what they do and would take an opportunity like he had to do so. For him to mention his faith and what he was taught growing up made me wonder why he was not showing more remorse and empathy for his victims. He would have known better and made a more respectful effort throughout the trial. In fact , one could argue this would have never happened if he was truly close to the Lord Jesus. May justice be speedy here and he gets the punishment he deserves.

[@jenniferbossert2088]

DB has an open warrant in Nevada for failure to register as SO, how will that Nevada case play out after sentencing? Will he be extradited to Nevada?

[@bootsiesgirl2]

Good morning. New here. Sounds good so far

[@diameis5198]

Part of the rewatch crew. Great coverage Peter.

[@SDSOne]

I find it fascinating that someone could say this DA could have done a better job. She was speaking to normal people not lawyers. She held their hand through every step of every crime and every purposeful act. If this jury can’t convict on every count it has absolutely zero to do with how they presented the case nor the closing. Darrell Brooks isn’t a sovereign citizen.he’s just spouting nonsense someone told him and that he can’t even understand

[@janinelindsey6087]

I saw you on the group chat with Emily and friends. Great job! I wish Wisconsin had the death penalty. He should watch his back. Someone is going to get to him when he's in jail.

[@danielholt6741]

If the laws don't apply to him, then why does he bring up the Constitution?

[@Hidakaku56]

Because they want the rights of the constitution without having the responsibilities of being part of a society

[@lifesquandered]

I wondered that too. How can they square demanding to be sovereign with demanding their constitutional rights? Like, if someone asked them about that, what would they say?

[@debdavis7382]

Thank you both!!

[@wendilandkammer8368]

If sovereign citizens believe that government and laws don't apply to them how can they claim the constitution does?

[@ayalex05]

I watched EDB before I watched you, it's like time travel. lol. Thanks for the awesome coverage of this insane case.
