LIVE: Real Lawyer Reacts - Waukesha County Parade Suspect Darrell Brooks Trial Day 8 Recap

He thinks he’s making a point by saying “how do you know it was “you” or whoever “you is”. Just because someone didn’t know your name was “Darrell Brooks” at the time they saw YOU, doesn’t mean they cannot identify YOU. I bet some of the jurors just want to scream.

[@divinemischief4655]

It's so crazy, and infuriating. He really is making a complete fool of himself

[@windywednesday4166]

The Good Samaritan neighbor: the first thing I noticed was how visibly shaken he was when he told about talking to his neighbors and finding out what had happened. Both times. The second thing I noticed was that he appeared to feel that his Hospitality had been seriously abused. Righteous indignation. The third thing I noticed was that he was really disturbed about being associated with DB and accused of being in cahoots with him... I felt like the main reason he released the video was to exonerate himself, and put the focus on where it should be. Also he donated a certain amount of the money to the victim fund.

[@MikeDQB]

The way Mr. Brooks is being rude to the court clerk gets my blood boiling. There's no reason for him to be so rude.

It gets WAY worse as the trial progresses and he’s going to deserve everything coming to him. I don’t say this often but they should have just recommended the DP and he would not be missed in society. He will forever be a criminal because he believes law and order doesn’t apply to him.

[@sww3405]

I think that the guy who saved that voice message was smart in doing so! Who knows what could come down the pike later in a case like this? Darrell could have tried to implicate him or something. And we all know how frustrating it is when video/audio gets lost in criminal investigations. To answer your question: no way in hell I’d let a stranger into my home unless it was a woman and my gut instinct told me she really needed help and wasn’t dangerous. I wish it wasn’t dangerous to extend kindness to strangers… but it just is. Maybe if I were a man I’d feel differently…

[@alley1433]

There is video of him at the preliminary hearing, he did hear that plea. He is just being an asshole. Also the judge said: if you want to accept the plea, he will have to file the proper paperwork.

[@AuntDo]

The judge did not tell Brooks he had to give an exact order of witnesses. She told him to group them by First Day, morning; First Day, afternoon; Second Day, morning; Second Day, afternoon, etc. That was only reasonable, both for the witness' sake, plus the fact that the state has to be the ones contacting them. Most people who have jobs and families can't sit at a courthouse for days on end, and that's absolutely inconsiderate of any lawyer to expect that of them. But Brooks even refused to do that (give in groups) until the judge said the DA said she "wouldn't have to call them" if he didnt.

[@robinbeck4610]

Yeah, he’s a real a-hole. When he stayed at his mom’s he had a blowup mattress that cut off the main pathway through the house. He doesn’t care. About anything or anyone except himself. He’s been getting away with it his whole life. I can’t see him changing now for witnesses who he doesn’t know, hasn’t spoken to and has no idea what he’s going to ask them! 😊

[@Inbetweenthelinesnow]

If he was forced to call them himself? He would of just told them to come on the same day, IMO. Cause remember? She clearly told him, it wouldn’t be fair to have them come on the same day!😂😂😂😂

[@Gorgon132]

at 38:40 The question about handing your cellphone or opening up homes to a stranger. The guy did the most Midwestern thing: Warm them up then feed them (seriously food is non-negotiable). Wisconsinites never really give it a second thought. We often go a little over board with generosity and hospitality to those in need, and with how bad winter gets here helping complete strangers no questions asked is just second nature. If it was any other day or any other person I can say 100% that guy would have not have asked for his coat back. It wasnt until the situation seemed off with the sirens that the home owner started putting up his defenses in his mind. As for the home owner I saw nothing wrong selling HIS footage. Not a lot happens here in WI and Waukesha only has 73k pop so that kinda big news in quiet town. He'll get his time in the limelight then itll just shrink down to a "remember when" then turns into a small fun fact down at the bar years later about the guy.

6 consecutive life sentences is quite a good deal for destroying 50+ people's lives (not to mention extended family, friends, etc...). This guy deserves to have all sentences running consecutively without parole.

[@lesliep5142]

He was a lot slimmer at the time of arrest, he has bulked up and is wearing shoes

[@mellvee]

Shaving those nasty, musty fake dreads, exchanging his skanky jeans and Brewers slides (which he kept calling 'Packers flip flops') for a big boy's suit, and taking an occasional shower has helped alter his appearance drastically, also. lol. He's gross. His ghastly, talon-like fingernails are the only thing left on him to reflect the unwashed gremlin that he was prior to his arrest for the parade attack. Erika said that his personal hygiene is horrifically lax, and that he never washed or groomed himself. I find Erika's contention that the reason Officer/Chief Rebecca Carpenter thought his jeans were 'soft pants' and not denim jeans, was because he wore items for weeks at a time between showering himself or washing the clothing, and they were probably so filthy that they felt greasy and soft, more akin to sweatpants or joggers than jeans.

This is very old, but I’ve never heard Peter give info out that wasn’t spot on until I rewatched this video! “I accept for value, and return for value” has a specific SovCit meaning. When SovCit is billed for taxes, the write “I accept for value, and return for value” meaning use my million dollars in my straw man account to pay these taxes.

[@rebeccalittle2160]

He's definitely not stupid but he's extremely ignorant in many ways and he's certainly not as smart as he thinks he is.. I think for the most part he's just a very very skilled manipulator and much of his 'smarts' is just a mechanism he's developed in his endless attempts at manipulating everyone around him.

[@mellvee]

He's such a bad liar. First of all, of course his prior counsel informed him of the plea offer. They're required to go to him with any offer, and they did not deviate from that ethical obligation somehow to intentionally avoid notifying him of a plea offer extended. No appellate court or bar association would ever believe him that they didn't tell him, especially when he has ripped up court orders and other documents on camera and then lied repeatedly about not ever recieving the documents. He's thrown away documents and then lied and said he never recieved them. He's refused to accept documents served upon him while in his cell and then lied about recieving them. If he said prior counsel never brought a plea offer to him and they said they did, it would be over and no one would believe him. He's shown himself to be an absolute shameless and degenerate liar over and over throughout the trial, and his word would hold zero credibility with any higher court. My guess is that prior counsel, knowing what an absolute a** and complete reprobate he is, saw those types of issues coming from a mile away and made notes as to when, exectly, they notified him of the plea offer. Contemporaneous records from an attorney would be all any bar association or higher court would need.

[@laurenbrooks3091]

*17:35* This was one of my favorite days of the trial because these witnesses got him so worked up (like this witness) that Darrell Brooks forgot he "wasn't" Darrell Brooks. Darrell challenging, "Does it look like I'm five foot nine??" 😂😂 I just finished watching every hour of the trial, and I have never felt so satisfied at watching a sentence (76 in his case) handed to someone. Judge Dorow, the prosecution team, the witnesses, and jury were all phenomenal! I've never seen anything like this in all the years I've studied true crime.

[@lindarushton6502]

I think main concern with Darrell is that he will argue the structure of the prison itself, and convince the bars to disintegrate . He argued from first interrogation and is still arguing. He can't stop...

[@NotDecided420]

His mother said that he didn't even know what he did. He's not medicated for his "illness" They DID subpoena his mother but withdrew that. But his mother who he's obviously speaking to is telling him that he's coming across as bad. So after the first week, he stopped his shenanigans and put on a suit. He's now gained a Bible too. It's all an act, but I'd suggest he's possibly got some sort of aspergers syndrome judging by him not having any feelings about what happened. No empathy. Just fake tears and a Bible with a Harry Potter book in the middle of it. It's embarrassing how he goes from gang banger to Bible boy. I don't think so. And I cannot wait for sentencing and moreover, the judge's final remarks which he CANNOT interrupt! She will unload on him for wasting time. For sovcidiot arguments. A frivolous waste of time. I hope she absolutely destroys him. Guess who's going to be dragged away screaming at the court, off to do 7 life sentences. *DARRELL BROOKS!*

I shoot off at the lips a little too much - why I’m not a judge and was never selected to be a juror lol. My only ONLY only gripe with the judge is how easily she gives in to explaining terms to him. He doesn’t listen. He just automatically thinks it’s an excuse to act as if everyone in that courtroom is out to get him and make everything unfair. Like when she was explaining cross and leading questions … just went in one ear and out the other. He still continued to get upset over it even after it was explained, so I find myself “shewwwwww’ing” a lot when she starts to hold his hand through it. Waste of time - time they’re already behind on because of him.

I thought it was just an ID, not actual license?

[@juliebrownlie5330]

He had no defence so he would never have testified. I also don’t think he was dumb. He is calculated and sneaky.

[@stephjovi]

The plea was exactly as I thought they should offer. We charge you for the murders 6 consecutive life sentences, but hey we drop the other charges. 😂.we drop the reckless endangerment for the non injured people. How tempting. At least we learned that he is a murderer but not a thief. Gotta say what Natalie had guessed about his reaction to the judge being nice to him has been proven. He was so touched that that one guy was so kind. Letting him in giving him a sandwich and a jacket. I felt bad for him. Than I remembered. He's got an ex gf who kept coming back to him. She must have been nice to him. He called mamma who was worried about him He had people who were nice to him

[@justincraig398]

True, and he probably would have had more people in his life that were nice to him if he wasn’t such a narcissist and scumbag.

[@kyfarm]

You forgot the part where he threw them under the bus at every opportunity. Look how he treated the sandwich guy on the stand. brooks is evil, he just is.

[@kristinwidman1249]

Thanks for breaking it down - love your channel!

[@Starryeyz]

I thought the AH JD trial was hard to watch. This guy is something else! This judge is amazing

[@socalrobert8748]

No way would I let a stranger at my door use my phone. But I'm in Los Angeles.

[@carolynstrozier3179]

Life in prison with out parole, and all appeals denied. With all the evidence pointing to know one else should have been enough for know trial

[@vero37lily]

Now I've started to watch almost everything sped up, because of you 😂😂😂

[@heatherhensley9183]

We have too many homeless people here in ca that aren’t taking their meds for their issues and are unstable in the neighborhood so I would not let a stranger in sadly Lots of robberies these days I wish there was more support for the homeless as well as those w mental health issues

[@NotDecided420]

And please stop giving him credit for the public defender's notes that he's reading off. He didn't do any of that. He's simply reading off their notes. You can tell when he runs out of their questions. Don't give him credit. He doesn't deserve it, and "he doesn't consent to being called that name!" 🤣🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@cindyleasure6901]

Hello from Florida ! Been watching the case from the beginning.

[@kristajohnson9243]

Just watched mothers interview. She was subpoened but it has been withdrawn. My guess is because mom thinks he was out of his mind and didn't know what he was doing and says he doesn't remember. She also thinks he should get help instead of being sent to prison.

[@georgiabadon2577]

When he brings up SMJ the judge should just ignore him listen hiw he lies about not knowing about the offer but is put on record

[@HaloSgtMajor]

He killed 6 folks. What a piece of garbage. His statements should not even be taken seriously and Im tired of him saying "would it be fair to say."

[@kari547]

The sold video was interesting to me but I probably would have sold it too so it didn’t bother me much. But today’s exhibits (including the voicemail) sealed the case for me.

[@WickedDreams81]

Rewatch here because I seen you recapping this case and explaining his babble so Thank you amazing job

[@kparr76]

Auto Insurance will not cover because he was not a legally covered driver and he had no legal license.

[@windywednesday4166]

17:07 DB was definitely messing with the wrong witness there. I totally missed the driver's license angle and just looked up what is height and weight was... LOL, the guy was spot on.

[@alley1433]

That guy who let DB in was a hunter, very tall and unflinched by him, that’s why he let him in.

[@charocarrandi5868]

Peter, can the state show the pictures of all the injured and dead, just to state who the injured party were?

[@SJC49]

That would be particularly inappropriate and cause further distress to the families. It was distressing enough when the coroners published their autopsy diagrams and descriptions of the injuries causing the 6 deaths.

[@windywednesday4166]

I think it could be done Tastefully and Respectfully. Possibly in the closing they can use a map and call out all the names. I think it would be very respectful to have the names of every single person that was hit read out for the record.
