How anyone before this horrible deed was done good spend more than 20 minutes in a room with him is totally beyond me I think Mr Brooks should change his attitude now that it will be going to bed and waking up in a prison surrounding everyday for the rest of his Natural Life. I did a little research on some of the violent career criminals that are in the Wisconsin prison system and some of the most deadliest in the country reside there in these institutions my caution Mr Brooks maybe change his attitude and even if not he has made a lot of enemy with by this heinous crime of mowing down and discriminate people with his vehicle and murdering a 7 year old child and murdering five senior citizens he will not obviously be very popular just like the late Jeffrey Dahmer the cannibal was it took two years for a convict to totally cave and Jeffrey Dahmer and his cellmates heads in I think he the murderer kills his cellmate I guess because nothing leave any Witnesses but the cops the prison guards knew who it was as soon as they found the bodies with their heads completely crushed in you know I don't wish this on anyone but I would advise Mr Brooks to be very careful very careful I don't see him lasting more than 2 years people get complacent and especially and that kind of world they live in and atmosphere the second you let your guard down will be the very next second you're dead in prison

United States, 526 U.S. 226, 245 (1999).

because his mother supported him. he lived with her, used her car, used her ssi money.

[@drewoke5046]

Not just his mother. His baby mom was so desperate that she decided to have a child with him.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

Because he's a Karen. A Murdering Karen. He talks over people, raises his voice and threatens people - there's many people like him. Often it's easier to just let them have their way.

[@consuelobaker8224]

i would’ve been in the back like, “can we convict him already?”

[@Sheeett]

Legend says he’s still trying to inform them of their power

[@ChrisMorray]

Would have been better for his case if he gave them a reason to use this power. Like, does he not realize nobody will nullify the law for a violent psychopath who killed 6 people and injured dozens?

[@TR_TenSeven]

@@ChrisMorray I was wondering this same thing back when watching the trial live. If a defendant is going to go for jury nullification he has to get the jury to love, Love, LOVE him. DB went out of his way to get the jury to completely loathe him and had no chance at nullification.

[@maryfitzpatrick3252]

Was in awe of this judge throughout. She knows he is angling for contempt citation and a mistrial. She is having none of it. But she orchestrates with a deft hand, leaving no grounds for appeal. Kudos, Judge Jenn.

[@probablyprudence39]

Spot on...he was looking for a mistrial by any means necessary. So sad. My heart ❤ goes out to all of the victims 💔 and their family. 🙏

[@sheiliaprather4006]

Exactly...looking for a mistrial. That's not going to happen here!

[@jimanderson5883]

Especially nullifying it for a POS like him.

[@gab31282]

This guy is an absolute expert at arguing out of his ass. Got a feeling his fellow inmates are going to end this habit asap.

[@dianedusendang8358]

One can only hope that this is what is occurring!

[@sdimagpie6854]

I don't think this guy is going to be around any other inmates for a long time. He'll probably spend the next 20 years in solitary

God, I love Sue Opper!! She's absolutely brilliant, level headed and courageous. She looked evil in the eye and kicked him in the balls. Dang!!

[@annalee117]

I am fascinated by the judge's complete restraint and control of her reactions to this infuriating person filled with and exuding constant emotional triggers.

[@UptownLexi]

She’s probably channeling her frustration and anger into making sure he has NO ability to get away with this BS again.

[@selfesteem3447]

[@catiepage9189]

A person representing themselves should be held to the same standards as any attorney in court. No other attorney would get away with this kind of behavior, the disrespect and constant interruptions and outbursts.

[@NursePN09]

It all helped convict him. Let him put hisself away.

[@MsShandy111]

Yes that's right. He was angling for a mistrial or contempt of court, so the judge gave him some leeway.

[@loganchandler7621]

Not just the mistrial aspect, but law professionals have things to lose, this clown doesn’t. He has no BAR to lose, he has no morals. Nothing at all except evil from this clown

this judge could be the best mentor ever...her patience and willingness to teach and educate someone is amazing

I think she was a law professor. She’s definitely schooled all of us. We wouldn’t normally get to hear any of this, if competent attorneys are involved(not Brooks)

"A man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client..." Never has that phrase rang more true than here 🤦

[@photofinish8607]

Many innocent people have been found guilty, because of what you think. I won’t feel bad if it happens to you.

[@lotekpro]

@@photofinish8607 huh? That's a well known adage in jurisprudence! Even the best lawyers do NOT represent themselves in court. Also the defendant in this case is GUILTY so WTF is your point?? Not one single person has been found guilty "because of what I think" LMFAO let alone an innocent person. And just to make sure you are clear as you don't seem too bright. Darrell Brookes is GUILTY of 6 homicides and could have been charged with hundreds, maybe even thousands, of counts of reckless endangerment not just the few dozen on the charging documents. He is not a trained lawyer and knows very little if anything about court proceedings. He was a fool to represent himself. End.of.story.
