His defense was that he wasn't speeding and he honked his horn, so it wasn't his fault that people didn't get out of his way fast enough. He blamed his victims because he is a malignant narcissist and he believes he can do no wrong. The truth is that he was out on bail, he beat up his ex girlfriend, her friends called the cops, and he was enraged and didn't want to go back to jail. So, in his rage and fear of arrest he mowed over dozens of people without blinking an eye because they were in his way and he's a monster. I'm glad that he will never be allowed in public again to hurt the innocent, he deserves his life sentence.

I think one of the funniest aspect of this case is that the jury returned verdicts on 76 counts in about 3 hours. That's about 2.5 minutes per verdict, including any breaks. Just going through and signing the forms would take at least 30 minutes, That tells me that there was absolutely no disagreement in the jury room.

[@QemeH]

I think the major "sticking point" was the last charge. It is also the only charge they requested to re-watch evidence for on the second day. It should also be said that these jurors were apparently willing to WORK, because they requested evidence late into the first day and elected a very late stopping time when the judge clearly gave them the option to break whenever they felt like it. So it is safe to assume they didn't argue a lot, just made sure among themselves that everybody was in agreement on EVERY charge - you know, to be thorough.

I disagree. The Judge should have told Brooks that his right to represent himself would be affirmed by the court CONTINGENT on his capability to present a defense. When Brooks got out of line the first time he should have been warned. The second time, a Public Defender takes over and Brooks would have been gagged and restrained as necessary. No court in the land is impressed by cranky defendants. So...I disagree....This Judge is MUCH too permissive. But, I absolutely agree that the Judge is called the Judge for good reason...... It was her call.

That jury nullification thing really hits home with me. I'm a prosecutor in a small rural county and I had a trial where a young man (21 or 22) was accused of burglary. We had it on video - he broke into the store, he shoved as much beer as he he could down his pants and carried out two more cases, but all the jury found him guilty for was petty theft. Their reasoning: He's just a young man and didn't *_need_* a felony burglary on his record. All that did was encourage him to do commit more crimes because he thought he could get away with them even if caught. Now he's in prison for 10 years after being convicted of his 5th DUI offense, so at least karma caught up to him.

Now that I've had a chance to sit down and realize what was going on with this case, I realized that it wasn't just the judge that Brooks was trying to get to slip up. It was everybody. Because if one person had slipped up in this whole thing, he could called a mistrial. The whole point of this case is getting everybody to be the reason why the mistrial was called. I forgot about when apparently there was a tweet that happened and he tried to use that tweet for the mistrial. The questions that he asked the witnesses, if he had gotten the rise that he wanted out of them, that would have been a reason for mistrial. If he had gotten somebody in the jury to act out of conduct, that would have been a reason for the mistrial. That's what this whole thing was about. Who can I pull to be the reason why there is a mistrial? And there was no one who jumped. So as much as we applaud the judge for her professionalism. Each and every person in that courtroom deserves, I think, just as much praise, especially the victims and those affected.

[@XstonedmonkeyzX]

Spot on 👍🤙

[@marcc4303]

Lol you give him way to much credit. Brooks is not that smart and he had absolutely no plan or strategy. A motion for a mistrial has to include a legal basis supporting it . Simply getting a witness to react or say something inappropriate is not in and of itself a reason for a mistrial. Furthermore, a mistrial simply means that the case would need to be prosecuted again so a mistrial would not benefit Brooks other than to further delay the inevitable.

Technically it is in the law. No Jury member has to explain his vote. So at the end the prosecution can have the best proven case in the world.
