If people play a drinking game because of his stupidity, that's on them and worthy of a Darwin Award. Guaranteed death. As for the delay in proceedings he's clearly attempting to do, the judge has made the right call simply because she needs to show whoever takes up this case on the inevitable appeal that every chance was given, every courtesy was extended, and even when not allowed to do so, she gave explanations as reasonably as she could under the circumstances about legal definitions and proceedings thereby going above and beyond what he deserves as someone who has made a perilous error in judgement. He's trying to play the system as all of these sovereign citizens do with their tactics, but she's clearly ensuring that any appeal gets denied because he's proven himself to be unable to act with any common courtesy. There's room for dark humor in these proceedings, but remember that not everyone will get it or approve due to the tragic nature of the circumstances that bring these people together...

I think by allowing him to represent himself that in itself could lead to a mistrial as this man is clearly both mentally ill and low IQ.

Anyone claiming that the Judge shouldn't have allowed him to represent himself, she had no ground to make that ruling. By law she followed everything she was allowed to do and he still met the low bar for competency to represent himself which is a right given to all. As for people claiming this will lead to a mistrial, it will not. He knowingly filled out the waiver and acknowledge it in court. If he claims he didn't or that he doesnt understand what he attested to, he will have perjured himself under the law and can be subject to additional charges. To anyone claiming the judge is setting it up for him to appeal, see the previous sentence.

I respectfully disagree... I truly believe this whole time that he was quite certain he was smart enough to somehow get out of this. He seriously thought everyone except the court and the prosecution was on his side... and that he was smarter than the law, the Court, the attorneys and the jury.. He didn't begin to realize this was really going to happen until the last 2 days of trial. We're talking about a man who thinks he knows so much, that he believed he could just *PooF* avoid being charged by denying to be charged. But yes, of course he loves the attention.. but he doesn't even realize the drama and just how ignorant & unlikable he is showing himself to be.. he believes all his outbursts , absurdities & moot points are genius bc he doesn't even have the awareness that he's behaving like a toddler throwing a fit.

I feel so sorry for the COs that are responsible for moving and monitoring Brooks!!! His levels of disrespect are off all the charts!!! I cant imagine being so negative all the time, as Brooks is showing! I understand he is defending his own freedom. I totally get that but, at the same time, hes been given all opportunity to have a well educated defense team, that he denied after a long consideration and questioning session by the Judge. Brooks is digging his own hole, the full green mile, all on his own! All in my own opinion, of course.

I am sorry for the victims, the victim's families & friends, the Judge, the State attorneys. I'm sorry for everyone involved. I cannot imagine the patience it takes to stay calm when this man is trying everything in his power to set himself up for a successful appeal. The Judge is doing everything she can to avoid that. I feel for the State's attorney too. She knows the victims and wants to try a real case, not a circus act. Wow, this is going to be a hard one to watch.

I have an unpopular take on Judge Dorow. Whereas she was careful not to commit any errors that would cause a mistrial or the grounds for an overturn of a guilty verdict, I was very annoyed by the fact that she would at times provide way more commentary and responses to his antics than necessary, giving him the opportunity to respond to whatever she said. I felt like that was feeding him with material to respond to and that’s what kept him talking at times, knowing he wasn’t going to pass on an opportunity to take the spotlight, something that narcissists need. Just my opinion

[@toddmerriss]

I agree. She was way too lenient with him. Once he was removed from the courtroom, he should have stayed out for the day.

[@jaded_dahlia]

Keep that lady on the bench. She handled a monster just the way IT should have been handled. IT”S mother didn’t know how to raise IT, obviously.

I actually want Brooks to live a very long life. May he be Blessed with another 60+ years on this Earth. He is in solitary confinement. That's not going to go away.

​@@becalfarris3520 Same with me. I am watching this for the first time after watching the full trial twice. And after getting over the initial distraction and shock at seeing a trial like this, I a watching a third time and seeing how clear his intentions were from the very beginning. THIS is why he wanted to represent himself because he wanted to have control over trying to sabotage the trial. Epic failure on his part. Not just that he got convicted, but that he was forced to listen to what his victims had to say, and Judge Dorow's speech during sentencing let him know he didn't fool her for a minute. He played himself...and now he'll spend the rest of his life behind prison walls.

He was going to drag this out one way or the other and judge was going to drag him kicking and screaming the whole time no matter that. In the end, she won and the victims won.

More likely his attorneys, being very competent, as Judge Dorow assured him, were resisting his use of all the sovcit BS he WANTED to use, and advising against it, so he, being "smarter" than they are, thought he would be far better at representing himself.
