Seriously could you have imagined what it would have been like if he had actually had representation? It probably would have been relatively close to the same thing and they would have started the actual trial and then he wouldn't have been able to rant like he did when representing himself so he would have probably ended up firing them anyway.

Hi Law & Crime. Can you please please please create a playlist of all the Waukesha trial recordings in order on your site & on KZbin? All the pretrial hearings are titled the same & its realty difficult to find which is first since there are no dates on anything & the recordings are all mixed up on your video list. This is an excellent trial for psychology, medical, law, law enforcement & other students to study & most of your recordings are very good for that so will probably be accessed a lot over years. Some of the early pretrial ones have dreadful audio though - it’s way too quiet, so if you can do anything to fix that, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊

Doesn’t matter if he represents himself or has representation, either way he is will get a life sentence. Representing himself will just give the judge a migraine everyday of hearings or trial. My prayers go out the the court and pa.

[@lcrace4148]

Sadly it allows him to traumatize his victims because she has no control what he may or may not say. Most attorney's would have a "filter " over their comments. He is a sick disgusting individual! I am not sure what the ramifications are for a "fair trial" if he says/does things that would get lawyers disbarred or defendants removed from a courtroom. If he continually does or says things, can she remove him and hold him in contempt of court and allow the proceedings to move forward? If not, I am sure that is what he plans to do so he can try to get a "mistrial"

Watching this hearing on the other side of the trial, I see how so many of the difficulties and his antisocial personality disorder are being foreshadowed in the hearing. Judge Dorow saw all this ahead of time. She knew what she dreaded was coming. A rough road brilliantly traveled and overcome.

[@tiffanyholman4028]

I'm watching this after watching the whole trial too. Man, she played the long game with him very well. She's been brilliant from the start and he just got worse and worse as more evidence came in. He started falling apart after he realized his witnesses were making the states case.

[@allisonjames2923]

Judge Dorow is not just exceptionally patient with Brooks, but she does an excellent job of not letting his horrific crime, his misbehaviour, his arrogance & obnoxiousness affect the way she treats him. Even during the trial when she obviously gets extremely frustrated with his attempts to taint the jury with his SovCitiot 💩, she still manages to rein it in & treat him with courtesy, respect & reasonableness. I wish she was a Federal Supreme Court Judge & hope she is appointed one day, as even though she was initially appointed by a Republican to one of her roles, I think she might actually be able to remain impartial & not become a political pawn like most of the current FSC judges.

[@reptarDISCO]

That's a scary thought

[@duelz3885]

The phrase “Sovereign Citizen” is an oxymoron. I think the CIA brainwashed those people because they were ripe to actually change their status. The status I assume they’re shooting for is “Non-Citizen/U.S National” which is a status approved by the “Secretary of State” only to people who have the wherewithal to understand the process and implications. Technically a status applied to a passport indicated by 5 stars. The status informs non-Federal Law Enforcement via the LexisNexis system that the individual being entered into the system is on a “do not detain list”. Thus the National isn’t subject under the “discretion” of an officer and shall be free from involuntary detention, the subject may only be “Under Arrest” for a “Crime”. Any non-Criminal Statute,Code,Infraction,Policy, or ordinance cannot be PC for involuntary detainment. Fortunately they’re still subject to enforcement of every law,statute,code,policy, and infraction but, they cannot be involuntarily detained unless it’s “criminal” causing injury. Once their “do not detain” status is apparent they MUST be free to go and the onus is on the “Law Enforcement” to give citations or summons within consensual/voluntary “proper service of process” This passport status was intended but not limited to people born or living within the territory of the of the United States but aren’t a Citizen of any of the several States. This would include Washington D.C, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and so on. The unforeseen implication is that ANYONE can formally renounce their citizenship and still be a U.S. National. Resulting in certain immunities related to jurisdiction powers. The Idea was that any National non citizen traveling between territories of the U.S would be protected from the discriminative undue scrutiny and involuntary investigative detention related to their non-citizens status while still retaining the benefits,Rights, and protections a U.S Citizen would be afforded. Obviously such a legal status was poised to be appropriated and exploited by legally affluent people although it’s perfectly legal. At some point in time people became privy to this and would alter their status to retroactively and systematically remove themselves from Jurisdictions that had already established criminal or civil cases against that person. “Perfectly Legal” yet it alerted some concerns about the implication. So they added a questionnaire to the application of renunciation of Citizenship as a deterrent, “what is your purpose/reason for the change of status?” Although its a shall honor declaration answering the question however has no effect. For the people who acquired this status it became apparent they’re 1 bad apple away from having this law amended to be “may honor” at the discretion of the Secretary of State and subject to background checks. So they don’t showboat or brag they Gate-Keep this process. Someone at some point witnessed a sovereign U.S National flex their immunities for clout, thus the ridiculous “Sovereign Citizen” movement was born, seasoned with a generous amount of disinformation and misdirection by what I would assume to be CIA assets they have curtailed significantly the mass exodus of U.S citizenship. Now we have layman persona’s who believe that they can just informally declare that status whilst mischaracterizing the status as being a “sovereign citizen” in a ultimate display of irony.

His anger oozes out everywhere. He doesn’t trust anyone around him even his own family. His mother is a terrible person as well. Trying to get somebody to coach him in an insanity plea and trying to trick the court with that recall crap.

[@shawnalloyd2112]

The fact his mom called the police on the 21st and said her SUV was STOLEN by her son

[@Lei-AICPhD]

She tried to get him off by giving him all kinds of bs help throughout. Like Dawn, honey, accept he can’t be out in public at all! He can’t live in her house because he shot at his nephew who lives with Dawn. They’re horrible! Like stop, tell him to man up and be decent and accept his fate

[@rosearellanes5648]

Dawn Woods, is also the person who bailed out her POS, of a son. If not for her, he would never have been free to kill/ injure all these people

[@jasonrichards5854]

to be honest, i LOVE watching people like this dude, they think they are all put together, and tyring to impress all there friends with the amount of knowledge they have about everything and thinking that they can manipulate everyone and everything in their path, but once they get in front of a judge, they crumble faster then a sugar cookie being rolled over by a semi tire............

[@ConservativeGangstR]

mmmm, sugar cookie

[@tommybickford4236]

He remembers words he learned off the internet but never learned what they meant , and yeah he planned on putting on a show for his buddies . By the end they'll learn things never to do like represent yourself .

[@elmerjfapp5730]

I like the sugar cookie part but the rest is meh. Could you elaborate more on what the cookie is made of?

[@jasonrichards5854]

sure, well, if i am using the sugar cookie as a metaphor in this situation as being the defendant in this case, then, i would have to say that the sugar cookie is made of nothing more then a brown paper bag, which, as we all know, docent hold up to ANYTHING when it has any kind of pressure placed on it

Imagine living through this and having the pr ick that tried to mow you down questioning you in court .

[@jamescollier3]

well, at least you know he won't on appeal

[@momof4kids735]

I watched ALL of these pretrial videos where DB was explained by the judge what self representation means in detail, and was told many times that NO STAND BY COUNSEL WOULD BE PROVIDED. He knew all of this, and purposely played these games. He understands most of what is happening, but he is still trying to get out of the consequences. SMH

[@brendagoodman9790]

As proper he could hire and pay for a stand by arrorney himself. The state would not pay for it.

I would say so does everyone in the world, but there are some illiterate weirdos that pop up randomly online to defend him. So 99.999% of the world.

Random Weirdos just like him, idiotic, narcissistic, wannabe ganstas!

[@tiffanyholman4028]

So, mommy thinks he so far gone that she personally filed a letter with the DA begging not to let him represent himself? But she bailed him out AGAIN, and handed over her keys, AGAIN. Sorry mommy but you have plenty of responsibility in this attack too. Smh

You can tell the Judge was a kickass attorney with how rapidly & effectively she can rephrase questions to get him to answer without triggering his word games.

As soon as he started with the "I dont understand" the right to represent himself should have been denied

[@Beautiful_Mess]

No way. It’s his constitutional right. He signed the waiver of defense. He argued for representing himself. No tax payers money should’ve gone to his defense, paying for attorneys for this clown.

[@moggieleigh5919]

@annjoseph540 I agree. If she had said "If you don't understand the form to take over your representation, how do you expect to understand defending yourself in a trial?" If she threatened that, I think he would have started to understand right away.
