List of defenses so far: -he honked his horn - there were barricades on all the side streets - there may have been someone else in the car (that Noone else could see) -given the amount of people there, he didn't hit that many -subject matter jurisdiction -the court doesn't exist -Darrel Brooks doesn't exist - the state of Wisconsin doesn't exist Am I missing anything?
No one saw him driving No one saw what he was wearing He's a Sovereign Citizen but still has Constitutional rights Everything is Hearsay (even though it's not)
He doesn't know how to file his motions or supeonas and wants the state to help him He has boxes of papers It's hard being a lawyer from a jail cell He apologizes to the bailiffs, judge, court but not to the victims so you can't say he's not remorseful
The disrespect towards a Dad who's 3 year old girl he plowed over with his car is astounding. He has absolutely no remorse and the jury is seeing it all which is good.
Sociopath. Trying to be smart, but he is what he is. He only cares about himself. How many other Victims of this individual that no ones knows about? It's a very, very sad Trial in the fact he can Re-examine
Why doesn't someone say Mr Brooks would it be fair to say that you argued with your ex partner and while you were angry hit your ex hit her friend then got into your vehicle and decided to take out your anger on innocent people who were happy so you were going to make everyone else feel loss is this fair to say?
For those of you upset with Darrel Brook’s being able to represent himself: take solace in the fact that with every second that passes he’s only cementing his guilt for the jury.
He's already cemented his guilt. This trial in particular is just a formality for the benefit of the defendant's rights. Nothing he does or says is gonna change the outcome.

As another mother, I am so proud of her, she rightfully showed her disdain for this utter waste of space. I bet she would put that MF in his place so quick. He didn’t even hurt my kid and I want to kill him. She must be furious.
The prosecution would have encouraged them to remain calm as possible just so there is no room for a mistrial. The main goal is to get this monster convicted and leave no wiggle room for an appeal to be successful. It's also why the judge is being so patient and lenient with him as well as the prosecution being so accommodating even going do far to help DB in some cases
Darrel Brooks: "Would it be fair to say that you are the State of Wisconsin?" The State of Wisconsin: " I don't identify by that name nor do I know anyone by that name."
@@alanhart1238 The term "sovereign citizen" refers to the individual (sovereign citizen) holding all of the rights that any sovereign state holds and NOT being a subject of any other sovereign state. A sovereign citizen is the sole citizen of their state....or so the argument goes. And no, it ain't gonna work for this animal.
2:02:37 oh my goodness! I 100000% savoured the moment when the Defendant objected and the Judge asks "Grounds?" and the attorneys and investigator smile. Only Attorney O did not break. These little moments ... they make this terrible ordeal bearable.
“I dont understand how you can make that judicial decision your honor” YEAH thats the thing. You don’t understand. At all. I so admire this judge and her composure while having to listen to this homicidal maniac and his ignorance of the law.
Except although he doesn’t understand a lot of the legal proceedings (like the meaning of the word hearsay) he does understand the charges against him & he does understand that his SovCitiot argument has no merit, but part of the SovCitiot BS is to deny any understanding of legal issues, because they think that if they admit to understanding it means they “stand under” the authority of the Court & the State & US Government.
Easily one of the most despicable men I've ever had the displeasure of watching. Zero shame, remorse, or accountability for his actions. He thinks he's the smartest person in the room and his contempt for women is palpable. He should have been thrown under the jail years ago. America needs to wake up to the link between DV and mass m*rders and treat habitual DV offenses far more harshly.
Then he has the nerve to say he needed a quick second after the gentlemen was testifying and emotional give me a dang break. What a piece of work. Sad for his child to have him as a spend donor.
@@batesvillbilly368 it is torture. Do you have children? How would you feel if the man who slaughtered or ran over one of them was questioning you about the event as if you were lying? How about a mother? Sister?
Lmfao. Hearing the judge say “grounds?” When he objected might be the best way the judge could be a professional smartass back. I like this judge even more now.
He objects and then says "grounds" before they say why. He cuts them off! No one should be able to disrespect a court and victims this way. "IT" loves the new words learned but doesn't know what they mean! He asks the same questions to each person! Why should he be allowed to bring up the plaintiff each time??? Frustrating!!!
And they probably sleep a lil better at night knowing this is one defendant they don’t need to represent. I believe everyone deserves the best defense possible, but this guy really challenges that belief for me. Really pushes me to my limit. In some ways, he WAS giving “the best” defense though…. Best for the prosecution, the state of Wisconsin, the victims and their families…
Even if he had kept them, there still would've been nothing they could do for him. It would have been great if they had stayed and seen all the evidence the prosecution had, and they abandon him when after watching everything. When faced with the obvious, common sense HAS to kick in.
@@nataWHAT I would bet that had he stayed with his attorneys, he would have been just as disruptive. He thinks that the world revolves around him. He's in for a very rude awakening when he gets to prison. .
@@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate The defence lawyers would have to keep fighting his case regardless of it being futile or obviously impossible to try and avoid life in prison. If they were to visibly give up, Crooks would get a fairly easy appeal on the basis of improper representation.
The ONLY time he hit the brakes was to get the woman's body off the hood of his Escape. He basically rammed her body, she flew up on the hood, he tapped the brakes to get her off and then ran over her body. This guy is the worst POS I've ever seen. 😡 I hope he has an "accident" while serving his 6 life sentences plus 869 years. 🙏
Watching this over again. I can only hope and pray that her passing was quick and that she didn’t spend her last minutes of life suffering. It sounds awful, but I really hope she didn’t have enough time to see what hit her. I hope she went fast and peacefully. 😢❤
He kills me with the theatrics of all the dramatic sighing and apologizing for taking a while before speaking - as if he actually has any empathy or sympathy for the people he killed and maimed. He doesn’t care one bit.
I think he does. I just think he cares about himself a little more given it’s a trial. I guarantee you his victims will haunt him while he rots in prison. Rightfully so.
@@joeyh9116 I would’ve thought that it was impossible for him not to have some kind of sympathy for his victims, despite how he strategically made sure to cry and say how “emotional” he was and take long, drawn out pauses when the jury was present. Then I saw his behavior at sentencing during the victims’ statements….the way he constantly rolled his eyes and motioned his hands for them to hurry up and stop talking. So, I’m convinced that most of his emotions were just for show and any genuine grief he showed was only at the thought of his own circumstances and his family’s.
I guess till now, I've never seen a %100 narcissist. Chilling how there is no empathy in his actions or eyes. Hope the inmates will give the families justice.
Sadly, he has a heartbroken mother who sounds like a good woman who is grieving with the devastation he has wrought. She believes he should be sent to a psychiatric unit rather than prison. She also says he never remembers when he does things, but it was very telling that she never allowed him to stay in her house.
@@AfterTheRains How sad that his mother believes this....but he seems very well. So he should go off to prison for all the harm he did cause. If his family felt he needed help, they should of got him it.
The hatred for this man is so overwhelming. Kudos to Heather for looking him straight in the eyes without a flinch and standing up to this monster. You all have done an incredible job, I don’t know if I could do it without reaching over his table. I hope you all find peace once this monster is in prison.
And I loved the mom that sat there and looked at him with disgust and kept a straight face without jumping over the bench and strangled him..he is sickening and it's overwhelming he thought he could get this threw out of court for the most ignorant crap
Fortunately, that’s the fatal flaw in every person that has Narcissistic Personality Disorder AND Antisocial Personality Disorder. They overestimate their ability to outmaneuver everyone & their lack of empathy is all that is seen.
I find it frightening that these folks are CONSISTENTLY released from jail. He was out on bail x2 for felonies (one of which was driving over his GF) in time to do THIS.
Yes, Michael. The court has to be very careful with pro se litigant like this fellow. She has be careful not to show her annoyance with him and not transmit that feeling to the jury, which could be prejudicial. She is bending over backward to be extra fair with him and she even throws him a bone now and again by sustaining the prosecutions’ objection. The prosecutors know exactly what the judge is doing and they don’t mind it one iota.
Ok wow, no one and I mean NO ONE is falling for his deep sighs and claims for needing some time to get out together because he's so emotional but 2 minutes before that he was hammering objections with not a care in the world, and then went on to question the witness with ZERO empathy. The only person he ever gets truly emotional over is HIMSELF.
All Brooks is doing is proving that he is not legally insane or cognitively impaired... and at the same time completely without remorse or willingness to accept responsibility for his actions.
Lol he is being a lawyer ( not brooks) so funny how he phrases him self in third person… it’s gunna be a mistrial …, “plaintiff” (state) will call mis trail after brooks puts on a show for them to televise
You don't hear much about Jane, it's typically "dancing grannies" and reference to Jackson the child that died. The testimony of her death was absolutely brutal and truly heartbreaking. If her family reads this, I'm so sorry for your loss.
Oh, the description was absolutely heart breaking. The poor woman! And of course I feel for Adam because he saw it and can clearly remember it so vividly.
The other fatale victims was recorded from cell phones/security cameras ect - so it's eye witness who have to testify. In the opening argument and in the closing arguments the DA mentioned all the fatale victims - nobody left out. The death of Jane Kulich was horrific - and seeing DB questions the vitnesses was pure lunitic and showed what a heartless "person" he is. He will never change
Yeah…you could tell Mr Bonesteel could have jumped out of that chair and throttled DB!! My imagination runs away with me as I picture that in my mind!! 😅
Heather you are one strong mama bear. 🐻 We all felt what your feeling on that stand. I hope all your babies and you heal from this trauma as i pray all the victims do. Sending love from london uk 🙏❤️🇬🇧
I loved Adam Bonesteele’s testimony. He emphasized how his mind wasn’t focused on all the little details DB insists on picking at because of how traumatic of an event it was, and he made sure to remind the jury that he literally witnessed a body on the hood of the SUV (something DB tried to sweep under the rug and avoid asking about before quickly wrapping up his cross, probably because he realized how damaging this guy was to his defense).
I thought Mr. Bonesteele was one of the State’s strongest witnesses. Came across as very credible and provided details that were further damaging to the defense- if that was even possible. His account of what he saw happening in the street are horrifying.
@Jimmy Johnson I imagine there would have been a fight to see who was at the front of that line. Its probably very good he couldn't see this little slug's interrogation of his wife. I assume he couldn't see it.
@@sherryjenkins5129the vitnesses are in a separate room without cell phones/laptops or other electronic devices that could connect to the internet. After given their testemony they are excorted out and are not allowed in the room where "next in line vitnesses" are sitting. Vitnesses are NOT prohibit to watch news during the trail or before - if - it does not disqualify you as a vitness - jury only have to look at the fact - and evidence presented to them
I hope law students are watching this case. This is a master class in witness memory and testimony. These witnesses have done a phenomenal job of honest recollection of a very painful and scary time.
Sadly that’s also the only area that Darrell is actually making headway- in highlighting errors in recall & inconsistencies between witness testimonies & their statements at the time of the event. I’m surprised the prosecution didn’t give each witness a copy of their statements to review prior to their testimony.
@@allisonjames2923 he's pointing out inconsistencies in the summaries of their statements. I dont recall him ever directly reading from an actual statement itself... Im probably wrong though 🤣
He is making 0 case for himself. He never has things ready, just reads statements and goes from there. You would think he has enough free time. But instead he continues to waste everyone's time by not being prepared. He sucks. Case closed.
It's truly sickening with Brooks behavior. It's all about him. Even when he "takes a second" after the video of Jane. He was acting like he's upset about the victim, when he's NOT.
@@waitwhat7724 That’s exactly what he was doing…you’re correct!! It really irritates me when he puts his head in his hands, takes a deep breath and then expires with a dramatic sigh and a “whoooooooh!!!!” It’s so fake, and it makes me want to smack the ugly off his face!! 😮
@waitwhat7724 people with narcissistic personality disorder do feel emotion, only some feel empathy. It's psychopaths who don't feel emotions and mimic them. We are diminishing narcissistic personality disorder as a society by people calling all people who do evil narcissists. He is most likely a psychopath, possibly a sociopath if he is able to feel empathy/remorse with those he are closest it.
Hes asked a mother he hit all kinds of questions about the aftermath. Can you imagine crawling on the pavement trying to find your child? Then he asks her questions what happened next, which I would be so traumatized I would only remember how worried about how scared I was for my child's life.
Adam Bonesteel was an excellent witness. He was comfortable and personable. He didn’t just answer questions, he told the story in a way that made sense and gave you a feel of what he experienced that night. He “painted the picture” in a way you could feel what happened.
Yes . And the disrespectful way that "whatever he wants to be at the time" the "MALE" that questioned him was disgusting the man thought it was his wife he seen get run over and the disgusting thing questioning him about the sky and the color and clearness of it was horrid..and then to ask "so it would be fair to say you was paying more attention to the sky.than to the diver" he is pure evil disgusting evil demon..
Stefanie Bonesteel was so strong...not looking at the killer, and you know he hated that. And the killer asking her all those ridiculous sovcit crap questions, while she has to re-live a terrible time in her life.
They all have been amazing with their self-control....I'd have gone BSC and be the next one at the defense table I'm sure ... this "right to represent yourself " is hurtful in so many ways
@@valerierodger7700 this! And Victim Advocates are very hands on in the process of helping prepare victims for trial and keeping them calm before, during, and after testimony.
To the husband driving the truck, of the women walking with the bank.... I know it was hard to not freak out on him but you did it! You held your composer even when he acted like a complete, I can't even say it... Thank you for your testimony. I'm so happy your family was not physically injured. You did good, sir ❤️
It was sickening, like all his moments of pretend tears. If only he managed to actually squeeze out some actual tears to make it look remotely realistic. I watched his bail hearing from 10 months ago & he was supposedly sobbing for most of it - more than 10 mins - yet he didn’t have to blow his nose once, his eyelashes were dry & his eyes weren’t red. Neither does he after any of his “moments” in this trial.
And he only ever does that in the presence of the jury. Never when it’s just the judge and the parties. A ridiculous theatrical attempt that I have to assume the jury saw through, given the sentence.
it's bad enough that the law allows this punk to question his victims but for the judge to watch him antagonize and degrade them on the stand is the most outrageous part of it !!
Darrell questioning the victims is really going to work against him with regards to the jury. I know he doesn't understand that but the jury is going to be effected by every tear.
That’s exactly what I’ve been saying since he’s started cross examining witnesses. He’s acting as if the jury are not the ones that determine if he’s guilty or not. I think he thinks he’s gonna win in a “gotcha!” moment like laws don’t apply to him. He’s already have gotten so much leeway. Like the people you’re asking disgusting questions to are apart of the same community as the jury lol
@@a_sorry_Asari he just wants a rise out of people. This guy knows he ran a car through a crowd of people for the purpose of killing them. He knows we all know that he ran a car through a crowd of people to kill them. Just using the legal system to satisfy his sick satisfactions now.
@@a_sorry_Asari I'm sure the jailhouse lawyers have him convinced that the longer he can drag this out the better his chance that the judge or prosecutor will screw up and give him something to appeal.
He hates the fact that the community is united and has good humans. He objected like the "hater" he is when the attorney said the witness was a good husband.
Mr. Bone steel looks like it is taking EVERYTHING in him to not jump over the stand and just strangle every bit of life out of Mr. Brooks! I can feel the tension through the screen!
It took everything in my power not to fling my phone across the room when he "needed a moment" before patronizing the witness 😠 The complete lack of empathy in this one makes me sick to my stomach.
I thought the same thing especially when he opened the water and looked at that sewer rat who caused so much damage mentally and physically. God bless all, thank you Mr and Mrs. Bonesteel for testifying with all your heart.
Funny .... I wonder why he didn't ask Me Bonesteel if he had seen or spoken to the plaintive 😃 He even started his cross as though he was affected by Mr Bonesteel testimony ... 1:09:30 Poor acting .... Not one person believed he was affected or the he needed to ' pull it together '. I'm sure the jury realised this too. He was fooling no one.
Shout out to the victim advocates on this case! They’ve done an excellent job of helping prepare the victims of this for a horrifying cross examination.
Unfortunately I believe it was only Kathrine Yourell who was contacted by the DA/victims advocates before her testemony in the court - so she knew what was coming - it was DBs mean objection that hit her so hard
@@penelopejane5285doesn't mean they didn't speak to victims advocate just because it wasn't in their testimony!..I'm pretty certain that Jeff Rogers had spoken to victims advocate ..unless they were directly asked that question you are only guessing that they didn't speak to them!
That woman witness though! LOVE HER!!! Many witnesses can't bear to look at him. She was strong and determined to stare right at him and not take any crap. Yea, she is great.
Thank you to that officer for being vigilant. What an awful thing to have happen. If he wasn’t stopped no one knows what would’ve happened next! Great job!
58:50 I love how much it irks him when DA Opper says to Adam Bonesteel “You’ve driven in parades before because you’re a good husband”. Brooks will never know what it feels like to have someone say he’s a good husband, father or even person that’s why he objects. In reality he’s what’s objectionable!
I’m in the replay crew and thinking about jumping ahead to see the verdict. Then come back and pick up from where I left off. These testimonies are heavy and he is repulsive.
@@ladyaquarius5350 It was so wonderful watching his shock and then how he actually physically shrank and deflated. He has to be the most annoying person in the world.
@@happytownesvanzandt I literally wish I was one of the witnesses on the stand. Mr "I don't know anyone by that name" would have tried to strangle me🤣 I would have made him want to hurt me "for the record ".
@@anitrachere7024 It is a strong measure of his stupidity to have acted like this. The jury despised him you can be sure. Think how many times they had to go back and forth from the courtroom because of his awful behavior. They had plenty of time to find him VERY repulsive indeed. He was so disrespectful. It was AWFUL when he tried to say HE didn't kill Jackson Sparks, the 8-year-old, because Jackson was on life support for 2 days while they found recipients for his donated organs. Had me furious. Monster.
The way he attacks these poor parents after he ran over their children is abhorrent. I’m so happy to know he’s serving multiple life sentences and will never be free. I hope he lives each day with the same kind of abject fear that he instilled in all of these people.
He says, "Grounds!" while the opposing counsel is stating their grounds for objecting. He even says it after they've stated their grounds. "Ob.....GROUNDS! ... jec....GROUNDS! tion.....GROUNDS!"The Judge needs to shut that down!
I thought the same thing, I so wanted the other witnesses in the past days to say it. I’m sure they got together outside the court today to make a note on saying it. And so they should, I can’t imagine the stress and torment this maggot has endured on these loving parents.
That a tornado alarm went off in the middle of Brooks' latest BS tirade makes you want to look out the window and see if the Four Horsemen have arrived yet.
I have wondered about that, however his argument that he is not Darrell Brooks has no legal merit just because he doesn’t want to answer to that name, so they don’t need to.
The strength of those witnesses to put up with Brooks is amazing. There is no chance I would be able to do it. That "man" needs to just be put down and forgotten about.
Every parent knows that when your child is injured, you tend to down play injuries so you don't scare your child. DB giving that dad shade shows he has never really raised a child. My son had a badly cut leg and I down played it until we got to the hospital. Was calm and cool until we got home and he was in bed. Then I fell apart.
Brooks has to know that objecting to every single piece of evidence isn't a good look. Literally every single piece of evidence. This case is definitely going to be used in studying in the next years.
While six people (and their families) certainly got the worst of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of the attendants (including the uninjured) will be affected by serious psychological trauma for the rest of their lives. One fragile little man can inflict an unbelievable amount of damage. This trail is amazing. The witnesses, judge, and attorneys are doing great work.
Ive said it before and ill say it again, i am just stunned at his stupidity, and the judge’s patience. He’s trying to act like nothing exists and this isn’t even real! PEOPLE DIED! It’s absolutely absurd. He doesnt understand the law at any capacity. How did he figure this was his best bet? Good though, he will for sure be in prison for life.
Actually, he is quite intelligent! He is purposely acting in this manner and saying the things that he is saying, especially when he responds incorrectly, so he has grounds for a mistrial or appeal. He knows exactly what he is doing. We can only hope that it doesn’t work.
Honestly...I cannot FATHOM enduring what these loved ones have 😭Just imagine, an absolute freak smashes into your precious baby or grandma, and not only are you dealing with unimaginable grief...but having to walk through this NIGHTMARE of a trial day after day watching this CLOWN make a MOCKERY of not only our justice system, but more importantly, their deaths! 🥺...my heart just can't even picture what this must be like. May God grant them strength beyond all measure, peace that makes no earthly sense, and may they know they are making their loved ones proud right now.💔❤🩹
The prosecution give the grounds on their objections - he keeps barking grounds, grounds - when the judge sustains the objections he asks for grounds for "substain" even though it was already given!!! He is soooo over his head in this trial
"Can you circle on the photo where you were standing?" "Objection" "Grounds?" "Hearsay" "Objection" "Grounds?" "The defendant has no clue what hearsay means."
Everyone in the courtroom must be so tempted to explain the meaning to him, but no one will do it as he might become more effective with his objections if he knew the right ones to use. He must go back to his cell so confused as to why almost all of his objections get overruled.
@@sydnicole3619 He’s just sick!! He is getting off on all of this, at the witnesses/victim’s expense. He’s playing games…he can’t even see that he’s losing!! 😢
He actually does know. He uses that to disrupt. The worse the witness is for him, the more he does it. He will keep adding other objections too simply to break people's concentration.
I think that the male prosecutor, (I think that his name is Zach), sits with his back towards Mr Brooks because it lowers his temptation to punch Mr Brooks in the face.
Of course he has seen all three complaints. They were put right in front of his beady little eyes by attorney Perry during the pre-trial hearing when the attorneys requested to withdrawal from their psycho client.
Another infuriating thing: When the Prosecution finishes with a witness and he pretends to "need a moment" before he begins his Cross. His acting is SOOOO horrifically bad, I have secondhand embarrassment from it. He is the worst actor, second only to Mark Sievers. He does the same exact thing each time. Same deep breath, then hand to his forehead, eyes closed, a couple more dramatic sighs, then big display of telling everyone he needed a moment due to his emotions, another couple deep breaths, then he begins his questioning cold as ice. It's so offensive and disgusting. Such disrespect to the victim waiting for his questioning who has ACTUALLY experienced trauma from their experience. This whole thing is absolutely unbelievable.
List of defenses so far:

Shaved his head so it must not be him
He is not dark skinned by his definition
He hit the brakes 1 time
No one saw him driving

He's a Sovereign Citizen but still has Constitutional rights
Everything is Hearsay (even though it's not)
He doesn't know how to file his motions or supeonas and wants the state to help him
He has boxes of papers
It's hard being a lawyer from a jail cell
He apologizes to the bailiffs, judge, court but not to the victims so you can't say he's not remorseful
25/30 isn't that fast in a crowd of people with children and dancing grandmas
Today Mr.Brooks objected 52 times, said “grounds” 80 times, and asked if something was “fair to say” 57 times
Seen you on a few comments sections, thank you for the count 👍
And it was only a half day lol
He is a small pathetic man. He is a clown trying to defend himself 😂😂😂😂😂ugh🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮😡😡😡😡
The disrespect towards a Dad who's 3 year old girl he plowed over with his car is astounding. He has absolutely no remorse and the jury is seeing it all which is good.
Sociopath. Trying to be smart, but he is what he is. He only cares about himself. How many other Victims of this individual that no ones knows about? It's a very, very sad Trial in the fact he can Re-examine
"He has absolutely no remorse", of course not. He's enjoying the attention. Just sad that death wouldn't be an option, because he deserves it
I find myself HOLLERING at youtube screen! The FAKE tears, prayers... sickening. HE IS A SOCIOPATH OR PSYCHOPATH.
Why doesn't someone say Mr Brooks would it be fair to say that you argued with your ex partner and while you were angry hit your ex hit her friend then got into your vehicle and decided to take out your anger on innocent people who were happy so you were going to make everyone else feel loss is this fair to say?
He very well knows What he's done and underneath that knowledge he doesn't care
The way he says “grounds” after every objection and ruling before the party finishes their words is my newest pet peeve I didn’t know I had.
Preach!!!
OMG nightmares over his "GROUNDS"
Hahaha me too
Yep!
Right isn’t even listening to the prosecution giving the grounds with their objections before he shouts out grounds
For those of you upset with Darrel Brook’s being able to represent himself: take solace in the fact that with every second that passes he’s only cementing his guilt for the jury.
Not only that but he’s ensuring that the judge will give him the maximum sentences possible!
Yep!! It’s a win-win in that light!
Yes! Truth!
He's already cemented his guilt. This trial in particular is just a formality for the benefit of the defendant's rights. Nothing he does or says is gonna change the outcome.
What he is actually doing by his obvious incompetence, is guaranteeing a retrial.

The witnesses are not allowed to come across as 'hostile'. This could be a cause for mistrial.
The prosecution would have encouraged them to remain calm as possible just so there is no room for a mistrial. The main goal is to get this monster convicted and leave no wiggle room for an appeal to be successful. It's also why the judge is being so patient and lenient with him as well as the prosecution being so accommodating even going do far to help DB in some cases

Out of all of his rights, the fact that he didn’t take his right to remain silent seriously is mind boggling.

And out of all of that he keeps harping on about jurisdiction rather than concentrating on his defence, and his repetitive rubbish questions,
I loathe how he tells the victims that they have a financial interest in this matter. So gross.
His little antics trying to gain sympathy is so infuriating especially since he has taken absolutely zero responsibility.
2:02:37 oh my goodness! I 100000% savoured the moment when the Defendant objected and the Judge asks "Grounds?" and the attorneys and investigator smile. Only Attorney O did not break. These little moments ... they make this terrible ordeal bearable.

“I dont understand how you can make that judicial decision your honor” YEAH thats the thing. You don’t understand. At all. I so admire this judge and her composure while having to listen to this homicidal maniac and his ignorance of the law.
Except although he doesn’t understand a lot of the legal proceedings (like the meaning of the word hearsay) he does understand the charges against him & he does understand that his SovCitiot argument has no merit, but part of the SovCitiot BS is to deny any understanding of legal issues, because they think that if they admit to understanding it means they “stand under” the authority of the Court & the State & US Government.

grounds!
Soooo... it would be fair to say?
Lmfao. Hearing the judge say “grounds?” When he objected might be the best way the judge could be a professional smartass back. I like this judge even more now.
He objects and then says "grounds" before they say why. He cuts them off! No one should be able to disrespect a court and victims this way. "IT" loves the new words learned but doesn't know what they mean! He asks the same questions to each person! Why should he be allowed to bring up the plaintiff each time??? Frustrating!!!
His old defense attorneys dodged a bullet by getting out of this.
And they probably sleep a lil better at night knowing this is one defendant they don’t need to represent. I believe everyone deserves the best defense possible, but this guy really challenges that belief for me. Really pushes me to my limit.
In some ways, he WAS giving “the best” defense though…. Best for the prosecution, the state of Wisconsin, the victims and their families…
Even if he had kept them, there still would've been nothing they could do for him. It would have been great if they had stayed and seen all the evidence the prosecution had, and they abandon him when after watching everything. When faced with the obvious, common sense HAS to kick in.
@@nataWHAT I would bet that had he stayed with his attorneys, he would have been just as disruptive. He thinks that the world revolves around him. He's in for a very rude awakening when he gets to prison. .

Him pretending to have human emotions and dramatically “needing a second” would honestly be embarrassing if it wasn’t so evil
The ONLY time he hit the brakes was to get the woman's body off the hood of his Escape. He basically rammed her body, she flew up on the hood, he tapped the brakes to get her off and then ran over her body.

He kills me with the theatrics of all the dramatic sighing and apologizing for taking a while before speaking - as if he actually has any empathy or sympathy for the people he killed and maimed. He doesn’t care one bit.
I think he does. I just think he cares about himself a little more given it’s a trial. I guarantee you his victims will haunt him while he rots in prison. Rightfully so.
@@joeyh9116 I would’ve thought that it was impossible for him not to have some kind of sympathy for his victims, despite how he strategically made sure to cry and say how “emotional” he was and take long, drawn out pauses when the jury was present. Then I saw his behavior at sentencing during the victims’ statements….the way he constantly rolled his eyes and motioned his hands for them to hurry up and stop talking. So, I’m convinced that most of his emotions were just for show and any genuine grief he showed was only at the thought of his own circumstances and his family’s.

Agree!
Don’t get your hopes up, most inmates are pieces of sh** just like him if not worse.
Sadly, he has a heartbroken mother who sounds like a good woman who is grieving with the devastation he has wrought. She believes he should be sent to a psychiatric unit rather than prison. She also says he never remembers when he does things, but it was very telling that she never allowed him to stay in her house.
@@AfterTheRains he probably lies to her and says he doesn’t remember. She probably loves him too much to even start to question that.

The hatred for this man is so overwhelming. Kudos to Heather for looking him straight in the eyes without a flinch and standing up to this monster. You all have done an incredible job, I don’t know if I could do it without reaching over his table. I hope you all find peace once this monster is in prison.
I came here to say that as well. She kept her eyes on him and her expression of pure disgust was clear.
And I loved the mom that sat there and looked at him with disgust and kept a straight face without jumping over the bench and strangled him..he is sickening and it's overwhelming he thought he could get this threw out of court for the most ignorant crap
You don’t want to do anything that could potentially help him, though.
And when she said she made no claim that threw him, did not like that
Monster is way too much credit for him. Hes a maggot.
Very smart of the court for allowing him to continually behave as he has and to NOT show they're annoyed. The jury needs to see this! Bravo 👏
Yes. Brooks is profiling himself.
Fortunately, that’s the fatal flaw in every person that has Narcissistic Personality Disorder AND Antisocial Personality Disorder. They overestimate their ability to outmaneuver everyone & their lack of empathy is all that is seen.

Yes, Michael. The court has to be very careful with pro se litigant like this fellow. She has be careful not to show her annoyance with him and not transmit that feeling to the jury, which could be prejudicial. She is bending over backward to be extra fair with him and she even throws him a bone now and again by sustaining the prosecutions’ objection. The prosecutors know exactly what the judge is doing and they don’t mind it one iota.
Ok wow, no one and I mean NO ONE is falling for his deep sighs and claims for needing some time to get out together because he's so emotional but 2 minutes before that he was hammering objections with not a care in the world, and then went on to question the witness with ZERO empathy. The only person he ever gets truly emotional over is HIMSELF.
The one cent(one penny) that d.b. paid for his acting lessons, he was charged too much😁.
All Brooks is doing is proving that he is not legally insane or cognitively impaired... and at the same time completely without remorse or willingness to accept responsibility for his actions.

He emphasized how his mind wasn’t focused on all the little details DB insists on picking at because of how traumatic of an event it was, and he made sure to remind the jury that he literally witnessed a body on the hood of the SUV (something DB tried to sweep under the rug and avoid asking about before quickly wrapping up his cross, probably because he realized how damaging this guy was to his defense).
Do you think that he wanted a little time with Brooks?
I thought Mr. Bonesteele was one of the State’s strongest witnesses. Came across as very credible and provided details that were further damaging to the defense- if that was even possible.
His account of what he saw happening in the street are horrifying.

Sadly that’s also the only area that Darrell is actually making headway- in highlighting errors in recall & inconsistencies between witness testimonies & their statements at the time of the event. I’m surprised the prosecution didn’t give each witness a copy of their statements to review prior to their testimony.

It's truly sickening with Brooks behavior. It's all about him. Even when he "takes a second" after the video of Jane. He was acting like he's upset about the victim, when he's NOT.

It was sickening, like all his moments of pretend tears. If only he managed to actually squeeze out some actual tears to make it look remotely realistic. I watched his bail hearing from 10 months ago & he was supposedly sobbing for most of it - more than 10 mins - yet he didn’t have to blow his nose once, his eyelashes were dry & his eyes weren’t red. Neither does he after any of his “moments” in this trial.
And he only ever does that in the presence of the jury. Never when it’s just the judge and the parties. A ridiculous theatrical attempt that I have to assume the jury saw through, given the sentence.

I have wondered about that, however his argument that he is not Darrell Brooks has no legal merit just because he doesn’t want to answer to that name, so they don’t need to.
Also, they showed his ID
He also has the right to remain silent, but he clearly lacks the ability.
I wish one of the juror’s would say ‘Mr. Brooks, I am your accuser’ and my eye witness testimony is not hearsay.
“Grounds” is what the judge says when they want to know the grounds. NOT YOU. And yelling it over the answer, doesn’t negate it.

Every parent knows that when your child is injured, you tend to down play injuries so you don't scare your child. DB giving that dad shade shows he has never really raised a child. My son had a badly cut leg and I down played it until we got to the hospital. Was calm and cool until we got home and he was in bed. Then I fell apart.
Kids don’t need to hear how upset you are that they’re hurt. They will pick that up and get upset. Downplaying is the right thing to do.
Every time he says “substain” I lose 1 brain cell
Grounds! 😆
Brooks has to know that objecting to every single piece of evidence isn't a good look. Literally every single piece of evidence. This case is definitely going to be used in studying in the next years.
While six people (and their families) certainly got the worst of it, I wouldn’t be surprised if a majority of the attendants (including the uninjured) will be affected by serious psychological trauma for the rest of their lives. One fragile little man can inflict an unbelievable amount of damage.

The judge is doing an amazing job in all areas.
Witness testimony today was so disturbing and sad. That poor woman jane frm the bank😪🙏for her family
Ive said it before and ill say it again, i am just stunned at his stupidity, and the judge’s patience. He’s trying to act like nothing exists and this isn’t even real! PEOPLE DIED! It’s absolutely absurd. He doesnt understand the law at any capacity. How did he figure this was his best bet? Good though, he will for sure be in prison for life.
Actually, he is quite intelligent! He is purposely acting in this manner and saying the things that he is saying, especially when he responds incorrectly, so he has grounds for a mistrial or appeal. He knows exactly what he is doing. We can only hope that it doesn’t work.
@@kyliemarie6386 that doesn’t make someone intelligent. He clearly has a low IQ.
I thought exactly like Kylie Marie. there is a method for his madness
@@kyliemarie6386 I agree with you. He knows EXACTLY what he is doing/saying!!
That Father is a saint for keeping so calm
Honestly...I cannot FATHOM enduring what these loved ones have 😭Just imagine, an absolute freak smashes into your precious baby or grandma, and not only are you dealing with unimaginable grief...but having to walk through this NIGHTMARE of a trial day after day watching this CLOWN make a MOCKERY of not only our justice system, but more importantly, their deaths! 🥺...my heart just can't even picture what this must be like. May God grant them strength beyond all measure, peace that makes no earthly sense, and may they know they are making their loved ones proud right now.💔❤🩹
Agreeing with you in that prayer🙏🏻
He “may need to check with relatives of his own?”…..he doesn’t give a flying flip about his family members.
As if he could or would do something about it. He can't brain.
The prosecution give the grounds on their objections - he keeps barking grounds, grounds - when the judge sustains the objections he asks for grounds for "substain" even though it was already given!!! He is soooo over his head in this trial
"Can you circle on the photo where you were standing?"
"Objection"
"Grounds?"
"Hearsay"
"Objection"
"Grounds?"
"The defendant has no clue what hearsay means."
Everyone in the courtroom must be so tempted to explain the meaning to him, but no one will do it as he might become more effective with his objections if he knew the right ones to use. He must go back to his cell so confused as to why almost all of his objections get overruled.
He is playing games that’s all
Nor is he interested in reading the book explaining what hearsay actually is.
@@sydnicole3619 He’s just sick!! He is getting off on all of this, at the witnesses/victim’s expense. He’s playing games…he can’t even see that he’s losing!! 😢
He actually does know. He uses that to disrupt. The worse the witness is for him, the more he does it. He will keep adding other objections too simply to break people's concentration.
I think that the male prosecutor, (I think that his name is Zach), sits with his back towards Mr Brooks because it lowers his temptation to punch Mr Brooks in the face.
Of course he has seen all three complaints. They were put right in front of his beady little eyes by attorney Perry during the pre-trial hearing when the attorneys requested to withdrawal from their psycho client.
Another infuriating thing: When the Prosecution finishes with a witness and he pretends to "need a moment" before he begins his Cross. His acting is SOOOO horrifically bad, I have secondhand embarrassment from it. He is the worst actor, second only to Mark Sievers. He does the same exact thing each time. Same deep breath, then hand to his forehead, eyes closed, a couple more dramatic sighs, then big display of telling everyone he needed a moment due to his emotions, another couple deep breaths, then he begins his questioning cold as ice. It's so offensive and disgusting. Such disrespect to the victim waiting for his questioning who has ACTUALLY experienced trauma from their experience. This whole thing is absolutely unbelievable.
He’s being GRANDIOSE and getting a kick out of it!
It’s sickening.
