GUILTY WI - Darrell Brooks Rams Car Into Holiday Parade Crowd - 6 dead/61 Injured - Waukesha #2

[Weki]

Good morning trial watchers - I don’t know why I’m doing this to myself because DB pisses me off! He’s objecting to every other question now. He’s def more amped up today as this thread predicted last week.

I don’t think this female witness will rattle with his cross.

The jury is getting clear images of what he looked like then and how he has tried to clean up his appearance now…but all of these witnesses have clearly identified him.

Good Morning!

I have a question if you don't mind.Is there a reason why they just don't refer to him as the defendant instead of calling him by his name?Is it because he is representing himself as to why they don't?It would cut down on the objections of him repeatedly saying they he doesn't identify by his name.

So today's objections are "leading" instead of "hearsay".I just can't with this nutter.Once again he has no clue what a definition of a word is.

The only reason he is objecting to most of the questions is to tick everyone off.

And you have to wonder if he’s ticking the jury off…

 

[FrostedGlass]

I wonder why he had no shoes on?

 

[shotgun09]

He continues to S T A L L this proceeding. He is attempting to avoid the inevitable. The damning capture and arrest is coming...

Pertinent questions so far, by DB



Do you know what color the rubber band was?
Do you know what time you received the supeona?

 

[shotgun09]

" Grounzz for the substain?"?"

Like finger nails on a chalkboard

with each witness he goes down the "plantiff" line of questioning. I think the judge should warn DB that line of of questioning will necessitate her to stop the cross and cite the case law. She is using 906.11 more quickly today and I think wants this case to finish this week.

"of course you would" he should be held in contempt of court. I guess this judge is walking a fine line wanting to just get this over but she is taking way too much from this guy.

Yeah I saw that. He is sooo full of himself.

 

[turaj]

Based on the disrespect shown to the jury and judge each time they enter the courtroom and so many under the mask comments I have to think the jury is questioning his mental status.

 

[turaj]

Brooks changed his not guilty plea last June to not guilty by reason of mental disease and defect. But in September, he changed his not guilty by insanity plea to a not guilty plea.

Brooks has been evaluated by multiple mental health professionals, who deemed him competent to stand trial, saying his peculiar behaviors were not the result of any mental health issues. The court, in consultation with the psychologists, deemed him competent to stand trial and represent himself. The District Attorney said they are not concerned about his competency to stand trial and believes his behavior is a delay tactic.

thank you glad that has been fully covered.

Thanks, thought it may have been. Guess I should have googled it…

I wonder if some inmate at the jail that has been through the legal system once or twice has been giving Brooks any advice. If so, he should have advised him to be courteous to the court.

I have been thinking the same thing. He is being advised by a jailhouse lawyer to object to everything. He is being advised to try to throw the prosecution offtneir game by breaking their rhythm and to give himself grounds for future appeals. In truth it's not the worst plan. He has nothing to lose at this point.

So mommy called a Lyft for him….

 

[Trouble1321075]

Based on how DB is starting out this week...I think it likely he will end up in the adjacent courtroom with a mute button.

Only because we are so close to the end. I think short of a full blown outburst, she will tolerate his nonsense.

 

[Weki]

Why is his mother not in the courtroom? I feel like that would go a long way in keeping him under control. It’s odd to me that she wouldn’t want to be there. Hm.

 

[Trouble1321075]

I can't wait to hear his closing argument. It should be epic watching him reject the authority of the court and the jury.

Will she be called as a witness? Could be why she is not in the courtroom.
