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

"Do you have any recollection of that, sir?"
"Recollection of what?" duh.

Sigh..
The tiny violins are out...
" Nobody listens to me anyways"
Boo hoo

Back to bickering and scolding.

now reading the bible wonder if instead of presenting opening etc. he will just read from the bible?

Was he a sovereign citizen when he was on SSI?

Brooks wrote to the jurist that he had mental health issues for which he received S.S.I. benefits, presumably referring to Supplemental Security Income. He had received these benefits since he was a child and "was deemed disabled by the Federal Government," he wrote.

"The reason my benefits were stopped, was because I was getting incarcerated," he continued. "My benefits were scheduled to start back up in May of last year, at which time I would have been able to pay my support. This did not happen because I was incarcerated from Feb. – May 31st of last year."

Waukesha suspect Darrell Brooks told judge he couldn't pay child support because he ‘was getting incarcerated'

Waukesha Christmas parade suspect Darrell Brooks Jr. divulged details of his life, criticized the mother of one of his children and implied that he was unable to pay child support because he kept “getting incarcerated” in a letter sent to a Wisconsin judge in 2011 pertaining to one of the...

This is exactly why I don't like SSI determinations until age 22. Sure, give presumptive eligibility, and no one has any expectations or incentives to gain skills for work. Parents actually discourage skill improvements, as they don't want them to lose benefits.

Don't get me started.

Wow prosecutor and judge have both had ENOUGH! Judge is being more firm with him! It’s about dang time! This is the attitude she needed to take with him from Day 1!

Yes!

 

[BUF]

He deliberately does not just answer a question

 

[Gardenista]

She's trying to give him the opportunity to make a motion for a directed verdict. Went right over his head.

 

[turaj]

oh this is going to be REALLY REALLY bad.

 

[BUF]

oh this is going to be REALLY REALLY bad.

Yeah. Sounds like his case will be “his filings”… aka his usual diatribe with each witness and outbursts in court.

 

[OtisC]

He made the decision to defend himself and now is not willing to accept the consequences.

The pattern continues.

Just my thoughts.

I wonder if the state will add jury instructions to address his rantings.

I watched a lawtuber review Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337... basis for how the judge can deal with this type of defendant. It was helpful to me. 'Just offering the info if anyone else is curious. I even learned a new word, "contumacious" although it's a bit archaic. lol

Regarding DB's verbal gaffs/mispronunciations... I have no regrets when poking fun as he chose to represent himself.

Also, I took the time to review some of the photos and read a bit about some of the parade victims - which doesn't even include those without visible injuries. He made choices. He's lucky he will continue to live. The victims had no choice.

all jmo

he is very lucky no DP in WI as I honestly do not think he would have many if any mitigating factors. I am curious to see if his mother will show up at sentencing to ask for some consideration for her son for the claimed mental illness. I assume her life is pretty well done as how could a hospital employ her as a CNA or anything knowing the relationship. They are lucky he did not come to the hospital during that time he was out of prison. He has killer in his eyes...gun, knives or car...he would use anything. He will have no visitors.

 

[BeckyF]

I am amazed she continues to argue with him, but what are her choices? Wonder how another judge would deal with him.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I wonder if she can put him in the other room for the duration of the trial.

 

[BUF]

Ugh, the judge and prosecutors must be dreading going over jury instructions with him prior to closings.

 

[Trouble1321075]

I know this is gonna be a train wreck but I just can't not watch it

 

[shotgun09]

The Darrell Brooks defense is almost here. Expect one of these upon resumption of trial:

Illness
Injury
Outraged Outburst, removal from the courtroom

The creature that is also known as DB has no intention of following instructions and being told what to do. He will not comply. I will not be surprised if he ever gets to an opening statement today.
MOO

 

[Chelly]

I guess his constitutional rights come into play big time in this trial.
Can't help thinking of the dead and wounded though.

 

[Gardenista]

She said 1:25. Did he already have a melt down?
