GUILTY WI - Darrell Brooks Rams Car Into Holiday Parade Crowd - 6 dead/61 Injured - Waukesha #3

[Trouble1321075]

And the circus continues...

If I was on the jury I would start becoming angry at the judge at this point. Enough is enough already. He has drug out a 5 day trial into 3 weeks. The jury isn't getting oaid to be there. The jurors are being abused.

There is no such thing as Standby counsel in this jurisdiction. It’s an administrative law. She explained that to him during the 2 hearings when he asked to represent himself. So there will be no standby counsel appointed.

Thank you I got that idea from Court TV and it sounded reasonable.Sad they are so ill informed.

 

[turaj]

I am thinking I am crazy to watch this.

I know I’m one of the outliers in my opinion of this judge but I really don’t see the need to repeat herself about this stuff. She’s already put all of this stuff on the record. She should just move forward like how she started today. The record is clear! She gets assertive then doubts herself and takes several steps back imo. Move the case forward! End this! There is no way this case gets appealed in my lay opinion, which is prob not worth much.

Amen to that. I've never seen anything like it.

During pretrial hearings, the judge set aside a month for the trial and I'm sure that was relayed to jurors during jury selection.

I guess he thought everyone would move out of HIS way... because we've all realized what he cares about the most... himself.

Thank you for clarifying that.

Yes. Truthfully though she has let it go too far with the distractions and disrespect. I’m not sure if the defendant can use his own disruptive behavior as an appeal reason. But if some one else was behaving like the defendant it certainly could be an appeal issue. My opinion only.

Illinois v Allen, which the judge cites to, allows her three options to deal with him. Ball gag, contempt or removal from courtroom. She’s chosen the last and least severe of the three.

Note the holding actually removes the right of confrontation of 6th & 14th amendments.

Judge is stopping his questioning of E.

He’s blowing his lid now and she is removing him again.

Glad to see her not letting this nonsense go on any longer.

 

[turaj]

he is right why did she even bring him back?

 

[mothwings]

this was all covered in state's case.

They wen't over their theory. But his true motives and underlying reasons, IMO, we will never fully come to understand. He had so many chances to stop the car and not destroy lives.

I vote for ball gag. Let him write all his questions and objections out

 

[turaj]

all of this so clearly points out to what happened that day...he cannot control his anger and right now if behind the wheel he would go after every one in the courtroom. He is a real madman.

 

[turaj]

This sovereign citizen is going down fast!!!

 

[turaj]

he will sit over there and read his bible.

I don't think he had an exact motive...she told him off and you can see how he gets. He is just a madman

He is going to have a lot of time for reading the Bible.

 

[BUF]

Just mute the vial mouth!

 

[Weki]

Jury is coming out Mr. Brooks I’m muting you!

Hahaha! Wonderful!

Edited to add: Jury has to be SICK AND TIRED by this point. She excused them again after 2 minutes of bringing them in.

 

[turaj]

HELP why is she doing this?
