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

[turaj]

he can't stop himself...he will start the minute he gets over there.

 

[Thundar]

Oh my, the judge is going to need a chiropractor if she bends over backwards any further……she needs to have him do the pledge…….mute him please. My opinion only.

 

[turaj]

judge he is telling you what he WILL DO. Listen to him.

 

[turaj]

I think he will not go back now.

 

[OtisC]

Why does she think he will behave after the numerous times he has not.

He continues his attempts to manipulate.

What he truly doesn't understand is respect for authority.

Just my thoughts.

[Chelly]

I am concerned about a stalemate between judge and Brooks. Anyone else?

 

[BadRx]

At this rate nothing else will happen with the jury present until after the lunch break.

 

[turaj]

i am simply at a loss as to why when it is going well she is now doing this....if he comes back she will then just break for lunch. What is she thinking now??????? They are SO CLOSE.

Her thinking may be despite all the arguing and disruption, the case has slowly proceeded thus far, so she will continue to use the same tactics to get through closing.

 

[Thundar]

So is the judge letting the defendant come back into the courtroom now so he can act out and be removed so that this afternoon he will need to give his close from the other courtroom…..a little proactive strike maybe? My opinion only.

As much as I cringe at this game, I get it. Judge is giving him EVERY opportunity to be present. She has to, to preserve this trial.

Maybe she sees this as one baby step forward? Getting him back into courtroom is always a plus in her eyes? I really haven't a clue. Can't apply logic to an illogical situation.

Yes, agree. She can't let trial to come to a halt, especially now.

Agree.

I feel so bad for this jury.

i don't think so...she will have to give him the usual right to come back and at least start his closing.

maybe you are right but I think she has an obligation to the state and jury to get the instructions read which will be impossible with him in courtroom. I personally think he will choose to just stay over there and not come in.

IMO Judge Darow’s hands are really tied by the language of the holding in Illinois v. Allen. That court held a defendant can “reclaim the right to be present as soon as he is willing to comport himself with decorum and respect.” See: Illinois v. Allen, 397 U.S. 337 (1970)

She is simply being cautious in following that precedent.

 

[tlcya]

can't believe w have made it all the way to instruction re count 65! whew, almost there

 

[Heaven Leigh]

There is no way they will get through closings unless he is muted in the other courtroom.

 

[tlcya]

poor judge Dorow may just lose her voice after all this reading. that dry cough is getting worse.
