Oh my goodness, Darrell Brooks was not "embarrassed" by the video!!! He loved it. He even said while they were playing it, "I wish I could hear it now!" He was PROUD of his video, not embarrassed. He was upset because they proved it was him in the stillshot. He didn't think they could prove it -- but they did.
Exactly
I just can't stop thinking about little Jackson Sparks hearing this man blubber. Cut down in the street before he had a chance to put any miles on his soul. I reject these tears.
Yup, I didn't buy one second of that performance he put on.
@@windywednesday4166 Yes, and he Still doesn't own what he is even in his fake cry, a defendant. He calls himself an "alleged defendant". And moments after he was "so tore up" he goes right back to being a vindictive a$$.
Also, the many children that were physically injured! The injuries were very extensive and lifelong!!! Even one of the injured is enough, but there were soooo many!!!! These poor kids will have physical damage and fragile outcomes for life especially as they age in many cases with no monetary compensation for their lifetime physical difficulties.
I feel Darell is absolutely loving this! He is out of jail, in normal clothes, having breakfast, lunch and dinner in the court, reading books and being very important! It’s driving me crazy how he thinks HE is running the whole “ show”! Unbelievable! I completely understand that the court is trying VERY hard to give him a fair trial……. But wow, he pushes it beyond my patience 😮
Did you notice he now has niceish suits? His mother probably.
Agree I feel like he’s enjoying a false sense of respect, like he feels like he’s a real lawyer actually cross examining people successfully
He LOVES the press, attention, publicity..
I wonder if he's eating the same food as the jury 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Same Cathy, but just know pretty soon he will sail off into oblivion and spend the rest of his miserable life behind bars away from the general public.
I loved how Darrell just couldn't resist the bait of trying to somehow cause doubt that it was him in the still shot of the music video. He opened the door for the video to be played. LOL. And I don't agree that Attorney Opper thought Judge Dorow wasn't doing well. Attorney Opper said she appreciated Judge Dorow for what she was doing and admitted she (and they) knew why she had chosen to go the route she had with his case. I could be wrong, but it seems to me like Judge Dorow did everything in her power to make sure there wasn't a mistrial and next to none chance of a successful appeal.
I think Judge Dorow was brilliant. She managed to stroke his ego enough that he really thought he had the upper hand, then shatter his ego by executing the law, knowing his pride would be his downfall.
His tears were not from guilt, It’s from knowing he’s going to prison and knowing he’s going to become a prison punk.
He's guiltilng others. Used them all the time with his mother I bet.
Tears?? There was nothing.... N. O. T. H. I. N. G.
Just theatrics
Even during his interrogation he was more concerned about the impact the situation was going to have on his life…. No one else’s!
@@jacshea6706 yes, I agreed with the Super Chat from Katherine Bangle, she pointed out that the real DB is the one in the interrogation room.
My interpretation of his tears are: They are just as real as an actor who thinks of personal experience in hardship and sadness to portray a scene. So, they are real, and there is definitely sorrow felt, but it's all from a selfish position: his family, friends and how that means to himself. I honestly don't believe he actually, at least currently, cares about the community. The interrogation videos and the way he's conducted himself shows his disregard of emotion to what he did and centered on himself.
Intent was proven in my mind when we learned that the lead detective was the first one that saw him on the parade route, banged on the hood of his car, motioned for him to stop and he wouldn’t. That is clear intent to do harm to people.
Agree!
Absolutely.
I think you’re mis interpreting intent in a legal basis. That’s intent to ignore a lawful order, not so much to murder (and don’t you dare say I’m saying he’s innocent by saying that lol)
I believe not stopping and asking a cop to direct him off of the parade route was WILLFUL! Continuing down the parade route was WILLFUL! Aiming the SUV to be in the path of people was WILLFUL! Driving at 33 MPH was WILLFUL because that involves a WILLFUL act to have the foot push down on the accelerator! This was not a case where his brakes were not working. Him continuing down the parade route with his brakes not working, I believe would be disregard for human life. Him driving into a telephone pole or a street light or into an unoccupied police squad car or any unoccupied car would be appropriate if the brakes were not working. But the brake were working.
@@Arminsaf2 It wasn't just that. Many other parts of this show that these were WILLFUL decisions Darrell Brooks made, not to disregard human life, but actively to end human life. If I am at Summerfest (hypothetical), close my eyes, and shoot a gun in random directions, I believe that is disregard for human life. However, if I took the same gun, w/ my eyes open, aiming and random people and then shooting these random people, I am intently committing murder. So, why didn't Darrell Brooks have intent when he purposefully and willful aimed his vehicle at people instead of stopping at an earlier part of the parade route and following police instructions on how to get off the parade route?
I'm glad the female prosecutor spoke up & stated what we've all commented on & have been so frustrated about. How disrespectful DB is & how much patience the judge has shown him. She's gone above & beyond & we're all over it at this point. He's the one who decided to represent himself. In the words of Fred Standford "Big Dummy"....
That's Sandford.
Ha ha good one! That’s so funny! 🤣 but on a serious note, your absolutely right! Anyone who goes to court without council is a “big dummy”
I think he was pissed at his Ex baby-mamma and was taking it out on the car/road. When he got to the parade his anger was at a fever pitch and he just decided to take it out on the people in the parade. After he hit his first person I think it shows intent. He knew what he was doing, especially after the first person he hit, he didn't stop his car. He intentionally continued to drive down that road and hit those people. That is intent to me.
same thoughts.
I think what he was REALLY enraged about was Nick bruising his ego. Nothing will make a narcissist lose their mind more than someone knocking them off their throne.
I agree completely
Yes exactly & that's why he's calling nick to dig in at him,he enjoyed having a chance to be in control of him as he will when he calls his ex because you know he's going to do that,she handled herself well last time hopefully she can do that again, this is the whole point of defending himself so he can just pick at them,he's angry at her & her friends & I'd guarantee he blames them for his actions 🤷🏻♀️
I totally agree with you
When they said they could see headlights and tail lights going up and down as he ran over peoples bodies and still never stopped that showed me he had reckless intent to keep on mowing people over
Even if he was trying to get away he could of honked his horn to let the other people he was approaching get out of the way but he didn’t warn them at all
He was on a fuel raged killing spree
In order to become an attorney he would need to:
1. Complete his HS education and receive a diploma.
2. Achieve an SAT score to get into a 4 year college program.
3. Complete a 4 year degree in a relevant major,
5. Complete the LSAT with a score high enough for law school.
6. Complete law school
7. Pass the BAR in his state.
I’m sorry but this will never happen nor does he have the intelligence to do so.
Who are you sorry to? THANK GOD he will never have a modicum of authority in his whole life. He doesn’t deserve any respect whatsoever.
To be fair he is his own lawyer so technically he beat the education system.
I suppose he is living proof of that phrase that says: "He who represents himself has a fool for a client"?
Good point about all the missing education, no way is this murderer doing any of that. He is too arrogant to be teachable. He does not have the emotional intelligence to practice law. He cannot sit still or stop talking and he is a terrible listener, no way could he learn anything new, literally. I am stunned people suggest he could have been a good lawyer. There is no way that works out. He is a woman beater, a predator with a very short temper and he is dumb as a bag of rocks.
#1 should be “have a father”.
Proven by not using his brakes . He was angry and took out on everyone . He life proved he had no regard for life .
I'm an empath, to my own detriment a lot of the time... yet it is SO clear to me that the opening statement was an act. Nothing more, nothing less. I agree those might be real tears... for HIMSELF, since it is finally being impressed upon him that he is going to jail for the rest of his life. We have all seen how he speaks and acts in court, being so extremely and unnecessarily rude to the judge, that many of us are cringing and can barely watch. Even though most of us love some courtroom fireworks! This is beyond all that, he has completely crossed the line and although I truly respected this judge (and still do, as I could NEVER display this level of patience), I do believe she has let him get over on her. Specifically when he gives his little speech about "no one's gonna tell me to do anything. I'm a grown man"...That would've been the end of it for me, as the judge. She can still protect his rights, but absolutely should've made it known right there and then, that he will do what she TELLS him to do, and she does not have to ask him for things like he's doing her a favor by complying with her minimal requests of him. Great video as always!
What's the $ amount of gifts to a Judge or prosecution after a trial is over
Same here. I didn't even get he was crying for himself. I got pure acting. Imo it's a technique he uses all the time to guilt others.
Same, the tears seemed to be from “oh crap, my freedom is gone”. I’ve never picked up genuine guilt/concern for anyone but himself.
Same here. I just came across this trial on you-tube one night not able to sleep. I was hooked seeing this big mouth, know-it-all with no remorse. Now, I can't wait to tune in for entertainment. I have learned so much about the law and court. Thanks, Peter. Your casual, friendly attitude is what keeps me watching & learning about law & order.
You aren't an "empath", as they do not exist. You do not have super powers or special abilities. Stop being silly.
There's a reason clinical psychologists don't recognize "empaths" as a thing, because it's woo woo nonsense. Some people are so desperate to feel special lol
After the 1st person was run over, and he didn't stop and render aid, then in my opinion he knew that damage must've been done to that person. After hitting the very first person he was well aware what would happen if he continued on the parade route. Any reasonable person knows that the vehicle was used as a deadly weapon. He intended to drive into that parade. There's no way around it.
he didn’t break and stop. he breakers, shook the body off and speed off again
Anything like this is so tragic, but the victims in this case just tear my heart out. Elderly grandmothers and an 8 year old child, two of the most vulnerable groups in our society
1 yr later and thus comment still can bring me to tears !! I'll never forget all these victims 💔 😔 😢
Have you notice that EVERY TIME the jury is enters the court, Brooks talks about subject matter jurisdiction? Every SINGLE time.
How could we NOT notice?
Tears are real, they are just for him though, not for what he did.. I think it's sinking in that he is done for and he is scared.
I want to move to WI!! These victims, cops, judge, citizens etc have had nothing but total class in all proceedings!! This community should hold their heads high how they face disaster, support each other, face adversity, and hold it all together, is unbelievable!!!! The love in this community is immeasurable!! Love and hugs to all impacted in Waukesha!!!!
Lol. Wisconsin has been known to be a complete mess the past few years.
And it’s cold
Kayley,
Explain
@@kayleyameliaHQ where in Milwaukee?
I agree! I spend some time in a small town in WI every year and frankly I'm surprised at the amount of self control. These are salt of the earth people who do not put up with nonsense. This trial has made tham all seem Canadian. 😁
Detective Casey pounded on Brooks’ hood and told him to stop when he first entered the parade route.
“Ain’t nobody tells me what to do.” - Darrell Brooks to Judge Dorow
I wish the jury had heard that so it could be used in the prosecution’s closing.
Exactly this. Which is also why he shows such strong reactions to those witnesses who are very outspoken and clear and won’t play along with his games. It’s all about control and nit being able to accept authority.
The whole mask reveal was about theatrics.
He tried to make it about medical safety but all the while it was just about theatrics.
He double crossed the public defenders and now he's double crossed the court.
Have you seen the 2007 documentary on meth called "Crystal Darkness"? He knew his name then.
Sidebar: do you think his jaw has been broken? It looks… off.
@@sww3405 no but one can hope that it will be
@@ann-retired he was in that documentary?!?
@@sww3405 It should be.
I think his melancholy was real, and what few tears there were, were for himself alone. His tears were about himself, he never said sorry, he never showed grief or misery over his recklessness that killed people and ruined others. Those tears are all about himself and the consequences he’s now facing. Tears for himself, not for anyone else.
Absolutely Correct!🧐
100%
At first he was going slowly and honking, then he started speeding up and not honking. At first I think he had no intent to kill anyone at the parade but then I think he became enraged that they were in his way and not clearing a path and formed an intent to run them over for the audacity of their continued presence in his path. The last officer (I believe the last) mentioned that he leaned out of the driver's window and veered his car straight into a group.
The intent was the blatant disregard for human life as he ran them over! Motive was to have his temper tantrum with no repercussions!
That's Why He Tried To Get That Uber The Heck Out Of There!!!🧐
@@mariowestcott6257 Small detail, but as a former uber driver, you can't call an uber from some random persons phone. I've heard that a lot from people who haven't used it (not talking about you btw, just what he said). You need the app so 1. That's the only way to request them. 2. So they can use the gps to find you. 3. The app is the only way to pay.
So, yeah. Asking that guy to use his phone to call uber was bs.
@@lando8913 I Personally Use Uber And Lyft And You're Absolutely Correct!😃 #Payment Must Be Connected To The Individuals Phone!!!
@Lando. and @Mario Westcott I completely understand what you are saying and you are 100% correct. Except the part that he was Indeed calling his mother for her to use her phone to call/order the Uber for him….that is why he had to ask so many different people because he was having problems contacting his Mom, and for his Mom to identify where to send the Uber. Remember the really sweet guy that gave him a coat and a sandwich? DB Mother called him a bit later and left a message to ask if he knew where her son was….the nice guy did not respond as DB had been arrested on his front lawn at that point….
His sniveling is gross and it's making me annoyed
This judge has more patience in this trial than I have had in my nearly 30 years of life! I get protecting from mistrial or appeal but DB is one of those people if you give them an inch, they take a mile. Only he has taken half an inch to 100 miles. I feel for the DA, jury, judge and court staff, they are gonna need a retreat filled with pampering to have any hope of recovering from this experience.
They're gonna have PTSD
@@carolmclaughlin4665 I almost feel it just from watching these summaries! They will definitely need some help to recover
She is both enabling him and encouraging him to get MORE disruptive by her leniency.... once she became "firm in her authority"(drawing the line), he stopped some of his manipulative antics in court. My opinion only....
They are gonna need more than a retreat when this is over! They are gonna need a psychiatrist and possibly counseling for PTSD! Can you imagine this judge’s nightmares in the future? She will wake up with Daryl Brook’s voice in her head screaming this is unfair! They’re laughing at me! They are making up exhibits on the fly! His whole spiel will be playing over and over in her head! She will need hypnotherapy to make it stop!!!!
He was smiling because in his brain you know being a total narcissist, he thinks he accomplished something. But the only thing he accomplished was to make himself look even more guilty. When your prosecution said no objections no cross examination all that his brain said, "nailed it!" but they had no reason to cross because he made himself look bad and they couldn't have did a better job of cross examining him then he did of himself.
Absolutely spot on. The only way to defeat a narcissist is by saying as little as possible. If you give a narcissist enough rope, they will hang themselves.
@@brucefriedman1 was married to one. 30 years later...he still tries to send messages via family members...doesn't have my number or address and if he ever showed up...he can't get past the security desk. Narcissist never give up. And then they fill their heads with imagined stuff to fill in the blanks of their lack of information.
Bit belated. While I'm normally up for a chance to criticize DB's behavior, in this particular case, given the timing of it... I think the simplest answer (which I heard from Rob from Law & Lumber) is probably true: DB was experiencing an adrenaline rush. From what Rob said, the first time you give your opening statements and call your own first witness (rather than cross examining) is kind of terrifying.
I’ve worked as a sgt in 4 Wisc prisons, they have secured rooms STRICTLY and private set up called THE LAW library.. the firms, computer, and actual library is available. Also , special privileges for people like him. Those tears came only when his kids and self came up! The prisons at least in this state bend over for all inmates!
He put his foot on that accelerator and drove so recklessly through a crowd with many people attempting to stop him. After a little while it is obviously intent to kill. He did not stop after the first person was hurt or killed. No slamming of the brakes etc
I wonder if he was hoping the police would shoot & kill him.
@@kathsch8966 I think it's very possible he wanted to become George Floyd 2.0. All his rap sheet wiped clean and multiple statues erected in his honour.
@@TheTigger020604 really ? 🤦🏻♀️ lol ur corny Fr why even bring up another grown man that was proven to be killed by a cop up in this situation bozo 🤔
@TheTigger020604 Awwwhh...Tigger, February 6th is indeed a special day! 💖
I'm a retired cop of 30 yrs and I spent alot of time in court. I agree with you that DB has a knack for law and if he had made different choices in his life he could've been a pretty good lawyer. I think he enjoys it and is realizing he could have been something if he hadn't made that terribly stupid choice that day. I hate what he did but I find no pleasure in watching him realize it's over for him forever. Such a sad situation all around.
You stated my thoughts exactly. Thank you! I kept thinking what a wasted life DB has. Life is all about choices.
I've been looking at him and thinking he is a clever guy and could have done so much for himself. I know he is not 100% on his law but for an amateur not bad and could have been good if he pursued a career in law
I agree, but it's not a stupid Choice he made that day it's a series of stupid choices he's made over the last 20 years.
I'm a son of a police officer, I'm also a convict, I do believe he is guilty, I also believe in what a good man said to me, he said do you know what the greatest gift in life is, you can always change who you are, I've been his employee for 28 years, I'm a residential house painter, I work with my own two hands to make a living.
You do understand that he's operating with material that was prepared by his public defender.... right?
I can’t wait for Saturday’s discussion about today’s (Friday) trial!! I’m so proud of the judge and the State- they have truly been respectful and professional even during his manboy discussions.
Friday was crazy!
She did not use chains or shackles, she put the deputies on him three times. First time, first hearing, taken out of court. Second time, forced him to wait to lunch to see nurse. Third time, covid diagnosis, guards took him to holding cell, gave judge paperwork. She played a 39 year old criminal. She also set him up, no witnesses by his on doing.
I thought it was crazy that the female witness he called saw him going the wrong way down a street before she went to the parade,so both his witnesses backfired.
I actually think he doesn’t understand what a witness to his case meant. As a defense you want witnesses to help you or so it’s how I’m sure it is.
He picked his witnesses from the prosecution’s witness list, just ones the prosecution ended up not calling because they got the testimony/evidence brought in by other witnesses. This was all info that came out during the times outside of the jury. He wanted 13 witnesses regardless of who they were because when 1 of his witnesses who the prosecution (because they helped him with getting his subpoenas) said moved to TX, Brooks made a comment saying “I need 13”….so that’s why he tried calling “the state of Wisconsin” today.
@@jillfeatherman5523 I didn’t notice that.. why 13 though? Did I miss something during this trial? (Genuinely asking)
@@yaryace421 Tbh, my thought was that 13 meant “lucky 13”….almost like it’s a superstition that #13 will bring him “luck”. I could be wrong but that’s how I took it. I think the #13 isn’t going to be so lucky for him though especially after his first 2 witnesses today.😅
@@jillfeatherman5523 hahaha I don’t know how he thought that calling people from the actual city he terrorized would help him. Anyways, thank you for clarifying the “13” thing. I thought I had missed something, which technically I did since I never heard him say anything about 13. Thank you kind lady.
I feel like he showed real emotion, during his opening statement. But that was the perfect time for him to apologise show some remorse. But unfortunately the tears were all for himself. He’s really just a scared little boy! 🖤
He's certainly been acting like a child.
Kirby CANNOT blame himself for this!!!!!!!!
The tears were real.. he saw that the jury wasn't buying his bullshit..
I think they proved intent because he was going relatively slow at the beginning of the parade, and going 30+ miles an hour by the end of the route.
Btw, I think the prosecutors knew that DB would talk about the pic from the rap video and intentionally put a pic not showing his face.. they know him well enough now to learn that he would open the door for them
they played his stupid ass like a fiddle, I love it
@@cozyflannel😂
The female witness was AWESOME. DB called her because she heard the horn honking. Then the prosecutor sweeps in and reveals that she was an eye witness to him driving the wrong way into the gas station and was able to ID him and the SUV! Backfired big time!
I feel so bad for Kirby. This is not your fault! He decide to drive thru people! He could have stop after the first!
I think intent is inherent in the actions and refusing to stop. Beyond the events, his refusal to apologize is just appalling.
DB went through several emotional moments today. He was angry, he cried and he laughed at one point. I personally can’t wait for the trial to end. I spend to much time listening to it. He is so disrespectful to the judge, jury and witnesses.
It’s June 1023… I missed seeing the DB’s discussions… I’m definitely enjoying it now… Thank the Lord… This horrible little man was put in prison forever…
The one notice I had while watching the trial is Kory and so many victims that survived have tears, remorse, and guilt for what happened. DB has shown no guilt or remorse.
DID you see his smile at the end of the questions of his witness today????? What the heck was that about?
Question: is there a way the court can protect his ex-girlfriend for further abuse and harassment when she's on the stand? I don't feel it's right he can question her further especially as she has a protective order on him.
No, i don’t believe so bc defendants rights trump most nearly all things in proceedings
On the other hand, I think she's finally waking up to what he is. Will help steel her spine.
I would think with a protective order in place, this would allow the Judge to place either the witness or DB in the other courtroom for remote questioning. My opinion only.
I wondered about this too. Why can’t he question her from another room??
They probably make exception on the NCO in court. I don't think they would want to divulge in any way that there's an NCO because of the prior acts ruling.
A bigger issue I would think would be the 32 phone calls he's made to her while in jail. Thats a violation of the NCO.
I think he had plenty of opportunity to run through one of the road blocks on one of the many side streets, but he didn’t. I think he definitely intended to hurt people because he has a temper and he clearly showed it every day but especially yesterday with the judge. So to me that proves when he gets mad he lashes out and doesn’t care what or who he hurts.
It was a temper tantrum.
Brooks also beat up his girlfriend for years
I think it's possible that he was upset that he lost his physical advantage over Erika when her friends showed up and when she had another man standing up for her. Maybe he drove through the parade initially because he was running from the police and was angry and didn't plan on hitting anyone initially. Maybe the police trying to stop him and pounding on his hood pissed him off further and his rage got worse. He obviously snapped at the slightest thing during the trial and it didn't take much to make him go off the deep end.
I think his tears are real but they are for himself. I don't see him showing remorse... I didn't hear him ever apologize either.
When he glares at the judge and his nose wrinkles up. He is a dangerous man!!
@@jodybrill2359 I'm glad I am not the only one. I am ready to see the end of this mess.
I think he felt really powerful asking Mr. Kirby questions. And he knew he was angry. That’s why he was smiling when he got down. Disgusting. Taking pride in upsetting other humans.
HE HE and KEE KEE KEE nailed him to the prison walls.
I think intent is deduced by the persistence of his behavior at the parade
Re: intent- I am from WI. I grew up about 45 min from Waukesha. I did a nursing clinic there. I have friends there. If I am acting as juror here’s what I know that those not from there don’t. 1. It’s not a huge place. 2. Wisconsin is notorious for having parades for everything and it’s going to be on the same street every year. 3. Everyone knows about the parade bc again small town everyone knows everyone so to speak.
I guarantee Brooks knew about the parade and where it was. It’s impossible not to. The car was driven into the parade with no stopping or slowing down. It’s been proven the car wasn’t faulty. It’s been proven it’s him. His name is proven. The car is proven to belong to his mom etc.
all of that including what I know about Waukesha proves to me it was intentional. The parade itself and the location is not a surprise to anyone there.
The same here in rural Texas we have parades on main Street most small towns do this fool got angry that his girlfriend went to a battered women's shelter because he beat her up.and instead of changing her# she kept communicating with him but when he punched her and she called her friends and they called the police he knew he was going to jail he took his anger on a crowd of innocent families and children had he done this in Texas he would have got the death penalty! he wouldn't be acting that way in our courts here!
@@kassandraahuero7962 I don’t think she change number cause there kid, didn’t want to change her number tell everyone new one also lot dv have hard time letting go sometimes it takes more ten times getting away that was my poor friend . An she also in women shelter lucky she was able bring her daughter . Also she’s been abuse by him an his family since age 14 yr old . This might be the 1st time she had friends that weren’t his. It will take time . But it show in court she hasn’t answered his 47 phone calls in jail
The DA, very professionally, got the message of 'get your head out of your ass and get control of this courtroom' to the judge...and she needed to hear it.
I'm elated he got handed first degree intentional homicide charges. I get that no matter what, he would have been sentenced to life but, to me, it's highly important that he was charged with intentional homicide because, for him to have been charged with less would have only reinforced his demented, narcissistic "justification" of not being held accountable for what he truly did.
His tears intitally confused me, and I did consider that there was genuine remorse, but as it went on, and he said "I took the mask off so you can see me" then I felt played. Reminds me of someone who is not sorry he did it, he just sorry he got caught.
He was crying because he knows he's screwed and feels like everyone is being unfair. Like, "boohoo poor him".
Hey, from Nebraska too!
I think the intent was proved when the people at the end of the parade route said he stuck his head out the window, looked back at what he had done, looked “excited and happy” and then sped up and kept going. At that point, he chose to keep going and hitting more people. Maybe the first 2 or 3 weren’t legally “intentional” and premeditated, but by the end it certainly was.
He never once exhibited the same concern or sympathy for Jackson Sparks or any other victim, like he did for himself, pitiful and pathetic performative BS.
Intent happened when he applied the brakes to toss the woman off the hood of the SUV and then ran over her. That’s intent.
What he did is horrific! How dare he beg the jury to keep their minds open!…. He plowed down innocent people enjoying a parade. Never knew what hit them!
He didn’t stop after the first victim. He totally disregarded the first officer who tried to stop him at the beginning of the parade!
Omg,he is such a peace of work.
What he says when he says “Axed” instead of Ask…just Grinds my gears
Did anyone hear him say something like “play the audio at this point!” What a putz!
Loved your imitation of DB being coy! Hilarious! Enjoying your discussion on the case. Hope he enjoys the rest of his life behind bars. Maybe he’ll get a taste of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of DV. Feel sorry for anyone who may ever have to share a cell with him!
Damn i missed it😢do you have a time stamp
He could have stopped after he hit the first person. But he continued driving. He may not have intended to kill, but he did. Thanks for the coverage 😊👍
But it was testified by numerous witnesses that he clearly aimed for victims, then the steering was turned towards other victims.
Demon and monster summed him up pretty well
Lies have always “worked” for him. However, his life of lies and manipulation got him to this point, not one friend and a life in prison. He is very lucky they abolished the death penalty.
Hi Peter, I can't wait for the victim impact statement, just to see how his reaction is going to be! His tears now is just for himself, he has always gotten away with everything he has done wrong, but NOT this time. He is going away for life!
Thank you for everything you do, been watching you from South Africa since the Johnny Depp case....
I would bet, and it would be fair to say, he will NOT be showing genuine sadness or remorse during victim impact statements.
@@jean9l187 I absolutely agree with you!
Can't wait to hear what you break down of Friday's courtroom antics!! It was a wild ride for sure and this time the jury got to see who Brookes really is.
The DA and the Judge have both acted admirably throughout the trial.
Rob (Law and Lumber) and Spidey (Behavioral Arts) had an interesting theory on the source of his tears during his opening. They suspected he broke down bc he saw no response from the jury, and realized how his case was going in their eyes (literally and figuratively).
I think he smiled after that witness because the prosecution asked no questions
Ugh. He got all the work his PDs had done for him, including getting that video excluded! He had their playbook for cross exams. I totally believe he read what was excluded and in his arrogance he thought he knew what that meant. He literally handed them that video and also his previous bad acts, only that detectives previous trial experience kept that out. I'm sure his attorneys explained that they wouldn't be harassing his ex(es) on the stand because it would open the door to prejudicial testimony about his criminal history. Pretty sure that got them fired. Arrogance is not intelligence, his confidence comes from mental/psychological instability.
I know my beliefs differ from others on this but, I wanted to share my thoughts. When he wouldn't shut up and relentlessly badgered her with, "Are you asking me or telling me", and she finally said, "I don't need to ask. I'm telling you", it reminded me of the authority a believer in Jesus Christ has over satan and demonic forces. He shut up as soon as she used her authority and commanded him to be quiet. It felt spiritual to me.
Why would you expect a narcissist to apologize? He would have to accept responsibility.
If only he had come clean and really confessed I think jury would have some empathy for him.
I think there is an intent because it was a parade and the road is closed off. He was informed and cautioned by the cop and others before it happened yet he still went for it and drove into the parade.
I watched the opening real time. I never saw a tear. Just him dabbing his eyes with a tissue.
Love your lives even though I’m a
Rewatch crew.
I found the video...his rap name is Rapper Mathboi...heard the audio...they actually did him a huge favor muting the audio.
He he key key is a jailhouse term. It’s not proper for the courtroom. I’m a C/O & that’s a ghetto term some inmates use. DB is scared to death because he knows his days are numbered because his paperwork says he’s a grandma KiLLeR, child KiLLeR, sex offender & he’s thrown up gang signs. 🎯 on his back! It’s absolutely impossible to protect this inmate. We don’t have protective custody in facilities anymore because they just don’t work! Brooks will not be able to be housed in Wisconsin. Even if he is extradited to another state the inmates know what he’s done.
He actually playing that lie up? That he’s a gang member? Lol
We can’t even say that there are fake tears…
I had zoomed in when he was crying throughout the trial, and they are no visible tears, his eyes are not red either.
The only one time there was tears was when he was talking about how close he was to his seven year old daughter, during sentencing remarks .. again those tears were for himself.
In this video, there aren’t any tears
My exact comments in many YT pages!
To the lady who sent the superchat stating it wasn’t his fault because the parade was blocking his route- GET REAL! If there are barricades and police and people, you go another way or just get caught 🙄
My favorite witness today by far was Erika Patterson's friend Nick!!! It was a hoot!!
It would be great to find out. DB misread the Public defender's notes and called people who were potential prosecution witnesses.
If you step on a rake the wrong way the handle hits you in the face.
Am I the only one that sat & watched in DISGUST, as Darrell Brooks cried & pled for Sympathy for himself, & really didn’t show any remorse for the Countless, Innocent Victims DB Plowed down! Sad, yeah Sad that he is done!
Thank you for all your recaps!
I think the intent of the still shot from the video used by the state was to clearly get the license plate of the escape, which is why they used that shot. DB did step in it, but I just think he has no control when he thinks anyone is 'getting over' on him.
Also Brooks beat up his beautiful Black girlfriend for years
@@gregorywright7263 Erica is such a gem, like she seems to be a really sweet person. And I personally think she’s super pretty and has cute mannerisms.
When the judge kept asking if he had anything after state wrapped, was because most ask for a dismissal because they claim the state didn’t prove their case, right? I’ve wondered about that exchange since and never heard it addressed.
The tears are absolutely genuine. But they are not tears of pity and regret, they are tears for himself alone, borne of his realization that he has chucked his life away and that there is no chance whatsoever that he is going to be found not guilty.
He didn't expect that his witnesses were actually witnesses at the parade. HE WASNT READY!!! DB dug himself a deeper grave by calling witnesses. I think he would of called personal witnesses that actually like him lol
Maybe he can't because all his "friends" are incarcerated out of state maybe? Just a thought.... My opinion only.
There was alot of cringy moments today and that's odd because the whole trial has been icky. My eyeballs have rolled back so much that they hurt. He never stopped and rendered aid and continued to play games after the fact with law enforcement. He showed no remorse and his crocodile tears today were all a show. Also, when he challenged the judge and motioned as if he was going to fight her she should have put him in the other room. He got away with way too much this whole time and today especially with his tone and hypocritical insights. Typical narcissist who needs to STFU because he chose to represent himself.
When I watch the trial I can’t even focus on him because every time I see him it makes my skin crawl. Especially when he makes eye contact with the camera or opens his mouth enough to show his teeth, it’s like watching guts spoil out. 🥴🤮
@@TenTenJhis physical appearance is so creepy to me. His tiny little ears and tiny hands and big hugs head. He looks like a demented pitbull. Even the dainty way he moves his hands is gross
Yep you’re right there’s a little bit of real tears but you’re right there only for him
Ugh! The only real “tears” he shedded was at his sentencing mumbo jumbo crap!!!
Oh please! He’s evil! He could have stopped at the first hit… but he didn’t!
He’s crying because he’s going to prison for life. He is a very evil man.
How can any serious person think that he “ didn’t mean to” do what he did? Someone please explain this. He would’ve stop after he hit the first couple of people if it wasn’t intentional. He wouldn’t of killed 6, and wounded 62 people! If it was an accident. You can’t be serious.
I think many people are saying that *possibly* the first person wasn’t intentional. But the following ones….most likely intentional.
Heck no he isn't sorry. For himself. And he could care less about his kids or his mom!
@@Future-zx9ts Then they all should be considered intentional. He hit the first few, and was like “fuck it then”?
@@griffon129 I’m not sure how you gathered that from my comment. Have a nice day.
@@Future-zx9ts that wasn’t in reply to your’ comment. I didn’t read your’ comment.
He never stopped!!!!!!!!@
With regard to intent, according to Wisconsin law he only had to be AWARE, that his or her conduct is practically certain to cause that result. Code 939.23 sub 3. Hitting someone with a vehicle and/or running over them proves this aspect of Intent.
New subsciber, i came across your channel completley by accident and im impressed with how you say it as it is. You have an amazing community who are respectful of each others opinions and im glad i can be apart of it. Im so happy to be here..
He’s never served real time for any of his crimes. He gets a slap on the wrist each time. I think he blames Erica for this and if he didn’t see her then this wouldn’t have happened. That’s what he said in the interview with the detective.
So I didn’t understand at first why Kirby said he knew of DB a week prior and Kirby told EP it was a bad idea for her to meet up with DB…
But now I understand it’s b/c DB ran over EP with the same red SUV and broke her leg a week prior
Intent was proven when he did NOT STOP!!
