Derrell Brooks is one of the most disgusting MF, POS, SOB human beings in the world.
I remember watching this fool. I have much respect for Judge Dorow. She showed exceptional restraint and patience

How absolutely selfish and utterly disgusting for him to say, "My life is over," after he had run over so many people.
exactly yes the judge had patience of a saint. And process while it can win in the end, is whittled to an uncomfortable needle in the haystack of insanity and disorder which this tramp of a pseudo lawyer chose to use to rob any decorum which could be some cold comfort. Disgusting to allow any more of that.
They were white. He didn’t care.
He said himself that he didn’t believe he hit “that many people”. Hitting one was too much. He tried everything possible to obstruct the process of the court. His behavior was atrocious. His tactics of intimidation of the judge and witnesses were irredeemable. I’m glad the woman who spoke during impact statements told him to stop rolling his eyes, etc. That she had been watching him on TV acting out and how disgusted she was. No one was in judge Dorow’s shoes. Despite what people criticized her for being too lenient, in time we were not there. She was up against a pure evil opponent. I know she prayed to God for patience and wisdom in handling Mr Brooks. She did an outstanding job making sure DB received a fair trial where there wouldn’t be enough evidence in appeal for a mistrial. If she had to go overboard in dealing with Brooks, then she did what she thought was right. TGBTG!
His statement of not thinking he hit that many people was just one more lie. An habitual liar, manipulator, predator, etc.
Yes, Judge Dorow went out of her way to accommodate DB throughout the trial. At sentencing the heavy gavel was coming down and she was through with his yelling and ridiculous objections. I honestly believe he did not know how to spell 'pledge.' Happy Thanksgiving. @@cynthiatucker2147
@@cynthiatucker2147… Very well said! 👍
I agree with everything you just said. This man is a monster and his anger got the best of him because number one, he had a woman who is much more powerful than him that he had to answer to and number two, his anger and frustration were palpable. He had no idea what he was doing and the prosecution obviously did. Each time the prosecution did something he didn’t understand, he’d get angry and call “unfair.”
It wasn’t unfair. It was the prosecution knowing what they could do, legally. His ignorance of the law is what ticked him off so much!
I don't know why his mom wasn't charged for repeatedly letting this moron drive her car w/ out a license
How about filing a false police report. She called the Waukesha County dispatcher and said that her son stole the vehicle.
At a minimum, the families need to go after her in a civil case for the damage since he continued to enable him, especially after he tried to run over Erika Patterson with the same vehicle 2 weeks prior to the incident.
@@louisbouchard6869 she was driving a 2010 beat up explorer, they arent gonna get any money from her
@@JbSprinkles True, she has no money today. What happens however is she is willing to sell DB's side of the story herself to get around the Son of Sam law applied to DB? In Wisconsin, a judgement lasts for 20 years. That is certainly enough time to ensure that she and as a result, DB, does not profit from his crime. That is why a civil suit. It is not about today, it is about tomorrow.
In MA if you let someone drive your car w no license and something bad should happen car owner gets charged criminally. If she immediately called and said her car was stolen I'm guessing she thought she was going to get in trouble too. And she should have.
She reported her vehicle stolen AND called an Uber to try to help her son flee the area. Accomplice and backstabber.
RUclips won’t allow me to say what I’d like to say…what should be said…about Darrell Brooks. I’ll leave it at that.
Yep same with me I’ve had 2 warnings on different shows I’ve watched only trying to stand up 4 the innocent but yep RUclips has cut me off twice nkw4 making a comment that only millions of others want to say, but that freedom of speech 4 ya
@@jax993 And yet they will allow videos of POS’s dog cussing hard working people
I think the judge said it all with, "and Mr. Brooks I believe you are one such person." She separated subject and adjective with many words, but she called him evil to his face.
It was not God's will that Brooks killed 6 and injured 68 others! How dare him say such a thing!
It should not be allowed that a abuser/murderer can question their victims..
Could not agree more!!
Agree 100%!! Disturbing and disgusting!!
Accused has right to "face their accuser".....but I think it should work the other way as well. The victims should be allowed to question the accused.
The defendants rights have to be respected as well as the victims being protected. It's one of many grey areas where there isn't a clear cut answer and there probably never will be one. The best we can do is protect the victim as best as possible so it doesn't become as bad as this a**hole tried to make it.
Agreed
I believe Brooks when he says his conscience is clear. Because he doesn’t have one and he honestly could care less about what he’s done. The only charge that bothers him is the battery because he hates for Erica to ever win anything.
He could NOT care less than he already does.
The jackass.
I 100% agree. The biggest issue he had with the trial was trying to get one over on Erica and being able to question her. He was literally salivating.
That is the narcissistic control he kept wanting to regain over her. I'm glad the judge shut it down.
He only cared about anything having to do with Erika. The judge should have never allowed him to bring her back on the stand. He's still holding her hostage with the case where he ran her over injuring her leg weeks before this attack.
@@Ann-kg1zdThat's how the law is supposed to work... the judge did the right thing. It's not something she could decide one way or the other. You broads aren't very bright sometimes.
What a horrible man . No remorse. Where's the death penalty in these states. Horrible. 😞
Democrats got rid of the death penalty.
Exactly
This state doesn’t have the death penalty
I live here trust me it sucks that we don't have it! Half the crap that goes on here wouldn't if we did!😠
@@gameday9863have we forgot about the IDaho murders?
The reading of the 6 life sentences still gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears all this time later. Bravo Judge Darrow.

@@white_genocide2050 nope. Why?

@@white_genocide2050why
Got off too easy!!!!
This was a tragic, disgusting, sordid case. I watched the trial. The Judge handled this travesty with grace, patience, respect for the legal process, the victims and with assertion.
Brooks was impossible. Judge Dorow handled herself well. It's because of her he will never be free again. Something the prior judges failed to do. Well done!
The judge showed that she was intimidated by DB & impatient with the witnesses & the prosecution. As long as DB questioned & harassed witnesses, she never asked him how much longer he would be, but she continually asked the prosecution as if they were taking too long.
She did, but to the world she was professional, but in the legal community she was weak and it's why she didn't get elected as chief Justice. She didn't put her foot down wen he wld rant
@@nancygreen1655 I would love to see any video time stamp that showed she was intimidated. My bet is every other judge, who was eligible to hear the case, was relieved they didn't get it. She showed wisdom and patience in every effort to prevent an appeal. No judge male or female would have done better.
@@illumination101I get the impression that was a very fine line to walk - if she'd put her foot down and taken a total no-nonsense approach, it's more likely DBs defense would get traction with unfair treatment claims. Perhaps a mistrial would have resulted, or perhaps it would have simply dragged out litigation at the expense of families. He is probably never getting out of prison and she continues to sit on the bench despite loosing the chief justice nomination. Still a win, even if imperfect.
In the entire trial he did nothing but mock the law, the judge,and most importantly, mock the suffering he caused. Showing absolutely no remorse and playing the victim. It’s absolutely disgusting.
I would have had a hard time on that jury. When he kept interrupting, I would have wanted to stand up and shout “Shut the hell UP!”
Yes. She was far more patient than I could ever be
I would’ve said, in the words of Madea, “PUT THE SHUT TO THE UP!”
@@olaedoajoku590😂
I bet you wouldn't say that when he's barreling right towards you at break-neck speed in an suv. 🤪
@@DarkPlanet-hx1jz oooh sOoO eDgY 🤪
This was the first trial I have ever watched from start to finish. It was bizarre, enraging, and heartbreaking. I’ll never forget it. My heart breaks for those who lost their lives that day, those who were injured, and those who were re-victimized by that piece of human trash in the courtroom. That includes Erika Patterson. 💔
Same here. Judge dorrow is currently residing over another case atm the eye drop murder. I'm keen to watch her in action again she's fantastic
I couldn’t watch the entire trial I’m sorry to say. Mr Brooks got on my nerves and I had to put my phone down and walk away. I was so exhausted watching his antics. He made me so angry. I didn’t have to sit through it but the judge and the prosecution did. I give them tons of credit going through that fiasco.
My friend started talking about the trial and so I started watching it. I was so exhausted by the end of it, I can’t imagine the people involved. I admired the judge for handling it as well as she did.
I have been catching up with the trial. I can’t believe the level of tolerance and patience of the Judge. She was phenomenal. This man show no remorse and continually mocked the law, and the pain he caused. Smh
I bet cause he blk you mean to tell me you didn't watch the trial of that man that shot them schools up
I cried and clapped with everyone else when the judge handed down a life sentence for each victim. 700 plus years!!!
I got actual chills when she read the first,then subsequent guilty verdicts! Finally,he’s going to be held accountable and will be controlled, because he certainly wasn’t controlled throughout the trial.
@@nancygreen1655 Judge Jennifer Dorow deserved a vacation to either Florida, Arizona, Hawaii or Puerto Rico to mentally decompress and get her mind off of this case after the jury had declared Darrell Brooks guilty on all charges.
@@MichaelLovely-mr6oh she actually said she had some time off coming while they were trying to pin down the sentencing date, & DB was trying his best to push it off as far as he could, cause you know, the “bidness” man that he is, he had lots of things to put into place! 😂
Yeah, alot of BP tried to excuse this bum. I was done after he beat up Erika. He tried to hit her, too. Bum has to use his mom's car at 40. He's a joke.
@@nancygreen1655She deserved it. If the Lifetime network happens to make a movie on the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack; I think Sandra Bullock would be a great choice to portray Judge Jennifer Dorow. Similarly; I think either Kristin Davis or Constance Marie could portray Judge Elizabeth Scherer in a Lifetime movie on the tragedy at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL back in 2018.
This case was literally insane to watch, he literally made his self look like a fool
So did the judge…..
@@paultopp7833the only fool here is you. The judge handled it like a pro, ignoring Devil Brooks' ass
His goal was to simply delay as much as he could because he knew his freedom was gone. Simple as that.
He drove the HELL out of that SUV though.
*himself
Judge Dorow = Grace and Dignity
He never showed any remorse. He cares about himself only. He deserves to be locked up forever
Yeah, I love the way he tries to use his kids. Like he's some great father. Doesn't even live in the same state as his kids and doesn't pay for them. He's one of the biggest bums I've ever seen. Him and his raggedy mother.
N now he is locked up forever in his new home in BOSCOBEL WISCONSIN STATE SUPERMAX PRISON
The judge on this case deserves an award for having to deal with this POS!!! I feel SO sad for the folks of waukesha!!! 😢
She dropped out of the election though, after very poor polling
@@amandajackson8531that was for the Wisconsin Supreme Court. She's still a judge.
@@littleangel4780 I know that
An award for failing to control her courtroom ?
For wasting time arguing instead of being professional ?
You sound dumb Paul. What was she supposed to do, have a bailiff wrestle him? She was in a difficult position. She showed a lot of restraint and fairness - he will never get an appeal or mistrial because of her. He can never claim he was treated unfairly.
Idiotic courtroom behavior. Not to mention his lack of empathy regarding victims, alive and dead. Disgusting 🤮
I know. The eye rolling and face-making just enraged me. And his complete, utter disrespect for the judge and everyone else in the court was just infuriating.
@@QueenOfTheNorth65And for him and his family to blame that on mental illness. That's pure evil.
This man is so despicable, and it was one of the most difficult court cases I’ve ever watched. So happy he’s behind bars for ever and ever.
Exactly, it's no way I could have gotten questioned by him without snapping if I was the ex or the victims of this monster. The Judge and Prosecutor's did an amazing job!!!!
@@babyofmyfamily Oh I would have been snapping too. And name calling!
Derrell Brooks is one of the most disgusting MF, POS, SOB human beings in the world.
Just think..this scumbag would’ve been in JAIL if the DA hadn’t agreed to a 1K bail for him on a domestic abuse charge! This monster was a repeat violent offender who had never been held accountable for his actions.
I watched this in real time last year. I still watch replays of it today. This is a case study on many things, from narcissism, pathological lying, to basically being an a**hole.
I’ve watched many court cases over the years but this one absolutely blows my mind. It’s horribly tragic yet this guy just keeps going. He has to be one of the worst people on the planet.
Outstanding comment.
I agree 💯
Yep, A DONALD TRUMP MINIME!
Someone believed that Darrell Brooks has mental health issues; but he was evaluated by two separate teams of clinical psychiatrists and psychologists during the time he was incarcerated at the Waukesha County Jail awaiting trial and they ultimately came to same conclusion: Darrell Brooks had no history of mental health issues or mental illnesses. In other words; Darrell was of sound mind and fully aware his actions were wrong at the time of the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack, but he simply didn't care about the consequences.
@MichaelLovely-mr6oh actually 4 evaluations, this judge left zero room for error
@@melissamcclain34 Still, at least it was a unanimous conclusion by the psychiatrists and psychologists who evaluated Darrell Brooks during his time at the Waukesha County Jail awaiting trial that he had no history of mental health issues or mental illnesses that would have rendered him unable to know right from wrong.
His mother's red suv. She never ever accepted responsibility or apologised ever to any of the victims.
She keeps saying "Oh he didn't mean to do it...." She said the same thing to Erika when he ran her over.
@@matt_canonDarrell Brooks' mother spoiled him to the point of entitlement and believing that he could do no wrong. He also had an extremely short temper that was frequently on display towards his ex-girlfriend Erika Patterson whenever he would viciously beat her. During the initial investigation into the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack; there were claims that Brooks had mental health issues, but he was evaluated four times by two separate teams of clinical psychiatrists and psychologists during his incarceration at the Waukesha County Jail awaiting trial; two for the defense and two for the Prosecution. After their evaluations; they came to the same information: Darrell Brooks had no history of mental health issues and had never been diagnosed with any mental illness that could hinder his ability to know right from wrong. In layman's terms; Brooks was not insane and fully aware his actions were wrong, but he simply didn't care about the consequences.
He didn't take responsibility for so many things... he didn't even own the vehicle he used.
His mama owned it. Hell, he didn't even take responsibility for knocking Erika Patterson up when he was an adult and she had just turned 15.
I agree. Lets not call him daryl...that implies an actual human. Lets call him poop
What makes this POS even worse, is he takes zero responsibility, zero accountability, and denies his involvement. Those poor family members having to deal with this sociopath on a daily basis.
The judge is truly a saint she handled the whole thing so professionally. I admire her so much
Many people were frustrated or angry, saying Judge Dorow let Brooks have too much power during the court proceedings.
Judge Dorow brilliantly handled every outburst of every day.
The bottom line was she wasn’t going to let there be any possible mistakes on her part that would allow this heartless, soulless monster grounds for an appeal.
He’ll never get one. Besides 6 consecutive life sentences he has over 1000 years to serve for the 60+ cases of injury with a dangerous weapon; a three thousand pound car going at 40 miles an hour.
It won’t bring those murdered people back or erase the pain and trauma of the injured people. But it’s as close to justice as we can get on Earth.
God will serve this narcissistic, selfish, evil manipulator his eternal justice.
She did a bad job. If you follow procedures correctly and know about the law, like judges are supposed to, then there can't be an appeal. She was playing things up for the camera and saw it as her career case ticket. Luckily her theatrics didn't benefit her career and she lost the bid for the state supreme court.
@@cards0486nah, she was awful.
@@theloanranger2632Her & the prosecutors handled their business with this case. They made sure that he didn't have a SNOWBALL CHANCE IN HELL for an appeal. They knew what he was trying to do. Because him & his TRIFLING mother were heard on jail phone calls saying that he was going to do whatever he had to do in order to get an appeal or prolong this trial. I blame him, the judge that lowered his bond & his TRIFLING mother that paid for him to get out of jail. He was in jail because he attacked & hit Erika with that same vehicle he used in this attack. Everything he did & said is on the record. She made it very clear that she wasn't willing to prolong the victims & their family & friends their day in court any longer than it had already been. It had already been close to the 1yr anniversary.
@@plummy221 You just pointed out why she isn't a good judge. If you don't want to make grounds for appeal because you don't know what you are doing, don't make statements that imply a defendant is already guilty and suggest you are rushing the proceedings.
His mother called him a "caged bird". Here's my answer in verse dedicated to our true crime community.
I know why the caged chicken sings
A free chicken clucks
right outside the hen pen
and nibbles
those corn seeds
thinkin' they'll never end
But the caged one
lives in unending fear
of the inmate next door
who his life will tear
Once that green soap is dropped
and the lights have gone down
"Objection" he cries
before hitting the ground(z).
The caged chicken sings
with a fearful trill
of those things unknown
that baffle him still
like relevancY, hearsay
and everything law
and taKit agreements
remorse, honor and awe.
This narcissist's standing on the grave of our dreams
we've all seen the havoc
we've all heard the screams
yet he's playing games
and gives people looks
he opens his throat
to croak "Not Darrell Brooks"
And his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for this caged chicken
is a monster.
His mother is sobbing
but no tears of remorse
she should have thought better
'fore his acts she'd endorse.
This poem is ending
enough has been said
forget him, I tell you
to our world he's dead.
Beautiful Poem❤
When I watched the trial I didn’t notice Erica’s face when DB said Happy Birthday to her. She smiled a “biting” smile and cut if off quicker than a blink! It was so gangsta! I absolutely LOVED that move! I was so proud of her for showing the world how she felt about his birthday wish!
I wouldn't have thanked him.
I think it was just an automatic gesture of politeness.@@chloerodgers692
The face she made was beautiful. That look and the eyerolls said exactly how she feels about him. Didn’t notice that when first watching the trial. Love it.
But Erika messed up by trying to keep in constant contact with Duh-rell on the day of the parade. Erika should have moved on years ago.
@@LKH23 Do we know who called who? I can't imagine her calling him since he was the one that wanted to squeeze the money out of her. But she has that judgment when she kept answering his calls. Then again, we don't know the whole story.
I’m so impressed they held the trial, reached a verdict and sentenced this man in time for the next year’s parade. I still remember the testimony of the ME crying on the stand about Jackson Sparks. It was such horrific event but the trial will never be forgotten because of the antics of Darrell Brooks.
The ME testimony was heartbreakingly powerful, and yet not a hint of empathy, respect or compassion for those whom he hurt or killed, and the way in which he conducted himself in court was no different than at the parade that night.
the victim impact statement from Jackson's mother was even worse.
@@RoboBongoCuckooCop it just shows how gut wrenching losing a child can be and the hurt it leaves on a family for a longtime
After this trial I cannot understand why people call the death penalty cruel & unusual punishment!
Why don't we ask the innocent ones injured and the families of those murdered by this monster if this is the case!
The problem is that Wisconsin executed one man 170 years ago in 1851 (the only state execution) and it was botched so bad that 2 years later, the state banned the death penalty and there is still not the legislative gumption to reinstate it.
This was so crazy that I still can’t believe he represented himself
That spirit of pride told him he was in control and he would win...except evil ALWAYS lies...and he was stupid enough to believe he was smarter..he could lie and talk his way out of this..sounds foolish? Because it is..
@@lightfountain Not shocking. The way other court systems in Wisconsin and in other states dealt with him, he figured he would get away with it yet again.
I want him to testify. That would've been epic.
@lightfountain His view of the world is distorted. I think he really thought people would view him as a victim, or he just wanted to make a mockery of the court, victims, especially Erika.
@@lightfountainBecause he's used to talking his way out of everything. This was no different. That POS thought he was smarter than everyone.
The absolute best part of this trial was when she handed down the sentence. A close second is when Darrell brooks held up to pictures and ask Erica Patterson if she recognize those pictures. And the way the male prosecutor shredded him and said Darrell brooks is a registered sex offender. Darrell brooks interrupted him because he didn’t want anybody to know that he was a registered sex offender and the prosecutor said I’m not done yet and Erica Patterson was let off the stand to never be seen again by Darrell brooks I have to believe that he only had her testify to one to say look at me I do what I want I argue with the judge, and since the last time you seen and talk to me, I became an attorney and two I think it was a chance for him to get to see her because I truly believe she did not contact him or write to him, and he wanted to see her because he told her happy birthday, and then became the Darrell brooks that we all knew
I Just hope that unlike the county jails, the prison system will ensure that the no contact order is enforced.
Erika was the one he was charged with an convicted of raping because she was a minor. He is forbidden to contact her by law!
Bingo....
When he realized all of that showing off for Erika and she didn't give 2 chits about him being in a suit and pretending that he's a laywer. He was like look I'm a good person now look at me. He knew she didn't want him anymore. When she was done the second time testifying, he wasn't interested in his other witnesses. He wanted to torcher jer.
The people of Waukesha will forever be in my prayers.
He asked her how she could call herself a judge well he found out in the end
I was born and raised in Waukesha Wisconsin. To see this happen in person was the worst mistake inhumane horrific nightmare. Prayers to all the victims and those who perished. Judge Dorrow did a heck of a job proceeding over this animal
I don’t blame the gentleman who had an outburst! This entire trial was an absolute disaster for the victims, the families and the people of Waukesha! I don’t know how they held their composure throughout the whole trial!
Has anyone else noticed the front windows of the red SUV were up initially, and then both are down at the end of the parade? I think he rolled them down as he was attacking the people so he could hear the screams. He got off on what he was doing IMO..
True & also, the front hood was damaged so bad. He had to look out to see ahead, as he kept hitting people while driving.
A couple people testified that he hung out the window and turned all the way around to see the carnage and bodies he left behind. One of Lee Owen's sons said that he saw him smiling with his head out the window.
This is a case I will never forget. Watching everyday, the antics and disrespect Brooks showed to victims and to Judge Dorow. Thank God he is off the streets and will never hurt anyone ever again. Such a tragedy. My thoughts are still with the families of Waukesha.
Wait till he comes face to face with God. He won't be able to interrupt God, he won't be able to lie to God. When God says "depart from me, I never knew you, db will not be able to talk God out of this sentence. He will forever be with Satan.
Strange how the elephant in the room was never discussed..clearly a race/hate crime as well.
So here is Exactly what Happened: He had just been in a Argument with his Girlfriend, so He is already Super Angry, When He Comes across the Parade (who He feels is in his way) So He Decided to throw the Ultimate Rage Tantrum, and take out His Aggression on Innocent People. Period.
Yep. EXACTLY
This is the most accurate summary of the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack in plain simple language.
@@MichaelLovely-mr6oh Thank you. I thought so too.
@@user-mn5du9te4jI have remarked that after this trial Judge Jennifer Dorow deserved a vacation to either Florida, Arizona, Hawaii or Puerto Rico to mentally decompress and escape the bitterly cold weather of Wisconsin. However I am genuinely certain that she would have been dealing with paparazzi hoping to snap pictures of her in a bikini.
I feel that she allowed the applause because of his blatant disrespect all through the trial.
RIP to all victims and families of victims, I’ll never forget this horrible time for this community.
I watched this for the entirety of my pregnancy last year and Omg…my heart broke for these families. For that whole city. The judge is a credit to her profession and did phenomenal against this maniac.
I know that Judge Dorow got a lot of flack for the number of things Brooks got away with, and a lot of people put it down to her former defense work.
I think that she had a nearly impossible task: a clear psychopath who was psychologically capable of conducting his defense who was clearly doing anything that he could to delay the inevitable. She had to do what she could, within her authority as judge, to get the trial to its completion.
She was the only judge who put him away. I commend her!
Not only that but the judicial situation really tied her hands on what remedies should could use to counter his actions:
1) Criminal Contempt - What would 30 more days be to someone who is facing and got 6 Life sentences plus 700 years in prison and was in custody already. He would have continued knowing that the sentence was meaningless.
2) Civil Contempt - This is what Brooks actually wanted because he knew if he could get this, he could delay the trial indefinitely. Judge Dorow knew it too. Again, he was in custody to he would have simply refused to behave.
3) Bind and Gag - I kinda wish she would have done this during her sentencing remarks but in a way, it is probably good that she did not. During the trial, it would only have lead to a mistrial or an overturn because how could Brooks represent himself if he was bound and gagged.
4) Removal - A full removal would have again delayed the trial and rewarded Brooks. However, the Waukesha County Courthouse is brand new (I think it opened only 3 - 4 months prior to trial) and thus had state of the art technology. This allowed the judge to remove Brooks to another courtroom where should could mute him but at the same time, he could participate in his defense and represent himself. This was the best option she had to keep the trial moving and she used it.
Now, as to Illinois vs Allen, the key words Brooks missed was "at least" when they mention the possibility judges have to remove contemptuous defendants such as Brooks. SCOTUS also said that no one solution would be the right one for all trials as each one is different. The SCOTUS justices were wise to give judges wide latitude in dealing with defendants like Brooks and I doubt he will win an appeal on being removed. In fact, if the courts allow arguments, it might be only to update Illinois v. Allen so that it covers modern courtrooms.
Judge Dorow had a bad poker hand in this situation and yet she played to the best of her ability to win the pot at the end anyways.
Not to mention making it impossible for an appeal.
Calculated and hate crime...
😂 its never a hate crime when they are pasty white 😂
It was not a damn hate crime. He got in an argument with his girlfriend! Yes, he hates and bragged about killing whites. But, no that is not why he did it.
I bet his prior lawyer are glad they did not have to represent him
Thankfully for Judge Dorow and the jury. I wouldn't have been able to keep my mouth shut if I was in the courtroom as a family member/victim or as a junior! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Judge Dorow and the prosecution team did an excellent job, my prayers go out to the family that were affected by this tragedy ❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this Judge. She, to me, is the best Judge I watched by far. She handles this case with grace, patience, and respect.
You forgot to mention how he questioned every witness pretty much as if they were on trial 😂
The fact that in the trial he tried to blame the auto manufacturer that it was the fault of the brakes or stuck gas pedal and his grams neglected to get it repaired. Such a POS
That alone put him in the driver's seat. Only a driver of that car 🚗 would know
The City of Waukesha's 60th Annual Christmas Parade will be held on Sunday, December 3, 2023, at 4:00 p.m.. Downtown Waukesha, I will be there with my Grandchildren...
I don’t know why I’m still obsessed with this horrific case?
Probably like any of us. It's like a horror movie but in real life that you can't believe is actually happening.
Because it is so outrageous! Normal people can not understand or believe it! Brooks is a criminal mind with no regard for anyone other than himself! Pure manipulative narcissistic asshole! 😠😠😠
Same. I think I’m fascinated because none of it makes sense. The cause doesn’t match the effect. The who has no why. All that pain and suffering with no warning. It’s mind boggling.
@@SlickArmor he’s a real life human monster
So did he get out of jail
His horrible lack of remorse is INTOLERABLE.
Such an evil person!
Putin?
Brooks doesn’t have a heart he has an organ.
And it's so small it's hardly noticeable.......lol!
Darrell Brooks is an ill-mannered sack of crap.
@@eliegroff392Like a pebble.
I’ve watched trials since the very first televised case. I don’t know why this one has me watching everything, every video, every lawyer comment and even body language experts. When the judge allowed the applause after each murder verdict I couldn’t help but think she was, in her heart, clapping with them. She is amazing.
I can’t even begin to verbalize the absolute rage I have for this entitled, arrogant monster! The gall of him fake crying and saying HE needs a moment, it made me want to vomit! My heart goes out to all the victims and their families and I pray that they will someday have some semblance of peace!
I totally agree with your assessment of Brooks ,I'm from the uk and I've never hated anyone like I have him .cheers

This was very well done! Thank you, in memory of those who still grieve ❤😢❤
I watched the whole trial. Attorney Zack Wittchow was superb. I think he will go on to have an amazing career.
As did Susan Opper.
Zach Witchow was a Boss! The way he cross examined Mrs. Yurell was masterful.
I agree, he was the redirect king
@@trendywipp3715 he was very protective of the female witnesses too when the killer was harassing them .
His statement upon being convicted was so disgusting. What a vile, evil, narcissist. Enjoy life in prison and afterlife in hell, MR BROOKS.
The only reason it took 2 hours was because the jurors had to fill out over 70 guilty forms.
This is almost as annoying to watch as it was during the trial. My heart goes out to the victims, judge and prosecutors. He’s a POS. I love how far Chanley Painter has come along! You go girl! 💕
We watched in horror from the UK, the amazing Judge and patience of all who were harmed, directly or indirectly, in our thoughts daily 💙💔💙💔
RIP to those who lost their lives over this guys evil acts and to the injured i hope and pray God heals you all physically and emotionally. To the families of those whom were killed or hurt. hope you find peace. Bless ye all
There's just not enough that can be said about Judge Dorow. She dotted every single i and crossed every single t to make sure all bases were covered. Her grace and dedication was exactly what was needed in dealing with this fool.
I would give anything to know what his day to day life is like now. I wonder if he thinks about when he's alone in his cell.
I’ve not seen that footage before, he came round that corner on two wheels 😡
He is the epitome of a narcissist.
What's funny about this murderer, he tells the judge she and this court has no integrity..I almost threw up.
I've rewatched so many times. He is beyond evil. The community he terrorised are amazing, loving and strong people.
It always amazes me how the perpetrators of these horrific crimes claim that they did it because they wanted to end their own lives.... then from the moment they are arrested through to the trial they do nothing but try to save it....
Darrell Brookes is an absolute MONSTER!!...
Prayers for the victims and their families ❤....
He wasn’t trying to end his life. He was mad after his girlfriend pissed him off.
@@Inbetweenthelinesnow
I read something about he'd considered ending his life after his girlfriend called the cops on him after he beat and choked her.... but inevitably chose to drive through a Christmas parade... ❤
@@MsPopeye65 She never said he choked her. Plus he wasn’t the one who called the cops that day, at least. Watch the trial.
@@Inbetweenthelinesnow Mm-hm. Two of Erika Patterson's friends called the police after they got her to safety following Darrell Brooks beating her.
The three prosecutors were absolutely flawless in this case.
Those idiots who believe his mom, who says he blacked out??? Yeah he snapped out of pretty quick. Knew to ditch the car, clothes, and call an Uber!!! Sure… totally believe he blacked out!😂😂😂😂😂🤬🤬🤬
If the system is there to protect victims then it failed 1,000 percent with this one.
I have watched this trial from start to finish 20 times one of those times being live as the trial took place and every single time I'm moved to tears hearing the victim impact statements and Judge Dorow's speech before the sentencing. R.I.P... to those who lost their lives that fateful day 🙏❤️
Its pathetic this monster was allowed to get off on this humiliation of victims once again pure evil .
This is by far the best coverage of this trial I have seen and I have seen a lot.
It is so incredibly tragic, not only for what he did, but that we as a community, as a nation, will show more guilt and more sorrow for HIS actions than HE ever will. Prayers for the victims of this tragedy, prayers for their loved ones, and God rest the souls of those who were taken from us on that day. May all afflicted, by the pain and suffering this man caused, find peace and hope this upcoming Christmas.
This was one of the first trials I watched from start to finish on CourtTV! 🙌 I’ve never forgotten about it. Mr. Brooks made a mockery out of the whole legal proceeding and sadly, it made for good tv! 😩 I pray the victims are resting well and praying for healing to the families affected! 🙏
40:22 Jennifer Stover deserves a standing ovation for letting him have it and also standing up for the victims who suffered
Dorrow for SCOTUS!
Mr. Brooks says that he’s not an idiot , yet he has a fool for a client. 😢
All I can say is, after seeing that trial, Whoo hoo Lord have mercy!!! But anyway, I hope the victims, the injured, and the people of Waukesha can find some closure finally, and I'm praying for peace and comfort throughout the town❤️
Can not stand "him". 😡😡😡
Thats when you cant control your anger and 6 people had to die.
The worst part of it all is the bystanders allowed him to live.
Get it right it's his mommy's car that he lives in her driveway where he watches WWE on VHS with an extension cord
15:30 the look on that attorneys face like wow that nutcracker is going to "defend" himself? Lol
Him acting tough to the police in the courtroom shows how much of a punk coward he is knowing they couldn't hurt him..only tough when cameras are on and women dudes a punk fake dreads and all
Such a tragedy. There's simply no words to describe DB's behavior. During his interviews with the detectives, he consistently lied and tried to gaslight them. He was intolerable during victim impact statements. Edit: This vid is a good summation of this case.
That is the Judge’s courtroom. It’s not on you’re time when you want it’s when the judge wants when the judge wants. I’d never think about going in a courtroom as a defendant or not and even think about acting the was DARREL BROOKS did. The disrespect for the court and victims says a lot about what Erica Patterson went through.
🙋♀️ Congratulations on a job well-done pulling together this is amazing piece, somehow splicing it together in only a matter of 45 minutes. What a mind-bending job that must’ve been! Definitely a trial and defendant unlike any other in recent history.
*RIP to the six precious ones who lost their lives, and peace to all the surviving victims & their families.* 😢
This waste of space is probably one of the worst human beings on this planet. Glad this trial is over and he can rot in prison now
" It was a clown show for this Fool?" " He's just dirt under the rug now! ( RIP) to the victims and families to this awful crime? God Bless
it probably felt disgusting for everyone in that courtroom to have to listen to DB show such utter contempt for literally everyone: contempt for the judge, prosecution, witnesses, the jury, and most importantly, the victims and their families. Then if that weren't enough, listening to his mom argue mental illness and to portray DB as a "victim." Then listening to his grandmother tell the victim's families how they should feel. I can only imagine the silent teeth-gnashing as everyone fought the urge to personally throttle him.
And now he can watch the video of his trial for the rest of his life
The judge totally should've told Brooks to consult his "attorney" if he can't understand something. It was his own choice to have himself as his attorney so...🤷♂️
I’m still watching this trial after watching the entire thing, his antics seem to NEVER get old just as his actions are deplorable and unbelievable, I think that’s where I’m stuck with this whole case, he really thought he would get off with a lawless defense 🤦🏽♂️ RIP to those who lost their lives and my condolences to the families and victims 🙏🏾❤️
38:57 the thing that breaks my heart is older brother Tucker blamed himself for not doing more to protect his little brother Jackson Sparks
My worst nightmare is this happening to me due to a seizure (9 years seizure free). It’s why I refuse to drive despite being cleared by my doctor. I couldn’t live with myself if anything happened
Prayers for a fruitful life despite what you may face. Safe is way better than sorry.
I understand your decision because I have seizures myself and I keep them under control with medication. There have been a few times I have thought about getting a Life Alert system for when I am at home and (heaven forbid) have a seizure but I can't get to my cell phone to call 9-1-1.
