Intro & Outro Music: DOLYJJVS2W8MGNFM
Me, me, me, me...... MY pain, MY healing, MY kids, MY family, MY feelings...... NEVER an apology, NO regret. BAD move and sickening too.
I was wondering if anybody has counted up every time he said 'I', 'me', 'my' in his closing. He does seem to be focusing on himself.
He loves to bring up his kids . He doesn’t even see any of his kids nor does he pay child support. He has an open case now for non payment of child support !
Hell yes, he goes from disrespectful, ignorant, angry, beliefs are stupid, and constantly interrupting, and shown no remorse or regret even watching the clips of what he did he never flinched or blinked with a reaction. Then he goes for his closing argument and we’re expected to believe your behaving, are sad, have regrets, taking the jury like your soft spoken without an anger problem. He plays it off like it’s hard to talk about and he is holding emotions in.
B S it was intentional
Why in the hell would he think anyone would want to nullify? He did his best to make sure he was hated by everyone in that courtroom
It’s laughable.
The only law they'd want to nullify would be the law of gravity so he could be sent to space without a suit.
Because they can ... thats a D.E.B.Junior logigal presumption, that, whover knows that he could (not "obey") so sure would ("not" obey) ... thats proove of the amount of destruction inside his frontal cortex which allows him to really believe in those delusions with all incapatancy and incapability for emotion or empathy ... this case was a great study of a narcasitic, antisocial psychopath that confronts and overwhelms the society of "normal, undamaged-brain people" ... without the bigger opportunities of those like him, born into wealth of a dynasty of sociopaths with some smartness and better probes to mimik their behaiviour from ... "we came, we saw, he died" (hillary) and millions since then more ...
Then he says “you have the power don’t let anyone talk it from you..make the right decision that you can live with” 😂 They did
Because it’s to benefit him. If you notice, that nullification clause is the only non-sovereign law that DB agrees with.
Remember the "Objection" sign he held up when he was muted? I truly wish each of the members of the jury could hold up a "Guilty" sign when they read the verdict.
G - U - I - L - T - Y ...shame on you. Now I have a vision of the foreman reading out the verdict with the rest of the jury standing up in a wave.
Sublime
That’s good, yes it would be funny
He stuck the sign down his pants lol
Yes! I agree! ”GUILTY!”
He said “A lot of people wouldn’t want to be a juror”. HELL I would VOLUNTEER to cast a vote on this one.
That's the thing that sucks. I think that the fact that I want to be a juror would make me a bad juror lol. Juries are so strange. "let's legally kidnap a bunch of people for a few days to a few weeks and then give them the power to decide the fate of someone." But there's not a better system that I've heard of.
But 100%, those 15 people, 12 jurors and 3 alternates, should be considered additional victims of DB. We all have the ability to walk away from this trial. They don't. The state legally kidnapped these people.
Sitting through it all though. / listening to him = Enough to turn a saint to crime.
@@tessajohnson8351agreed.
His “daughter’s letter” is as truthful as the fact that “his mom didn’t even own a car”
Or that his ex sent those photos to him.
Exactly. He said that he hadn't read the rest of the letter, and then he said what the next part of the letter said.
Or that he stated he didn’t read all of his daughters letter and then says when he got to the end of the letter his daughter said. That’s no dad I know.
He might have gotten away with that story if he hadn’t thrown in the 2nd part “That’s not the daddy I know.” No 7 or 8 year old talks like that. Throwing in the part about her learning cursive lended credibility, then he blew it.
She has seen him beat her mom multiple time
When he said his conscience is clear I was blown away 😔 Sickening as can be. I feel awful for the families hearing that. Also saying he won't see his new kid, he doesn't see his other kids so why would that be different. I truly hope justice is served in prison.
His conscience WAS clear...as clear as a radioactive toxic waste dump!
It's his grandson by his daughter with Erica not his son. He said son to get sympathy.
There was a young kid in my town who had a seizure while driving and during that event hit and killed a family in a mini van. 100% not his fault and that driver survived and is wrecked with guilt and probably will never be the same. So I would say even an innocent person that at no fault of their own caused a tragedy like this wouldn’t even have a clear conscience.
He has no conscience. That's the problem.
I couldn't imagine being this heartless. Not a single apology, not a single show of remorse. Instead he wants pity because HIS life has changed, HE had to suffer, HE gets called names. He really is despicable
And someone like him wouldn’t even realise how bad that all came across. He’s so wrapped up in himself and ‘his rights’. He makes me physically sick.
Are you taking about Darrel brooks or Kyle rittenhouse?
@@hoptoit5910 it’s amazing how he doesn’t have ONE redeeming quality.
I would love to see judges face
It was gross. If we felt it, the Jury did too 🌿
He was trying SO hard to cry. I actually think his sympathy act worked against him. It kept reminding the jury of his lack of sympathy for the victims and their families.
Society deserves to be protected from this man for a lifetime.
Fingers crossed for the verdict. Hopefully somebody will do something about protecting his children from him too.
Absolutely
for 6 lifetime
These types of people too. Example A of why I wanted to be a cop.
Absolutely 💯 agree!
"No one's heart is more in pieces than mine" I am amazed at how civil the victims in the courtroom have been. I would have lunged at him by now.
Oh I keep thinking the same, if this monster had killed my beloved son I fear I would end up in prison myself. This has to be sheer agony and torture for all the families, I cant even imagine.
@@Bebold94 you fear you’d end up in prison? I’d HAPPILY go to prison to kill this piece of shit if he killed my son
@@Bebold94Yes 💯 i just feel like if my son was taken from me, especially by someone who acted like this, i would be on a suicide mission to take him out.
I agree. The restraint they showed in order to avoid a mistrial is faultless.
He really is extremely self centered….no social connections whatsoever.
Today was his most disrespectful day so far. Being someone who unfortunately witnessed this incident first hand I thought there might be a point where he would show some empathy! I was very wrong!!
I am so sorry you had to go through that. Hope you are healing and find peace.
He did show empathy. It was just for himself sadly
We ALL hoped he would apologize and say he had deep remorse. Instead, he talked about his kids, his 7 yr old daughter, and how children grow up too fast - showing a complete disregard for the grieving parents, whose childrens' lives he robbed from them permanently.
He is oblivious and it leads me to think he's not capable of true empathy for anyone but himself. Very sad.
I love it when he wants a thanks from the judge when he doesn’t interrupt her. Awful.
It's sickening for me to watch his Antics and disgusting performance, my heart aches thinking of what you must be going through. I'm so sorry.
In front of judge: “who do you think you are? You can’t rule over me”
In front of jury: “Oh, woe is me. This incident was so hard for me.”
All of us: “You son of a…”
Well, every case from here on out will be a breeze for the judge. 😬
Stunning his lack of Accountability. He never said he's Sorry for what took place. Stunning
I couldn't believe it. He ranked his own suffering with theirs. I seriously think he can't comprehend anything that isn't about him.
Because he wasn’t
Exactly not one shred of remorse.
@@denicesherman9904 I doubt their was real tears either
Why would he apologize when all he needed to do was hit the brakes? This judge sucks!
This is maddening! My blood pressure is going up just watching this and I know the total outcome.
let's not forget: we won't agree to all of her decisions but the way the judge handled this case got us through!!
Thanks Peter for being live!! 👍
Well said and agreed!
Yeah by letting him walk all over her and make a mockery of the court. I bet if there was a better judge it wouldn’t even have gotten that bad. He was constantly pushing and seeing what he could get away with and she let him. I feel bad for the victims having to watch that circus
Agreed! She did a tremendous job 👏
@@edsherwood2173 I understand your take, because this is extra hurtful for the families. But she's doing this to close this case in a way that his inevitable appeal will have minimal chance to succeed.
@@edsherwood2173 I get your point! But if he could get an appeal the victims and their families would have to go through that all again. So I think this case can be closed after verdict and sentencing..
The fact there are people like this in this world really scares me
Read M SCOTT PECK’S BOOK. “ PEOPLE OF THE LIE. “
NO SHAME. NO SHAME. NO SHAME. VERY SAD.
Funny how he's repeatedly said he couldn't hear what the judge was saying in the 2nd courtroom, unless he was wearing headphones. During the judge explaining how many cameras were in each courtroom, he was standing at the table with no headphones on, and he turned around and indicated with his hand that he was counting the cameras. IT'S A MIRACLE....apparently he can hear clearly!
Yesp, I caught that too
Oh and I don’t ever want to hear the phrase “would that be fair to say” ever again. He used it probably more than 1000 times maybe more and I have become annoyed beyond belief
If he were truly unable to hear what was happening in the other courtroom he would have not taken the headphones for even 10 seconds. He made it very clear how important it was that he know 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 that was said by the judge and the prosecutors. He heard every word she said.
No seven year old says “ Dad why are people saying these things about you? That’s not the Dad I know.” it’s not believable.
Remember, this child lives with her mother in another State. Probably unaware that any trial is even going on and certainly not the conversation on the playground…
That's what I was saying! I bet she doesn't even know him, and this would be a terrible way to introduce him to her.
Let's not forget two things: one witness said when DB looked out the window, he looked "excited;" and TWO witnesses used the same phrase to describe seeing DB's face, "It was like he was looking through me."
As Law n lumber noted in his opening statement, and it's repeated here, his tears and emotion occur because he's realising the jury isn't buying his crap.
I actually DIDNT see a single tear...
It absolutely blows my mind how he can even pretend (which I know he's not) that he's anywhere near equal to this judge. The entitlement is no joke with this one.
Dunning-Kruger in full effect.
Often seen done by pos
Clearly, he is mentally challenged.
The really crazy thing about Darrell Brooks is that he seems to imagine that he and the judge are on some type of equal footing. The narcissism is just dripping from him. No respect for the judge or the court and obviously thinks very highly of himself. Ugh! He actually said the words, "I let you," to the judge. Unbelievable.
Interesting that you mentioned that because I felt he kept contradicting himself.
For example he chose to represent himself but when the process started he mentioned he wasn’t a licensed attorney and tried to argue that he only had three days to prepare. However once the judge made a ruling on something that he didn’t agree to, he all of a sudden has this overwhelming desire to confront her on her ruling.
So how is it that he kept saying over and over I don’t understand….. I don’t understand and yet supposedly felt he knows more about the law than she does
@@rickyashworth6950 personality disorder. His Mom claims there's some bipolar stuff going on, too. Which could explain the changeability I guess.
Yes!!!! Every time he said that, I couldn’t believe it.
He even acts flirty with her. Like that one exchange where he was all "subject matter jurisdiction?" like they were pals and that's a thing they like to argue about casually every now and then. He's so disgusting
It's truly sickening
Every time he peddles for sympathy I feel for the real victims in this case
it's all about him
Me too!
Not once did he apologize. Even in his closing he spoke about him, his mom, his kids. Then spoke about living a god-fearing life, yet, he has hit a woman and was committing more felonies on top of what he already had. He is def a menace to society. People like this should not be roaming the streets. Just my humble opinion; Maybe a little bias when it comes to criminals of this degree.
I looked at him while the state was showing hit and run videos and there was pure serenity in his eyes.
The victims, the court, the prosecution, the community...his victims and those he continues to victimize during the trial. He's attitude is so unbelievably manipulative, even without Ford Escape, he still is doing damage.
The prosecutor was fine with DB talking about jury nullification and then being instructed to disregard it because no juror in Waukesha county is going to nullify a law that says you can’t kill people at a Christmas with your mom’s car because you had a fight with your girlfriend and you’re mad.
😂 such a horrible situation but your comment made me laugh
That's what I didn't get about all the jury nullification blown- out discussion is that Darrell Brooks never specified exactly what laws he wanted the jury to nullify.
@@LisaSimpsonRules I *think* his master plan was to challenge subject matter jurisdiction and have the jury be impressed by his big brain argument and agree that Waukesha County had no authority to hold him accountable.
It’s just amazing how quickly people in jail and prison suddenly find Jesus and are worried about their kids 🙄
The cheek of this man is enormous. What a pig.
Christians make up 99% of prison. Chapel in every one. Glad I'm apatheist.
I know right. Didn't give a fuck about either until it was all taken from them.
Does he believe Jesus was okay with him shooting at his nephew that July(first bail ) or when he ran over Erika just a couple of weeks before the parade(second bail) then tried to chase her down while she’s in a walking boot (soft cast)? The day of the parade he was threatening Erika for money . He said it was HER FAULT that he was arrested for running her over with his car , therefore she needed to repay the bail money. Is Jesus okay with any of that?
This is exactly like the lame crocodile teared apology he gave to the judge after she had ruled in his favor on a couple of issues. He tried to placate his behavior in court and his arguments with the judge by telling her that he wasn’t brought up this way. That he was frustrated and upset about all that has happened. Well guess what? The very next day…… that apology went right out the window as he continued to interrupt, complain, raise his voice, talk over the judge, not listening to what the judge was telling him, disrespecting the judge, the prosecution and anyone who said something about his actions.
So you say your mother didn’t raise you this way…..right? Therefore you have clearly indicated that you never listened to your mother. No you were not brought up that way….you just decided to live this way no matter what mama told you.
Does he really think, "this jury loves me! If I just show them a loophole..I am home free?" The more he argues, the more he reveals the worst of himself. She absolutely does not want to put the victims through this cruel lunacy again.
Everyone is so severe with the Judge, yet she made this day possible and allowed a very rocky trial to make it to the end! Which was not a given when this trial began!
And she has protected the whole trial and possible judgement against mistrial and appeal, the Record is impeccable; she's been absolutely stellar ✨✨✨
Your wrong! Shut him up! Put him in the other room!! PLEASE Close this case!!
Your such a liar!!! Not true he’s lying they didn’t recall this Ford!!
Yes, I get that she tried to be fair to DB because he had no lawyer, but was she fair to victims, too? They had to listen this day after day after day.
She gave him warning after warning without action, and DB noticed it, and DB walked over judge several times, daily. Why is she letting him run the show? DB has right to lawyer but he deciced that he doesn't need one. So that is not excuse to let him act how he wants to.
@@marjuska9833everything u said is facts ‼️ I said during this whole trial, who does he think he is ‼️, he ran all over her ‼️ and she helped him ‼️
@marjuska9833 That's literally just the nature of criminal trials. People who were affected have to stand by and have their experience questioned or testify and be questioned directly as to what happened. This judge made sure that they wouldn't have to do it more than once.
I am a retired U.S. Navy Master Chief. We sometimes get somebody like Brooks reporting aboard. We have some very effective ways of dealing with them. We senior guys don't often lose the war with them, but if we can't deal with them, we give them the boot, with a bad discharge to carry around with them to job interviews the rest of their lives. And those are the guys who explain their failure to get an Honorable Discharge by saying, "Yeah, I punched my captain in the mouth when he told me to do something I didn't want to do, so they kicked me out." He feels very small, but has to say something to make him feel like a big man. He is a failure.
I'm very glad to hear this. And thank you and bless you for your service ❤🇺🇸
The judge and her husband need 2 months at the spa, no cell phones, no documents, no computers--just her team, Madam Clerk, and I think the state's attorneys; and the rest of the gang should get away for at least a month. They all deserve a rest after such a trying trial. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victim's families and the injured parties.
Watching Darrell Brooks has brought back memories of the worst of the argumentative children I had to deal with for many years as a relieving (sub) teacher.
Never in my life have I seen such a textbook case of malignant narcissism as I just witnessed. Never, not once.
I'm glad for you, truly I am. I can't count how many times I've been told I am a "public servant". Just once I actually told somebody that I was providing a service, not their servant.
He checks every box.
And HPD...you see the drama, right?
He is narcissistic however...I believe his true diagnosis is Antisocial Personality Disorder use to be called Sociopath.
Honestly his case might be the one that will enter to a cited case with sovereign citizens. I love how he said "the prosecution keeps saying the same thing over and over" and all I've heard is about 10 bullet points he makes lol. For 15 days! 10 of the same bullet points 🤬🤬
It’s the “keeps going” that really hammers it home for me. He never stopped
Brooks was the best lawyer for the prosecution .... He did their job for them! Nice work Darryl, wow you really are good!
Brooks has a complete disregard for anyone other than himself. In his closing..."I have no regrets, and My conscience is clear. REALLY???
Never once did he show an ounce of remorse.
Having previously been married to someone who has a lot of the same traits and uses a lot of the same tactics when arguing, I can say from experience that it’s significantly more difficult when you are the one engaged with them versus being a third party to the argument. The frustration and exasperation the judge is clearly feeling impede the ability to come up with the responses like what Peter and the chat are offering, and it can be very difficult to disengage. So while it’s frustrating to watch as she continues to engage with him, keep in mind that it’s easier for us as outsiders. I actually use that as a mitigating strategy when dealing with my ex, engaging a third party who can help with forming logical responses vs emotionally based ones, and recognizing when to disengage.
Well said. It really is exhausting and can leave one feeling idiotic in hindsight for getting so wound up with petty things and responding with emotion.
Well done getting out and having a strategy in place! Neither of those things are easy with someone like this, and the effects last a long time too. ❤🍍
I don’t even have words for this man!! He has made me feel an anger that I’ve never felt in my ENTIRE life !! I don’t even know him, nor was my family hurt by him. I can not even begin to imagine the emotions/feelings/anger that he makes the people that was directly impacted by this man !!! Wow! That’s about the only word that can sum up what I feel !
He's very triggering to say the least. :)
Wish the judge and prosecutors would have driven home how he’s been acting instead and called him out during closing
I’ve never been much of a yeller-at-screens… but this one took me to new places in that regard 😅 😠 He’s so GD annoying! On top of you know… being a full-blast psycho killer.
How the families were able to hold their tongue and not scream out at him
No respect for the dead and injured and its all about himself and talking about cutting the umbilical cord on his own child
Doubt he really cares for his children or the mothers or his own mom never mind anyone else
Appalling behaviour IMO
I feel your pain. This guy is the limit.
Judge Dorow should recognize and appreciate that DB “let her” make a statement. He’s being very generous to her. 🙄
This is why I watch you Peter because you break it down from a Legal stand point. You are being unbiased and giving your opinion as if you were the jury.
I like the prosecution’s point about the horn and by honking the horn shows he knew people were in his way
He’s insufferable and his day is coming soon 👏🏻 thanks for streaming it, perfect amount of commentary and explanations!
Insufferable is the word.
I hope the appeals court hears this case and states that a person can lose their right to examine, cross examine, testify, make closing arguments, and being present in the courtroom if they interrupt the judge after being warned. That would make it easier in the future.
Shew he made my blood boil today. The woe is me act was ridiculous and I bet these jurors are just shaking their heads. I would love to see their reactions.
I had to laugh when he asked the jury to do the right thing. Oh, dude, they will. You won't like it. But they will.
I don’t quite know why, but whenever I fall asleep with my earbuds in, I get Brooks trial. I was surprised and happy to wake up today with LYK. Can we believe this was only 7 months ago?! Thanks for your channel Peter - you just keep getting better!
“No one’s heart is in more pieces than mine.” Darrell Brooks cannot claim that whatsoever!
Objection. Facts not in evidence.
Thankyou for streaming this I'm in Australia but I have been following this horrific act he did . I hope he gets life without parole . Your channel is amazing thanks for the great work much appreciated. 😊
THANK YOU PETER!!!! Can’t watch him by myself- he makes me nuts!! I don’t like yelling at my phone 😊
I was yelling so loud it scared my dog. That’s when I knew I had to shut it off and take her out and clear my head. I can’t *imagine* the victims and their families listening to this if that’s how enraged I was as just a trial spectator.
I feel like I am living alone most the time, then my 40 yr old son pops in cracking up laughing then yelling at my phone all the ways Brooks is SO WRONG! My son is my caregiver, though he does play video games!Lol Only now a days he often is doing a job before I even ask! Outdoor chores mainly! 😂🤣😂
@@Ashley__Rose It's surprising that the spectators are so quiet.
@@Ashley__Rose Me too! My poor little dogs acted like they didn’t know what to do…..lol! Of course, they have more humanity than the creature we know as Darrell Brooks…….OBJECTION!!! And how does a “sovereign citizen” scream for his constitutional rights??? He’s a murderer AND a hypocrite.
The DA is clever she got DB to admit to all his charges by making a mistake. I bet she did it on purpose, perhaps that's one reason the judge had such a huge smile!
I hope we get to hear from at least a couple of the jurors afterwards. I'd love to know what they thought about his defense and his closing.
If I was a juror I would say no comment p, otherwise they may be hounded!
In my opinion…If someone doesn’t want to follow the “Laws of the Land.” Or if they think the laws do not apply to them…Then they automatically waive their constitutional rights as well!
Great insights Peter. Thanks! If I were a juror I would not be able to hide the look of disgust on my face watching that self centered closing statement.
This is nauseating! The nerve he has asking for sympathy from this jury, and in front of the families. I can't wait to see how long it takes for the verdict!
I have learned an unbelievable amount from watching your awesome channel. Combined with access to extra lectures online from Harvard Law School, I’m doing a great deal better in my Criminology studies here in Melbourne. I’m not sure if I would have gone back to Uni had I not found your channel & the other “law-tubes” so interesting. Yours is the best! Thank you! -Melbourne Replay Crew, Australia 🇦🇺 👌🏻❤
Congratulations on returning to school. So awesome!
Oh, and many congratulations about the school motivation. Great story to share.
Oh, and my infinitely-missed mum was from Melbourne. I have spent a good amount of time in your beautiful lands, all between Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and up to cousins in GinGin (right outside Bundaberg). I love your beautiful country, and its people are so lovely. Must get back there soon.
Cheers!
He really acts like he’s accused of something that he didn’t do.
I can imagine how much his mother was put through when he was a kid. He can’t stop arguing no matter what. He also cannot shut up.
As a child she most likely “allowed” him to fuss and argue like that. I let mine speak initial grievances; the second time, they got “the look”. It usually stopped there. 😏🤭
He is such a 🤡. No way in Hades this jury would nullify on his behalf anyway!
if one was ever going to hit/ run over a person, one would swerve to not hit a person and instead hit a tree or a house or anything other than a person. He chose not too and he chose to run over people. He could have chosen differently but he did not.

He is so adamant about the jury “having a right to know “but yet he doesn’t want them to know about that other stuff does he? So which is it? Do they have a right to know or not?
According to db the jury should only know what he wants them to know. He wants the jury to hear his lies and unlawful sovereign citizen ideology.
I laughed out loud when you were “talking” DB and you said don’t interrupt me 😂 I think the DA is coming to a compromise on DB to speak his closing arguments so the jury can see his true colors and complete disrespect for the court
I think she thought long and hard about how to give just enough to satisfy him without setting a precedent of allowing this in future in their other cases.
The fact is it’s mostly on principle that this lawyers and judge are so upset about nullification being mentioned. This is not actually the case where it will likely be an issue. This isn’t a petty charge or a sympathetic defendant or a death penalty.
I think the DA knows that a pro se defendant getting up and asking a jury to let him off for murder and hitting 60+ people has 0 chances of working. Particularly when he didn’t testify and had literally no one testify to his good character or stand up for him. And his behaviour in front of the jury had definite flashes of rage even if it was way worse out of their presence. All those times that he sat and glared death at the judge for ruling against him. The aggression towards some of the witnesses particularly the last one in his case where he was admonished for badgering.
@@sallycinnamon5370 agreed
6 full life sentences + over 200 years. I know I’ll cry again with relief when I watch the replay.
Tool. He's got nerve implying the state used theatrics as he's taking long dramatic pauses while trying to manipulate the jurors emotions. The state should've objected at multiple points
bloke's an idiot. man who represents himself has a freak for a customer 😷
It still blows my mind that he seemed to think the jury was just looking for a loophole to find him not guilty by ignoring the law. If anything, they probably wanted to nullify the removal of the death penalty in Wisconsin.
What also blows mine is how he has not shown any remorse or regret, is combative and argues over and over the same stuff. He doesn’t shed a tear up until sentencing.
He watched the clips of his crime running people over and just kept going and he….. did not even blink or change his facial expressions and had no reaction at all and no remorse. He just sits there watching and not once did he look as if he saw an outside view of this
So I was really curious to hear your take on the prosecution chiming in on "how to proceed" with DB stating he was going to nullify the jury. Maybe I missed it but I think they were being strategic in that the Prosecution wanted the FINAL word and thus they were going to play along at that point to ensure, they got the last word. With respect to the Judge...I think she has done a great job, but at this point, I think her resolve is very thin - she's exhausted, she's triggered (I think) and he's gotten in her head and "frankly" it's f-ing CREEPY. You can see from her body language towards the end of ALL the proceedings today, that she wants to get as far away from him as she can. I think perhaps she's done and she's trying her best to not ever have to deal with him again in the future.
Better example of the difference between a right and a power: Darrell Brooks had the power to drive his vehicle through the parade, hitting people. He didn't have that right.
I can't wait until the conviction and hear the Judge go off on him without worrying about mistrial.
Already loading the fridge 🙃
Couldn’t agree more
Hes definitely right about the jury not having all the facts. And he should be thankful that that's the case
So nice of him to let her add to the record.
Clearly she had her reasons not to get into it - but I wished, just once, she looked him right in the eye and said "sit the f*&# down; I make the rules in this courtroom and I can have one of my bailiffs educate you on your rights"
It’s BANANAS that he thinks he can keep telling her what he’s been “letting” her do! Ugh 😑
@@siobhansignet5256 sit down Napoleon...this is your Waterloo.

He has no clue what she's talking about. I hope the judge goes on a wonderful vacation somewhere after this. Thanks for your coverage Peter!! I'm going to cover this case on my true crime podcast and I'll recommend you to my listeners!
I watched this live in 2022. I loved the way that you broke down some other trials so I went back to watch you brake down this I'm watching you in 2024 and he still pisses me off even tho I know the outcome 😢😢
Say “brake” on purpose? 😮
Impressed by the composure of the judge - a hot headed judge would never survive this test
Love what you do! Thanks for taking the time to follow this unbelievably frustrating trial with us.
He showed his rage every single day out of the eyes of the jury.
Lol yeah then he comes back and sits there like he didn't just throw a fit that would surely turn violent if he wasn't surrounded by armed officers.
This is what the justice system has become. Entire court room walking on eggshells for fear that a man who killed 6 people and injured 61 others will walk free. A man who murdered 6 people is allowed to run the trial.
“I’m not gonna argue the facts” then proceeds to argue the facts about the condition of the SUV.
Can he win on that as doubt
@@annmariedemaio1119 _no the state trooper mechanic went over the entire vehicle addressed all his claims in written report and testimony ._
First of all that vehicle Vin was not on recall, second of all there was nothing wrong mechanically with the vehicle at all with the throttle control, steering, the brakes or the transmission it all worked perfectly. *Video and witness testimony shows he steered around the parade vehicles he hit the brakes, at least once clearly the vehicle was under his control.*
Also, reportedly if the throttle control had a problem with the vehicle stalled, it didn’t accelerate.
Honestly if I was a juror and they got up and said ‘I’m not gonna argue facts’ when the facts the state has presented are that they killed someone id take that as an admission personally
Finally got
to watch this … wow! Just .. wow.. the judge has a rare patience that is impressive !
I learned so much , thank you 🙏 … His life has taken a turn similarly to a FATAL DUI , one day your choices and or attitude changes life forever. No sympathy and it’s disgusting he asked for any of it .
On the throttle issue, I’m gonna go a little Cousin Vinny and point out the obvious .. if the throttle body was stuck or whatever , show me the skid marks where he stood on that brake and tried to stop with all his might or even turn AWAY from the people.
He’s trying to get his way with this court just like he did that day with his car. Selfish
His “tears” seemed to have dried up once the jury went out.
to tell a room full of lawyers what the law is like jumping of a bridge to show birds how to fly.
So, lemme get this straight: his argument is "God did it." TBH I didn't see that one coming.
And Da-Rell has the burden of being chosen by God for this Evil Deed. It's vomitous.
@@windycityliz7711 yeah im sure arguing that its God's will that he maim and kill 70 people will go over well with the Christians on the jury. Good going Dur-EL
Once he used his mom who is under a protective order from him and his kids who he went to jail for for failure to pay child support, I wasn’t surprised
Wow... that was not on my bingo card either. Unreal!
I got that DB said God would want the jury to forgive him. He might have to revisit that.
ALL his delays are for him to be out of his prison cell for a longer amount of time.
I have to say this is the best stream for legal matters. No bs or cutesy crap. My kinda channel
Yes! ...also no drama!
And Peter is just so affable and fair! He never seems mean or snarky, just genuine and a good teacher 😊
And no public, side-taking disagreements. What's up with the drinking? I find it strange, as well as discouraging, the normalization of talking about being drunk, always drinking together... feels like a frat house.
I am happy I came here (have only been here for Brooks' case). He runs a lovely presentation. Cheers.
@@thegroovyhead agreed, other creators do these antics for super chats. It's embarrassing and I wonder do they have self pride? imo
"Drives through The Dancing Grannies" gotta be one of the worst sentences ever uttered in history.
I just read a comment that DB is despicable. Despicable is a really good description. He is definitely deserving of hate. He had an opportunity to maybe get life with the possibility of parole. There was a decent argument to be made against intent. But after his actions and words in this trial he has buried himself so deep they will throw the book at him. I've never had a defendant affect me like this. I imagine some if not all of the jurors would have similar feelings. Thanks so much for covering this trial. I love hearing your take and everyone's comments. Yall are such an intelligent kind community.
Great example Peter about the jury not knowing his previous bad behaviours - as a similarity to the power of jury nullification.
I thought the same thing as you re intent but then looked up the statute for first degree intentional murder - intent can mean he knew or should have known his action could result in the death. So, all the people in the road, the cops, the barricades, do go toward that definition of "intent"
I agree
Yes... that was interesting to know.
Exactly
Exactly, we all drive a possible weapon when we get behind a wheel. This man used his to kill and injure so many. Not stopping and continuing to mow down people is intentional IMO
I watched live yesterday. Watching again today simply for your comments and Law Class 101! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
This is the elected District Attorney speaking. She did a great job.
The only tears he sheds are for himself. His closing was about him and his family, not the victims. The jury will not feel sorry for him because of what they saw on the videos.
I actually feel sorry for the jury.
Especially because they do not know as much as we do about his background
@@Watchingvids01 reckon they can see through the bs & the 😷
Towards the end of his closing argument they were probably all uncomfortably shifting in their chairs. Overcome by the disgusting lack of accountability.
Why exactly? Do you think this case is one of a more difficult verdict to be decided, as if 50/50 equality proven? I, myself think this is an easy one...no sympathy to cloud one's judgement here. Quite the opposite based on his flagrant lack of remorse and blatant arrogance throughout.
That is why when I got on a panel. I told the judge or lawyers I cannot be picked. I was a survivor and I cannot be partial. That guy needs his nut clipped or penis cut off hand cut off. He sexually ruined a 2 year old where it tore her rectum. The child got place in foster care and a coworker had her. He was found guilty. The mother got placed in jail also
What’s “mind boggling” is that Darrell would even for a second think any jury anywhere on the face of this planet today or in the past or the future would entertain nullifying him he’s seriously delusional lol 😂 Nobody likes you Darrell. His family doesn’t even like him. They feel relieved that he’s gone for 6,000 years. He tried to guilt the jury into nullifying him. Manipulation. Didn’t work this time. And he can’t stand it.
he is basically saying i have no remorse for anyone but myself
Why the hell would the jury nullify??? Because DB is so irresistible and charming?? 😂😂😂
He only feels sorry for himself. No conscience at all.
Just watching this now. The families in the gallery are better people than I am. I honestly don't know how they didn't just clear the partition & end him.
Brooks "Have a heart, I got 3 kids, one I haven't seen yet"
Me "Did you have a heart when you ran over woman, children and elderly people as they roll on top of your hood?"
Just once I wanted someone to hold him to task instead of Walking on eggshells with him
I think you are the most honorable and talented lawyer I’ve ever seen. Your ethics are unmatched, IMO. It gives me the only faith in the justice system that I have left.
"I choose to speak from the heart". What heart?
His conscience is clear, words fail me, he is beneath contempt.
Suddenly all viewers become lawyers and criticized the judge. She is doing a great job so he won't appeal.
The lengthy exchange between the judge and defendent could be used by the CIA as part of their torture programme.
