I feel it needs to be mentioned that the victims were mostly children in the school band and older women in the dancing grannies. This man is a monster.
You left out the ''white'' part. They weren't ''children'', they were ''white children.'' who he intentionally murdered, because they were white. The only part that needs mentioning is the racism part. Unless, you ignore racism when it's done to white people? because...you're a racist?..
@Wynn what? No? Wtf kind of logic is that? Guys can absolutely show empathy. And both men and women can show empathy, same with showing emotions. This man is likely a psychopath. Psychopaths show little to no empathy and can be really dangerous. _And_ it is something that can affect men and women.
I feel like there was also a sort of showcase from Dorow on what kind of person your typical abuser is like. Idk how Darrell did it, but every video I have seen of the man makes me thoroughly convinced that he is a sociopathic narcissistic piece of worthless shit, and I genuinely can’t believe a human can be this fucking delusional and insane.
Honestly, I was once a drug addict, and stole about 3k from my brother-in-law for drug money, and he pressed charges on me, I went to court, and after about 6 months in jail, I got out, went to sober living, and I never showed up for probation, or any court dates for about 2 and a half years, I finally turned my self in, scheduled a court date, and represented myself, brought proof of me going to inpatient rehab, once that was over, I move to a sober living house, after that I bought my own house, got promoted to manager at my work, bought a car. I represented myself, and brought all of my own facts, and the Judge literally dropped my charges, probation, and I got off scott-free. It can be beneficial if you have an IQ above 75 unlike Darrell Brooks LOL
I hope they sue MSNBC. The amount of hate that organization spewed saying the victims deserved it because they were white or tried to say this was racist to arrest the driver was absolutely disgusting
"Your Honor, the defendant has escaped." "Did anyone see where he went?" "No, but we have a witness claim they saw a large cardboard box shuffling along the floor in the lobby."
Note: during the victim impact statements - one of which was i believe a mother talking about her daughter’s permanent brain damage and will never walk again - he rolled his eyes. I envy who kills him in jail.
Bold of you to assume they'll kill him. The inmates will know who he is and what he has done, and they will make him *beg* for death like a fearful child. He will spend *years, likely decades* suffering. Then when they finally do kill him, his final moments will be in ungodly agony. Plus, this is all assuming he'll EVER be let out of solitary confinement for his own protection. He will either spend the rest of his life in a white box, or in constant fear of being beaten to a pulp in the middle of the night. I hope every inmate takes turns violently attacking him in every way possible, for years on end. Even then, his fate will be too good for him. He deserves no peace.
I remember how the prosecutor started to list the injuries her poor child suffered and Brooks just couldn’t keep his mouth shut, trying to object over and over again while the poor mother is crying Her children lived but they are permanently scarred both physically and mentally and this fucking monster keeps treating it like it’s no big deal
@@realcarlwinslow8779 don't bother reaplying to those types of comments. They're just bots and any attention is just a win for them. Just report and move on.
He was repeatedly yelling that nothing should be kept from the jury, that they should see and know everything. Then when the jury asked to see exhibits during deliberation he objected and said there’s no reason they need that information.
He also corrected the judge when she mentioned that he was reading a book, and it was actually a bible. He then proceeded to comment on how people these days don't follow the bible's teachings. Ironic and riveting.
reminds me of that guy who killed his wife/girlfriend and daughter and attempted to kill his son then represented himself in court and interrogated his own son while looking like Sideshow Bob smh
This happened way to close to home: A prosecutor for a molested child started giving details on how many times her father had messed with her. Up until this point her father had denied everything. Once the prosecutor started elaborate and exaggerated on how many times does father had committed this crime he stood up and interrupted and said "It wasn't THAT many times!!!" Well done prosecutor. Well done.
The fact that he tried for a mistrial is hilarious. He actually thought that acting like an idiot in front of Judge Steelballs was gonna rile her up. What a legend of a judge.
He probably misunderstood the concept of a mistrial and just assumed he could go for one if *any* person participating in the trial (including himself) did not behave according to protocol
I think people give the judge too much credit. She allowed her courtroom to become a circus. A judge is allowed to order that an unruly defendant be gagged so they can't speak or have outbursts like that and she should have ordered that after his first outburst.
He actually didn't think anything. There's nothing in his head. Just lots of pure anger and selfishness, like a toddler, except that this toddler killed people.
@@Commodore22345 She gave him a lot of rope. Now he has no leeway to claim any kind of mistrial and his appeals will probably get thrown out pretty quickly.
@@nanook6620 I've heard that excuse for why she let him have his little outbursts and I just don't buy it. Seems like people just don't want to criticize that judge. What she should have done was kicked him out of the courtroom and a court-appointed public defender should have continued his defense. There wouldn't have been a mistrial if she had done that and the only thing letting him carry on like that did was extend the length of this trial. It would have (and should have) been over in a day if she had maintained control of her courtroom.
During his closing argument, he said it was "gods will" that all those people got k*lled/injured. He said "my conscience is clear". He's truly a monster.
That's not a psychopath. That's, at closest relation to ASPD, very low-functioning sociopathy. But that's also very statistically unlikely (less than 1% of the population, and tendencies don't count unless over 80-90% of symptoms/traits are present). Might be schizotypal, possibly another cluster B like histrionic personality disorder or borderline, possibly. But a psychopath? Nah. Waaaay too dumb, unhinged, and quick to anger. Could even be a normal moron going off the deep end. Regular (or most other mentally people that go unmedicated) tend to snap much harder, and in this sort of dumb, spectacular fashion.
It's impossible to go for insanity while representing yourself, if you are sane enough to represent yourself, you won't get insanity. They'd just deem you incompetent and assign council if that were what he was trying to do
If anyone wanted to watch the whole trial but thinks court is super boring, I'd suggest checking out someone like Rekita Law or Emily D. Baker. They are lawyers who livestream, comment on, and explain noteworthy court cases.
@@elijahtinsley951 I feel like that didn't happen. That famous argument between judge and defendant that Rick and Morty did a reading of has that quote word for word, I'm pretty sure.
@@nrksbullet To put back how crazy this trial was, Brooks were full blown posing the Balotelli meme back in 2014 in front of the judge (albeit in the other room). He basically threwn his rights to be perceived innocent and thrown the doubts of the juries. Disagreement of stupidity had nothing compared to that jackassery.
@@elijahtinsley951 she was replying to the rest of his comment but the way it lines up (due to his interruptions) is exactly as the OP said and I laughed at it too
Yeah, the man keeps being belligerent and all in making himself into a loathsome clown but the judge managed to lay the law down without losing her cool.
This is how to deal with any overbearing person or Karen/Kevin or whatever. They try to play games with you and if you give in they win. Don't give them anything to work with, stay cool at all cost until the person gets bored and stops acting stupid when they see their tactic isn't working on you. "Argue with stupid and stupid wins with experience". Big applause to the judge for showing people how it's done! We could all need to learn this level of cool when we all inevitably encounter some wilding rage baiting animals in our daily lifes. Another tactic I've seen other than rage baiting, guilt baiting or sympathy baiting is the one where they try to wear their victim down by pestering them hoping that the victim will just give them what they want so that they will go away. It's a game of endurance and patience pretty much. Okay then cunt if you wanna waste my time I'm gonna waste your fucking time back!!! But I'm gonna do it respectfully with some hidden sarcasm just enough that they can't accuse you of being mean or anything! And eventually they will get bored and leave.
The judge was far too timid, i watched the entire trial, I watched every minute. She would repeatedly warn him and say its his last chance, but not follow through with her warnings. She didnt seem confident at times, and reexplained law to the record multiple times when shes not required to. In the end, it must have been a super hard case and as long as the end result is the same she will have done a good job. But judges must be confident with their rulings and not engage in arguing or explanations to the parties when they become abusive.
@@notatrollll but it was also explained in this same video that they were tip toeing carefully around him so as to not have him try for a Mistrail and claim Bias in the court. And that they'd rather try for a more lenient sentence when theres no cooperation from the defendant to once again, claim bias. If she got rhe job done and the outcome expected and deserved, I dont really have an issue how soft spoken the judge is or how many times they wanna repeat a warning, yknow?;
There is a not a single person on this planet I hold more hatred for than this man. I had an ex with PTSD after watching her brother get ran over by a car by accident. I cannot imagine putting a family through that on purpose. I remember the day it happened, I immediately texted her to avoid any and all news and social media for a solid week.
I have so much respect for the judge. People kept criticizing her throughout the trial for being too lenient, but she was doing everything within her power to protect the case.
People need to remember that judges and their families have been murdered by the psychotic criminals they put behind bars. His staredown is a threat and she knew it. She's not just a great judge, she's also brave as hell.
@@bradchambers5886 you really just said that on a video of a woman judge doing her job perfectly huh you should be mad at the lawmakers, not the judges who just go by the laws and heavily biased precedence from previous cases.
Kudos to all the families of the victims sitting in the court room keeping there cool while having to listen to that clown being disrespectful like he’s the actual victim.
@@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena If I'm not mistaken, Wisconsin doesn't have the death penalty. Prison is far worse than being put in an asylum. Especially for someone who murdered and maimed innocent elderly women and children. He'll probably spend most of his time in solitary for his own protection but in turn will be a living hell
@@Mr-Bogs if he's not put in solitary immediately genpop will ensure he's dead within the week. hell, Pedophiles are often killed within 2-3 days of being sent to prison.
@@Mr-Bogs It is not a living hell if he does not understand what is going on. And hell throwing someone on solitary for too long will actually get them sent to a asylum as they will go crazy from the lack of Human interaction if they were not to begin with. And this guy that represented himself in the trial just sounds crazy so he should be an experiment to reverse Psychosis or just gotten rid of as there is no point in keeping him in prison if it is just going to waste the tax payers money as he won't be a nice productive slave. And yes Prisons are just places for legal slaves as they are not about rehabilitation for the offenders as anyone that always gets out always goes back to the crimes they committed
I'm from Waukesha and know many people who've been affected by what he did. The judge was awesome. Darrell obviously has no remorse. He only feels sorry for himself because he'll never see life outside a prison again. Judge Dorow really deserves praise for how calm she was. She made absolute sure there were no loopholes he could squirm out of. He's pure evil, but at least he'll never see the light of day.
The judge was awesome in this. She bent over backwards and actually helped him in many cases. I remember watching court tv commentators ridicule her for letting him have so much lee-way. But in the end, that was the smartest thing she could do. This would ensure all appeals would be rejected.
Black lives matter. Poor guy getting jailed by white supremacists. We have to Pay for his bail. - this is unironically something a person wrote on the internet back when he got arrested. Like wtf is wrong with people.
We all need to make this method of handling what I'll refer to as "problem children" more appreciated and praised. Stay calm, avoid direct insults, but make it clear they're being a child.
Double Jeopardy means that he cannot be sentenced twice for same crime. There was a movie at 1999 with Ashley Judd with this title. Good movie about that law.
@@akac1 Yes, it falls under the fifth amendment (this is for the United States Constitution, i dont know if there’s similar amendments to constitutions of other countries). The original comment, your description of double jeopardy isn’t the fully correct one, but you are on the right track for sure. The fifth amendment protects so many rights. They include but are not limited to: Miranda rights are to be read which protect the right to not give answers/testimony that could be incriminating them (by them I mean the person being questioned), the right to legal counsel/representation, and it lays down the double jeopardy rule. Summed up, double jeopardy prohibits a defendant from being taken to trial more than once for the same charge(s) and for the same crime(s) they previously went to trial for, even if the defendant is acquitted or convicted. If the trial is deemed a mistrial, it is up to the District Judge and District Attorney OR the State court to determine whether the defendant is able to stand a new trial without being unconstitutional. I hope that made sense
as someone from Wisconsin I am so happy that this judge was chosen for this case. All he did was try and delay the trial and get out in some way. He showed zero remorse and made everything about himself and never apologized or showed any sorrow for the victims. This judge deserves a massive pay raise and a celebration for her conduct.
I often work in the building where the trial was held and it was constantly talked about in the office. It was surreal to have such a trial so close to where I was
@@Xenephos Thats how I felt about the Rittenhouse trial, I literally drove past the courthouse every day going to work. It's a small world after all lol
I was hoping for Borowski. Just imagine how fucking awesome that would've been. He doesn't take shit and would've stopped this fool the second word out.
What scares me is I've seen customers act like this at fast food, it's terrifying not knowing who's just gonna be an idiot or who's gonna explode on you because the ranch isn't free.

I worked at a certain ice-cream-broken restaurant once and on a closing shift there was this guy wearing a heavy vest just circling our place at midnight trying to peak into windows near midnight. He just stopped at each window he could see one of us at, and stared for a bit before continuing to circle to restaurant like he was a land shark. One of us called police and I left while the police officers were questioning him. I did not stick around to find out who the guy was.
@@camoking3609 used to work at a gas station that sold fried chicken and if I had people who had to wait and were nice about waiting, I would give them a fountain drink for free just for being understanding because it's what I was taught even though the store leader hated that. Needless to say, when I left. Things went downhill for that place. Everyone I knew quit. No regulars that I used to see all the time. And the store leader bailed because she wouldn't listen
Its funny you say that bc this whole trial I was shocked at how Brooks acts EXACTLY like a costumer I had an interaction with a few weeks ago. The mannerisms of speech, the superiority tone, the “smartest in the room” attitude, purposeful misunderstanding of things as a means of escalating them, the list goes on. Its crazy there are multiple people with this personality just out there casually living in society.
He isn’t trying to get her to snap back, he is trying to get her to do things like skipping “requests for jury instruction”. This is why he purposefully doesn’t answer for so long. He wants her to say something along the lines of “I’ll take that as a no” so that he can argue a mistrial.
@@charliewebb7812 hes facing a life sentence guaranteed so trying literally anything is preferable to the trial just going on cuz he knows hes going away forever.
I'm a nurse that cared for some of the victims that day at Waukesha Memorial, he still hasn't gotten what he deserved. It was the worst shift I've ever experienced, the visible emotional damage the families and victims faced was unbearable.
I can't even imagine, that guy would have gotten 30 (20 for legal reason) year here in canada for something like this, i've seen paedo do less than 2 year
I went to school in Waukesha, and knew people who were at that parade with their children. Glad he represented himself because my blood would boil listening to an attorney attempt to defend him.
@@megegg64 he didnt mention losing anyone, he said his mother was an officer at the parade. extremely clear differences how do you confuse that with someone dying?
@@loreoftheasian4104 ah, so its one of those where a few people unfortunately die and everyone gets on the sympathy bandwagon like they knew them? lets not pretend thats a common thing these days. i can bet those people who died wasn't even thought about by anyone besides their friends and family before they passed on, now suddenly they were everyones closest friends. sad really.
Reddit proceeded to defend him by stating it was "cruel and unusual" to play his music video in the trial. Some of those subreddits are worse than Twitter
There was a video of lawyers talking about how if you're guilty, you should shut the hell up until you get court representation. And if you're innocent you should REALLY get court representation.
The way that guy stares at the judge in the thumbnail looks EXACTLY like the look Will Smith gave Emma Thompson's character in Men in Black 3 when he's imitating how Kay is always serious. (When he's trying to get her to remember him before he realizes that time has been altered.)
You forgot the best part of the box fort situation. He only built the fort because he wanted to go back to his cell, in the middle of his own trial. Mommy judge told him NO, he has to stay present for court. So he made a box fort and screamed at the balifs (on mute) for about 20 minutes straight
The Sov Cit stuff goes pretty deep. I had a run-in recently with one, he told me he had satellite imagery and an ex-military team of goons at his disposal. He was a "Chief Justice" at one of their groups and the amount of quasi-legal stuff he was spitting was on a whole other level. What an experience, would recommend.
There's another fucked up trial I saw a few weeks back where some psychopath who stabbed his own family represented himself at his own trial and questioned his own son, one of his victims. He literally asked "How did I hurt you?" and his poor son just responded "You Stabbed me". *edit* and shit, Charlie mentioned it too. Kid got a good ending, he ended up getting adopted by one of the responding officers.
Now I'm no lawyer, but even I know that this man had to make every lawyer in the world feel a deep pain for how he failed at every single rule in the book
I'm a lawyer and it is craziness lol. There's a saying "a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client" that's 100 times worse when you're not a lawyer
Dude I was screaming when he was handing the prosecution an open door to rebuttal with character evidence of his sex offender status. Like he couldn’t never had that mentioned since they can’t use it as propensity. But he just is too stupid.
The judge couldn't effectively sanction him because he was already in jail and facing life. Rather than risk delaying the trial (which is what he was trying to do the entire time) or setting him up for an appeal (distant but theoretically possible) she let him get away with pretty much everything. She honestly could have done more which the prosecution nearly lost their cool over during the rap video fiasco. Either way, a bad man will never walk the streets again, so good judge.
I'm from Waukesha and lived there when it happened, the attack was about 3 min drive from my apartment. I watched every minute of this trial and let me say, the sentencing on Wednesday was beyond satisfying.
My favorite was him saying the perpetrator had hair and that he does not have hair. The prosecutor says 'yes, you shaved your head.' and he was just dumbstruck.
Two years later and as a Wisconsinite this is still fresh in my mind, I can remember watching the footage on the news while spending the week at my brother's for Thanksgiving.
The reason it's funny that he's yelling "I CAN HEAR YOU" is because he was pretending he couldn't hear her for hours and refusing to put on headphones. He was moved to another courtroom for being disruptive, so he's communicating with the judge via that computer.
Never forget, he didn't get Hate crime charges, Add it to the MANY reasons why whtesupremacists are rising. Look at covid in Oregon Priority access to non-whites.
The best part is the end where he says “I told you multiple times I don’t understand these proceedings at all” and the judge says “ok why did you waive your right to an attorney then??” And he tries to say he never did that as he’s been defending himself for weeks😂😂
Not only that but he was angry when he was told he would need to contact every witness he needs to call in and make a schedule and such. He said it was unfair. Dude watched Better Call Saul and thinks that all it takes to be a lawyer is just winging it. He also realized nobody was going to help him. The state did (like organizing the witnesses) but only because it benefited them as Darrell looked like an idiot trying to discredit witnesses that could not state every fucking detail of his eye color or some shit
The judge did not handle him like a professional. She did her best, yes. But she played into his games many, many times and stooped down to his level, she enabled his antics/shenanigans/behavior. She wasn't use to his behavior, nor knew how to handle him as she is most likely use to attorneys/lawyers.
@@CanadianTehGamer You’ve very clearly never dealt with people who behave like him. She never once “stooped to his level,” she treated him like the fragile child he is. Sometimes you let the kid scream to tire them out. You act like anyone would be able to get him to behave.
@@MsDnTa She did, multiple times, by responding to him and engaging in explaining her reasoning to him multiple times as well as giving him multiple chances after warning him he had once chance, does she lower herself to his level. There were several times she could have said it once, then moved on but she didn't, I will give her credit that on the conference scheduling she did exactly that, but that's not what we're talking about. Now you're just being factitious, when and where did I state that anyone would be able to get him to behave? When and where did I state she would have been able to get him to behave?
Huge props to this judge for her patience and civility ensuring there was NO risk of mistrial whatsoever. My only sadness is that all these people were injured and killed, and that this man is still breathing
With any luck, the prison guards will "forget" to isolate him for safety. Other prisoners despise anyone who hurts children. Hopefully the prison shank he gets stabbed with is especially dull.
@@clumpy9484 tbf, he's throwing more than proverbial mud. It's shit, and he thinks it doesn't stink because he doesn't believe that smells apply to him. This is what a sovereign citizen is. They are the antivaxxers of the law world.
*"You can't call god as a witnesses that's like summoning exodia."* Charlie needs to be the judge's lawyer and allow Charlie to make yugioh & gamer references.
I find it crazy that something like this happened in the town I live in. Just about everyone knows at least one person that was affected by this tragic event. Rest in peace to all of those affected.
You missed the funniest part of the trial: his repeated insistence on being able to confront the plaintiff, asking every witness or expert if they know the plaintiff or if the plaintiff has reached out to them. In a criminal trial, the plaintiff is the STATE OF WISCONSON.
Judges are either the calmest, most rational people in the room, or slap 23 years to a speeding ticket for saying "dude" as opposed to "my majesty your honor lord chad thundercock"
I went for a traffic ticket, the Judge lost her shit for disrespecting the courtroom because I was wearing dark glasses. If I was given a minute to explain, I would have told her royal ego that they are transition lenses, they take a few minutes to turn clear when you come into a shade
I love how Charlie deftly handles his chat's immaturity by acknowledging their childish comments about someone's appearance, and moving on. He missed the medical examiner's testimony, though. I watch a lot of trials, and I've never seen a Doctor cry on the stand, but tbf, I've never heard of such gruesome injuries as what 8-year-old Jackson Sparks suffered after being hit by Brooks. May he, and all of the victims, Rest.🙏💝
After hearing the testimony I can only imagine the physical damage done to that little boy's body. That would make even the most stone faced and mentally prepare medical examiner break down it's so truly heartbreaking that this incident happened to all the victims. My heart goes out to their families.
This is by no means the most gruesome case of herd or autopsy but this doesn't make it any less horrible. Espically knowing that the 8 year old boy most likely had a very horrible slow death. This is something many will be haunted by. This is lucky to be American cause if I could I would punish him with the same painful death of his victims
@@neutraliserjanine He didn't plot this out into a plea deal, tho. He was found guilty on all 76 counts and will spend the rest of his life in prison, his narcissism not withstanding.
I've been keeping up with this and believe me when I tell you that this judge deserves to be commended for her patience and i really hope she did not develop any substance dependencies from the stress of dealing with this cretin. I could see the words "I need a cigarette" in her face so many times.
I'm subbing because you are so damn hilarious and the fact that you share the truth 99.99% of the time you're probably the best RU-vidr I ever subscribed to
I love how he objects to everything and is immediately overruled constantly. I think I love the judge in the case. Amazing human being. Soooo glad you covered this case Charlie. Sooo much gold.
The first four or five days the judge would take his objections seriously and be very patient with him and listen to him and then explain the law to him, and then overrule him. But by the time the second week started, she knew every day that she was walking into this courtroom and that she would be dealing with 9 to 11 hours of the most stress inducing type of behavior from a person that, as far as she is concerned, is untouchable. Because she couldn't do certain things or make certain decisions on how to deal with him, because it might show bias, which gives him something to appeal. Eventually she would just completely stop answering him when he asked questions, even ones that a judge would normally answer. She was just done with it. And so he started insisting that the court make a record every single time.. he would say the same things that the court make a record that the judge is refusing, etc etc.
