Real Lawyer Reacts: Darrell Brooks Update: Sentencing On One Case, Trial On Another 

That black eye was the best part of the entire hearing. Somebody got him good. Wish we knew who it was. He deserves some extra commissary.

Lol he's doing the "charmer" act. He does that until it doesn't work and then becomes the narcissistic abuser we've all seen before

To the tune of 'Do you want to build a snowman': 🎵Do you wanna build a box fort? Ask the judge for lawful law? Say Subject matter jurisdiction? A million times, and claim some legal flaw? I used to be a rapper, In my own head, I used to be Mathboi Fly, Do you want to build a box fort?😂🎵

Rehabilitated? Yeah, I think not. Either he is holding out false hope that the Waukesha trial will be overturned on appeal or some other inmates "showed him" he's not as badass as he thinks he is. Personally I'm leaning toward the latter.

DB was assaulted at the Milwaukee jail and did not want to be kept there for the duration of the trial for fear of being assaulted again. You can see his black eye when he turns towards camera.

He was denied self representation after he fired his last lawyers. He was fully ready for a jury trial at Friday’s pre-trial hearing. I’m guessing that black eye encouraged him not to extend his stay at the local jail any longer.

And I still have ptsd from watching that trial.

Oh how we have missed "subject matter jurisdiction"

" I don't know if he is medicated: 😂😂😂 you're funny, Peter

Daryl Brooks got me hooked on watching Court live streams

#PSA# For anyone who finds that they need the videos slowed down a bit... If you need to slow down the video that Peter has sped up, follow this: -Hit the cog in the top right corner of the screen -Choose "playback speed" -Change it from "normal" to the "0.75x" -Now the sped up video will play in "normal" speed for you. -When Peter talks it will be a bit slower but the video will be perfect. Hope this helps everyone enjoy Peter's content to the fullest. ❤

The black eye tells why he doesn’t want to be held in that local jail… in my opinion.

I think he was afraid of being housed in Milwaukee jail for a trial… he wanted to get back to prison

Peter, you are a total rockstar for covering all of these cases and trials! 💞 Thank you for keeping us updated on the DB saga.

He is never getting out of prison

As soon as Brooks arrived there, they showed him they would not put up with any of his crap. That is why he's not acting out.

His attorney looks like let's just get this sh@$ show over with. I got real cases to handle 😮😅😅😅😊

if he needs to serve 7 life sentences whats the point in giving him 10 years or parole? The fact that he's allowedf to live and waste resources is the real crime.

He is enjoying the field trip out of prison for the day.

Peter you truly are a good person. You always strive to hope/see the possibility of good in people. Even monsters like these. I wish I could have that mentality. I am too jaded though lol

Who is this guy??? Look a like, what? I watched that trial every day. Ruined my every day and yet continued to watch it. This man was absolutely out of his mind nuts. Says a lot about me right? lol I guess I’m attempting to express how shocked I am right now. WOW Peter. Thank you

He’s only laughing and trying to flirt with the judge just to see if she will acknowledge him in any way because he’s always trying to get attention from women. Now he can’t hurt any of try to manipulate any sort of here’s his only chance.

I think for the Waukesha parade case, he knew he was going down no matter what any attorney that represented him tried to do and he thought fuck it i am just going to fuck with others. He is a self centered person and believes in his own self importance.

Let's hope that this is the last time DB is reported on. Let him rot in jail in silence.

I am shocked he is pleading no contest!! I thought sure he would want to see Erika Patterson again and put her through another trial.

Don't fall for the narcissist's game! He's acting different most likely because he didn't like how he was portrayed last time. Could be just to throw us off but most likely portrayal.

IMO the reason Darrell Brooks took a plea is cause he wants away from there. He got there Fruday, since friday he received a black eye! Its in the left

Other you tubers who follow Brooks court appearances noted that he had a black eye and one side of his face was swollen. He didn’t want to go back to Milwaukee jail. He wanted to return to the Wisconsin prison. Some believe that he was attacked in Milwaukee and his attorney met with him that Saturday before court Monday.

Hey Peter you’re always thanking us for all we do, I would like to thank you for all that you do

FYI, Brooks actually _could_ keep his attorneys in the last trial; it wasn't like Sarah Boone. He purposely _chose_ to represent himself, after his attorneys had done all the prep work for him... probably because it allowed him kind of a last hurrah. This was indeed a very surprising development. DB isn't allowed to have any contact with EP (that's one of the sentencing rules Judge Dorow gave), and in the last trial, he took great, visible joy in anticipating being able to confront EP. He's still laying on the charm with the judge in this hearing, so I don't think it's that he somehow changed his entire personality in the last year. There are two running theories that I've seen: Theory #1: He found out that if he took this to trial, the State was going to call his mother to the stand, and she'd get in trouble, and he's trying to avoid that (note: I don't have any actual knowledge of the State's planned witness list, one way or the other). Theory #2: The plea deal is related to the black eye he's sporting in this video (LYK cuts the video before the part where we get a good view of the shiner on his left eye). He did act very relieved when the judge said he'd be going back to the max-security prison he'd been in, instead of the county jail that he was in while awaiting the hearing (THAT, actually, is what he seems to have been laughing about... he seemed relieved he wouldn't be going back to that jail). Neither of those two theories seem quite right to me, just because... this was going to be his last opportunity to make EP's life a living hell, which is something he's shown himself to be very keen on doing in the past. I suppose of the two theories, #1 makes more sense (he may actually care about his mother). #2, at least by itself... it seems like being able to confront EP would be worth getting beaten up. Though maybe it's a bit more serious than that? There's also Theory #3: He purposely got himself beaten up in order to create apparent grounds for appeal. Is this a thing? Would that work?

I want Judge Judy to be in charge of his cases!

Don't be deceived by Brookes demeanour . He knows what hes doing. Don't forget he is APPEALING his previous convictions !!!!!!! This guilty plea & sentencing is a blimp on his vision. He is focussed on his APPEAL.

He’s been I. A wheelchair since his very first appearance in this courthouse. I heard his first appearance he would not come out and judge was pissed. His bad boy chair

the money multiple states have wasted on this criminal, unbelievable

I’ve heard someone say that because narcissists lack empathy, they assume that what they say is believed by others without thought. I feel he underestimated the jury. I thinks he learned a huge lesson that the tactics that worked for him for so many years didn’t this time.

The fact that he is holding it together so well shows me it really is just all personality disorder. People were throwing out all sorts of psych diagnoses…but he can play nice when he wants to. What we saw was him with him back against a wall and him freaking out. This is the day-to-day Brooks until you get in his way or piss him off. Then he rages and becomes wildly violent .

Good ol lawful law DB 😂🎉

My understanding from other posts is that he lacks protection in the jail in Milwaukee and got threatened and beaten there. He wants to go back to prison where he feels safer.

It's scary when he is calm and agreeable.

No he is laughing because someone punched him in the eye and he wants to get out of there.

Im kinda jaded about this man... i think he has something up his sleeve - or thinks he does.

It seems like his time in prison-post conviction and sentencing last year-has grounded him. I was surprised when he said he wasn’t medicated given his agreeable and calm demeanor.

I think he snickered to the judge about not being held in the jail is because it’s more difficult for him to be there. He’d rather be in prison.

I'm surprised he has a lawyer this time 😮🍿

He knows the judge will not be intimidated.

Kudos to this defense attorney for getting this done!! 👏🏻

Darrell is always redefining what it means to be cripplingly stupid.

I may be wrong, but it sounds more like Darrell is agreeing that he believes the state has enough evidence against him, to prove he comitted these offences, and, not that he's agreeing to being guilty of comitting the offenses? 🤔

I saw his hearing and he looked and acted like a different person. He was strapped into a wheelchair, but beyond that he was polite to the judge, answered all her questions, didn't talk over her or interrupt her. It was amazing.

I was wondering if he had any thoughts on his black eye and swelling in his face.

The Darrell Brooks Cinematic Universe is wild

If duh-rells mom sold his story for a movie and, got paid, could Erika sue mommy?

Wow , Brooks lawyer doesn't look real enthusiastic at all. Lol

I heard they transport inmates in wheelchairs in that courthouse.

I think he was worried mommy would be subpoenaed to testify

Love seeing Peter's subscribers number increase!!

He’s not rehabilitated, and he’s not a narcissist, he’s a psychopath. It’s power, ego and self-preservation that matters to him, not attention. He’s already lost the game and he knows it. There’s no point in putting on a show like last time bc he’s already in prison for six lifetimes.

I believe he is in the Dodge Correctional Institution, unless he was transferred very recently. Chris Watts is also there…transferred after pleading guilty in CO.

I never thought DB was a real Sov Cit but learned about it in jail and tried it out. It didn’t work out well and I think this attorney did a great job getting him in check and respectful. This charge is what seemed to upset DB the most so I’m glad he took responsibility. I would rather he plead guilty but it doesn’t matter. Maybe DB has settled into jail/prison life. I hope so.

It costs us 35k a year to keep Brooks in prison. Take him to Kristi Noems gravel pit.

DB doesn’t want to be remanded in the Milwaukee prison because he fears for his safety. Hence the black eye. He knows that there is 3 verified murder threats been made against him he is safer in 23/7 lockdown in Boscobel supermax prison.

Noooooo!!! DB is such a nightmare dumpster fire!!! 🔥

The Prosecution was going to ammend charges after pretrial conference on the previous Friday and not having a plea from DB and add charges. He is in wheelchair restrained because it takes less deputies to deal with him. Erika does not have the means to sue or ask for restitution.

I love the black eye

IMO his mom shld be held accountable as well

I am so relieved.that Brooks stopped playing games.

He’s in jail the rest of his life is this even necessary to do this

He is being housed with the worst of the worst here in Wisconsin. He is in Wisconsin Secure Program Facility Prison in Boscobel. I’m guessing that is one reason he is appearing in a wheelchair with a black eye. I don’t know that for a fact, but it would make sense.

Is it standard that a convicted person cannot make any money from the crime the prisoner was convicted of?

Please don’t waste an additional minute being exposed to Mr. Brooks 😡😡😡

I think it’s because he didn’t want to stay in Milwaukee jail during trial, not safe

I don't think we'd be lucky enough to live that comedy act of him representing himself again.

It was clear that Darrell Brooks had mental issues. Perhaps they got him on medication

Fascinating. He’s an entirely different guy behaviorally. I wonder what Judge Dorow thinks of this?

Modesto PD is involved / corrupt to. Top middle bottom

Where's my popcorn 🍿 Im here for this debacle, too.

I couldn’t watch because the court testimony was replayed at such a fast speed (2x ?) that I couldn’t comprehend much of it. Please reconsider this 2x replay speed, Peter. A lot of us can’t listen at that pace. Thanks!

I LOVE the way you get with the program when playing back court proceedings.❤

i quickly checked what the referenced location is, that he's housed in: Wisconsin Secure Program Facility (WSPF) Boscobel

If look at his face he has a black eye I have a feeling some beat crap out him in the jail. When she says can go back to prison he says thank you

Meds working

DB is in jail for 600yrs. What is the point of this trial? Isn’t it a waste of time and expense?

Appreciate the update on Brooks.

Somebody gave him an attitude adjustment. I wonder who is responsible for this, lol. 🤔😂😂

Wow Peter you really sped it up a lot today! 😂

For me no contest isn't accepting responsibility. Guilty would be that for me.

Maybe he knows the show is over and is done with the theatrics

Your take on DB laughing about being in prison is wrong. He came into court with a black eye,,,,so he's getting pummeled in county jail. He was thrilled to be sent back to maximum security prison for his own safety.

Peter you are the best ❤

He is pleading no contest to get out of MKE jail and back to maximum security jail where he's better protected and doesn't know anybody. I'm sure Milwaukee jail houses people who know him, and like him less than the rest of the world does.

Grounds

I don’t think he wanted his mom to testify (which is entirely possible), it would be too dangerous for. Her to come to court. Black eye was a nice and satisfying touch from the boys in jail!!!

Thank you, Peter! You are the best! 🥸

He is currently in the WI supermax facility for exceptional bad behavior.

His defence attorney is the same guy who represented Jessy kursomethingorother (eye drops) at her sentencing.

I don't think he's reneged but rather defeated and had no grounds of saying I'm innocent... He's crazy and I would not trust him

He seems calm. And seems the street drugs probably wore off finally.

He went from a fancy business 🧑‍💼 suit to a sniveling 😭 little punk with no hope for freedom.

Oh my, he's back.

He had a black eye and swollen jaw. He got beat up at Milwaukee County jail, he took a plea to go back to Boscobel
