So I think Brooks is using a four-layered defense: -It wasn't me driving. -If it was me driving, it was an accident. -If it wasn't an accident, you can't punish me because there's no plaintiff. -If there is a plaintiff, I'm a sovereign citizen, so you don't have jurisdiction over me.

@compzac

Жыл бұрын

you are completely correct that is his defense... now let me play the state -Heres evidence of the vehicle hitting people in the parade... heres video of the driver during those moments -heres evidence that he could have stopped at any point, or left the parade grounds via the blocked off streets with only plastic barricades -the plaintiff is the people of the state of wisconsin and the wisconsin/waukesha district attorney, so yes there is a plaintiff and no the state is not required to present an injured party, but we do have injured parties anyway, also your think of civil court cases this is a criminal case we the people do not have to present an injured party, id suggest you read up on law because we have for years to earn our suits -the citizen darrell brooks is indeed a citizen of the united states of america with a social security number, a Wisconsin driving license and place of residence, he had not submitted any paper work renouncing his citizenship to our country and has not provided any other countries paperwork to which he is a citizen, he will be tried as a citizen of this country and as such if found guilty will be sentenced, and will dutifully serve his sentence as a citizen of the US until such time that he either passes away or his sentence whatever it may be has been carried out.

I have NEVER HATED someone I've never met or known. In fact I don't even like the word hate much less harboring that feeling BUT I ACTUALLY HATE THIS PIECE OF TRASH! There are many words that I could use to describe what he is but I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands that feel the same way. He's far from being a human but not even good enough to be called an animal. I like animals. THIS SAVAGE I HATE. I don't live in Waukesha. I don't live in Wisconsin. In fact I don't live anywhere close to Wisconsin. I don't even know anyone who lives in Wisconsin. If I feel THIS MUCH HATE towards this piece of trash I can't even BEGIN to imagine what those who were directly affected by this creatures actions must feel. I DO hope & pray that they are all, some way, some how, finding peace & are working on moving forward to live their lives to the fullest & not allow this creature to hold any space in their heart or mind nor steal any more from them than he already has. I looked up synonyms for the word hate & couldn't find any that were even close to depict what I feel towards this creature. I looked up angry & also couldn't find a word close to what i feel towards this creature. The same way I have these hostile feelings towards someone I've never met or known I also feel the COMPLETE OPPOSITE for those whose lives this creature has forever changed. I have so much love, compassion, empathy, hope & respect for each & every one of you. The way this community has pulled together, loved & cared for one another speaks for itself & is why people all over the WORLD love & support the people of Waukesha. Praying for you all. 🙏🏼❤🕊✝️🙏🏼

The judge did an amazing job of making sure his rights weren’t violated so he’d lose on appeal.

They aren’t letting him do this. He has a constitutional right to defend himself- and confront his accuser. It is the law of the land. He stood for a hearing of competence. He was warned over and over of the negative aspects of defending himself- and the constitutional rights he would have to forfeit to defend himself- he made a lucid decision to ignore the advice of the court- and fired his attorneys in open court. He denied the offer for a lawyer to help him guide his way through the legal system. His motion for self defense was granted. There is no way for him to be represented by council- unless this judge holds him in contempt- and orders him to accept council- in which case this jury will be dismissed- and this whole circus would happen again. These are the facts. There is no death penalty in Wisconsin- so he will undoubtedly be sentenced to 6 life sentences- without the possibility of parole- each to run concurrently with the last- and a huge amount of years for the endangerment of the public- like 60 times. He is done.. when he is exposed to other inmates (which may take years- if ever) real justice will be done

Simply amazing that this guy has the gall to contest the facts and act as if the judge and prosecution are railroading him. The selfishness is overwhelming.

I am so morbidly curious about this guys alleged witnesses.

The key was what Zach said…what happened when Darrell Brooks lost his physical advantage over a woman!!! How flippin disgusting!

His eyes are smiling like he is enjoying listening to what he did!

This attorney is a dream ❤

Zach did such a terrific job on the opening statement. I’d like to see him work a trial now, a year later. I’m sure he handles much more of the responsibility in prosecuting a case.

It scares me to think of the amount of rage I would experience if a loved one of mine was a victim in this Horrific Act. How someone could do this and feel No Remorse for his senseless act, it is beyond my realm of comprehension. I pray that in the end, the victims family and love ones find peace that justice has been served.

Oh, the people who had family murdered or injured by Darrell, i don't consent to that name brooks should litigate google for cash for all the ads they mowed down serious viewer's with. Playing ads every five minutes taking advantage of an american tragedy Fair to say, maybe google will claim subject matter jurisdiction

The irony of this trial happening during domestic violence awareness month

Absolutely disgusting when he started "I never see my kids growing up " wtaf how about those who lost babies or parents or friends u got the best punishment

It is Appalling to see a perpetrator given the position to interrogate or question or even speak to anyone he (with no fair trial) has already given a life sentence to, the families of those he killed, those who lived through his actions but have to live with loss for the rest of their lives ….. he is guilty of so much more human suffering along with intentional homicide.

Because there is a little thing called “everyone has a right to a fair trial” I know it sounds crazy especially when there is solid proof. I personally feel if the proof is as solid as it is in this case that right should be revoked.. but, there is always a loophole to the law and monsters like this guy can get their last laugh. Insane. Just my opinion.

It's a case because he plead not guilty. He could have chosen to plead guilty, take accountability and spare the victims and their families as well as the witnesses, the continued trauma of this trial.

It broke my heart seeing the little boy. Jackson sparks. He was so little. And adorable. What a terrible act of what Darrell brooks did. ,

This prosecuting team covered all bases! They were never caught off guard by DB's antics, which he was hoping for! Bless them for all the work they did. This young man is so well spoken and handsome. 🙏 To all victims of this horrific crimes.

He deserves to never see the light of day again , he is a monster ! He has no remorse for what he did he’s so selfish and only worries for hisself and his children not for the victims , the families of victims and the ones that actually lost there life , this is such a sad case all the way around . The children are now traumatized for life & now lost all innocence . Praying for everyone ❤

So he was fleeing beating up his gf. Smh What a pos And he could have stopped once he realized There was a parade. But he didnt. He kept running over kids. He makes me sick with his arrogant attitude. He thinks he runs this whole trial He is LOVING seeing the autopsies and damage he did

Watching him appear to pray for the first half of the opening is disgusting. He isn’t praying for those he killed; he is praying for himself!

He will basically make statements, and present his side of the story. Than the prosecution will have a chance to tear him apart

The lady police officer was amazing looking him in the eye and saying “I am looking at the person I saw that day” he thinks can convince the Jury he was not the driver while it is in all the videos and witnesses and the car is his mother’s. The Justice system should change and never allow a criminal to mistreat a judge, police officer, witnesses, experts, and the victims UNACCEPTABLE... it is also clear who is the plaintiff “it is us” DARREL BROOKS, the people of the United States, who want justice for the victims... And please cut your nasty nails. I feel for his children to have such a father is an embarrassment to them...

Because they have hearts. Because they are appalled, disgusted, horrified, and cannot fathom how a sober, Sane, individual can take a vehicle and plow through a crowd of innocent people marching in what should have been a happy, safe, celebration, and kill, severely maim, injure, with no concerns of the people, adults, children, in front of his vehicle, never stopping or turning off onto any of the many side streets available simply by running over or hitting traffic cones. THAT IS WHY. NO INNOCENT person can wrap their mind around this horrendous event. They can only express their emotions, thoughts, and outrage here in hopes of being heard. So... in so many ways Brooks not only affected all of Wakesha and all of the dozens injured, or traumatized by seeing, hearing and generally experiencing being at this event, his actions have affected a great many people, like a rock thrown into water...a ripple effect. Normal people CARE. They EMPATHIZE. They wonder how this can happen. They wonder how any person could Not Stop a vehicle, after hitting the very 1st person. All of this because he didn't want to be held accountable for violating the conditions of a PRIOR court order, which also involved physically hurting another person, who happened to be the Mother of his children. THAT is WHY. If you cannot understand how the general public can be so very affected by this event, and find a need to express that outrage? Then you are one of the many people, unfortunately, who have become increasingly desensitized to reckless, and total disregard for the value of human lives, and all that entails.

This case is horrible and his behavior makes it worse for the loved ones who lost people and for the injured. Whether they where injured physically or emotionally. It's shocking to see someone who committed such a heinous act get in front of the court and act this way. He is showing his true colors.

Very detailed opening statement bravo sir

Not for nothing, this attorney did a great job with this opening statement

Excellent job

You cannot run…but you CAN hide. Behind a stack of boxes. For a minute. 😂

I'm wondering how he really felt seeing the child he killed and I do believe he said he had kids.. makes you wonder about the future for them or him/her. His mom said he didn't do this on purpose.. I was just listening to the end and was wondering if anyone in jail with him has/had someone injured due to this. if anyone in jail was related or knew someone he hit and killed. I think I said that the right way. sorry If I messed up the way it should be said 🙏🏼

I am just watching the DA opening statement. I just wish she would have kept him in the other room. This trial would be over by now and the families wouldn't have to hear his voice ever again.

I haven’t watched the opening for the prosecution until now. Wow!!
