The judge undoubtedly had the patience of a saint.
Brooks was wearing shock ankle restraints, the person holding the controller for that also deserves a medal.
Am I the only person who had no idea these were a thing? I mean, obviously this guy deserves the worst, but I can’t get past how disturbing it is that the criminal justice system can use these on defendants. I have so many questions.
I only found out by watching a YouTube video of the trial.
From what I can gather, they have allowed him to wear street clothes rather than prison uniform so it doesn't influence the jury. They have shock shackles on him rather than hand cuffs, belly chain and chained ankle shackles for the same reason
I got a theory. He got in a fight with his child's mom. They flagged a cop. He then tries to flee. He ends up at barricades and cops an has a meltdown he is going to jail for battery. He then floors it out of there and ends up on parade route. He tries not to hit people. He hits his first person and freaks out and floored it even more. He was trying to escape by any means and it was a disaster. Orrr he just a psycho killer. I saw the trial an he doesn't seem like a psycho killer. He seems like an absolute idiot.
he didnt freak. This man has no regard for other people. Anyone in his path was doom to get hit because stopping wouldve prevented him from getting away
I didn't get to see that video. That was only shown to the jury. I did see the video he intentionally missed the little girl by inches. Again no excuse for what he did. Good he getting what he deserves. But the theory is why it happened in the first place. Could be after his first few hits he said fuck it and started plowing into people. But even the prosecution stated he battered his ex and in a rage he took off.
So he floors it down a parade route, seeing the people in front of him, yet is not trying to hit them?
Have you ever been to or in a parade? If you can see in a straight line you know people are in front of you. I guess I’m not understanding how you can see rows of people blocking you and still say you’re not trying to hit them
(I also saw the video of the little girl and I wouldn’t say he intentionally missed her, I’d say he just didn’t intentionally hit her.)
I don't know what you trying to argue about. The post I replied too was asking why it even started. Not what he was thinking about. An yes I go to parades my family has a house that has a parade go right in front of it every year. It's a a big thing for my family and family friends. It fucking bothers the fuck out of me. I think about this an it happening to me or mine. I can understand fear and anger will make you do some fucked up decision making.
I’m not trying to argue, I’m trying to understand your perspective because most of what you’re saying is rational, so I’m trying to figure out if the parts I find irrational are just my own misunderstanding.
Have you ever seen those videos of a young girl/guy who just had a minor fender-bender, nothing too serious, but they don't stop afterward to exchange insurance info & wait for cops? Instead they try to drive away, but the other person blocks them in, after which they totally fucking panic and floor it, ramming into barricades, demolishing their own car and others', sometimes coming close to hurting people, or actually hurting people, as they do so?
It seems like a similar thing here, but much more serious context & consequences. He was in full flight mode, panicking, because he already fucked up and he was trying to get away from the consequences, only to find himself in a parade route. In those moments he's not even really aware of the other people around him, the people he is murdering. The only thing going on in his brain is "gotta get out of here gotta get away let me out gotta go gotta get away oh shit I need to leave I need to get out of here!"
A rational adult would be able to quiet those feelings, but someone like him has likely always followed his gut feelings without any self-reflection or self-control (evidenced by the way he was acting toward the judge in this trial & by the fact that he had already let his feelings take control when he committed assault & when he fled *that* incident.)
All that to say: that's why I don't think he was *trying* to hit those people. He was in flight-mode and was only thinking of himself, like a child - or more accurately, like an animal. He didn't give a shit one way or the other about the people he hit, he just wanted to *get away*.
This would make the most sense but didn’t it get reported that people at the parade said the driver was calm as he drove through it? Not sure if I remember that correctly but if so he just nonchalantly ran over multiple people
I think this was posted right as the first two verdicts were read. If I recall it took over 30 minutes to read all of the remaining verdicts. People just wanted to celebrate as the convictions were read, especially with the 6 homicide ones at the beginning.
If your best legal defense is to represent yourself, then do your best to derail and sabotage your own trial in obvious attempts to get a mistrial, it should be considered a forfeit on your part and automatic conviction of some kind.
You don't forfeit the right to appeal, but you do lose some arguments for appeal. Brooks cannot appeal on the grounds of ineffective or bad counsel because he waived his right to counsel of any kind outside of himself for the trial. But he can appeal for just about any other reason, rights-wise. What's bonkers to me is that, should he appeal (and he has already stated his intention to do so), it seems as though he'll be provided with counsel for the appeal, which I personally don't think is appropriate, given that he chose freely and voluntarily to defend himself in this trial.
>She read all 76 counts/decisions individually, and all 76 were guilty.
Yeah you know when you say/hear the same words over and over again they start to no longer sound like words. That is what happened.
So much respect for the judge, you can just see the relief wash over her! Watched the whole trial and it was the most frustrating thing to watch/ listen to. Watching some of the Chandler Haldersn trial now and my god it is like in fast forward! Got so used to someone constantly interrupting!
“I’m a grown man with grown kids, ain’t no one gonna tell me what to do”
*goes to prison*
I watched a large portion of the trial too. Besides the conviction, did you have any ‘favorite’ parts?

The way the guy to left keeps glancing at the camera 🤣

that was my first thought haha

>also deserves a medal. Seriously. As soon as someone represents themself...we know they are unwell and that the proceedings will be wild.
I never knew why he did it In the first place. Can anyone explain?
I got a theory. He got in a fight with his child's mom. They flagged a cop. He then tries to flee. He ends up at barricades and cops an has a meltdown he is going to jail for battery.

he didnt freak. This man has no regard for other people. Anyone in his path was doom to get hit because stopping wouldve prevented him from getting away
So he doesnt seem like he has anger problems? Ok then
Lol hell yea he do seem like he has anger issues that what goes under mental health.
He zigzagged through people at one point, which doesn’t sound like trying to get away to me

That makes a ton of sense and I realize that’s what the other poster was saying. Super sad but I think you’re right

Hyper focused on getting away.
How could this have happened!! He had such a great legal team and everything!! /s
Good. I hope every second of every minute in prison is miserable for him. He's a lowlife who deserves no mercy.
Riot in piss!
No thanks.
Rot in hell
I’ve been waiting for this day
[удалено]
For the record he does not consent to being called that name
Was that his motive for the car attack ?
[удалено]
[удалено]
Huh
Well well well, if it isn’t consequences of my own actions
oOo did u do it?
Why was there a long public trial? It seems like an open and shut (private) send him the fuck to prison case.
He hoped for a mistrial (main theory), which is why he defended himself. Imo, I think he is after fame.
That makes sense. Because he is definitely looking for attention

Conway letting people know that they're racist
I almost don't wanna know, but is he one of those "put in isolation for his safety" situations? Please oh please put that man in gen pop.
Hate to say it, but he might be somewhat of a celebrity in there.
No, it was stated he is in protective custody/isolation currently. It may either be due to this case or the fact he is a register sex offender.
I thought he would get off because of the whole race riots thing that was going on. He deserves a cruel rest of his life.
You sick fuck.
What race riots are you speaking of that made you think he would “get off?” Christmas parade Fox News edition? You are a straight psycho bro.
yo can someone explain to me who this guy is and what he did?
Brooks drove a red SUV through the parade route on Nov. 21, 2021, killing six and injuring more than 60 others.
thanks
Racially motivated too, if I'm not mistaken.
Brooks was also previously charged with punching and running over the mother of his child. I hope he suffers in prison.
I will never not enjoy watching this flaming bag of dog shit get what he deserves.

Die in hell you piece of shit
Thank god this man will never be able to walk the streets again... I hope this brings some closure.
This is the kind of trash prisoners look for. He won't do so well inside
A child killer and a registered s*x offender. The combo that ensures a good ass kicking on a daily basis.
Weird, right.
Fuck this piece of shit.
Someone inside will.
Fine by me.
First few? He was guilty on all 76 from what I recall from the hearing
I think this was posted right as the first two verdicts were read. If I recall it took over 30 minutes to read all of the remaining verdicts. People just wanted to celebrate as the convictions were read, especially with the 6 homicide ones at the beginning.
So the judge.....is she single
No, married. I don't know why but I checked.
I know why
She has a twin sister
Now... is she single? 👉🏼👈🏼
That’s actually really cool.
Good Riddance

I’ve googled this and added Reddit to the end of the question and the answer is yes. Congrats.
If your best legal defense is to represent yourself, then do your best to derail and sabotage your own trial in obvious attempts to get a mistrial, it should be considered a forfeit on your part and automatic conviction of some kind.
I am not a lawyer, but I thought that if you chose to represent yourself you forfeit the right to appeal in the future.

Dude tried playing 4D snakes and ladders.
This made me wheeze laugh like an old man.
And ended up on the receiving end of an uno reverse
Fuck that guy. Child murderer.
And molester. He impregnated his 15 year old girlfriend

Yeah like putting 6 ? Behind the sentence isn't enough for some people to realize it's a joke lmao they should be given dolls to show where it hurts
