A Wisconsin judge on Tuesday told the man accused of killing six
people at last year’s Waukesha Christmas parade to “stop playing
games” as the suspect voiced his intent to defend himself at
trial.
Darrel Brooks, 40, is facing 77 charges — including six counts
of first-degree intentional homicide — for the horrific
vehicular attack at the Wisconsin city’s annual parade in Nov.
2021. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges.
“I would like to represent myself,” Brooks told Waukesha County
Judge Jennifer Dorow.
Dorow asked Brooks what that means to him, to which he replied
“Again, because I’ve already said it on the record, to represent
myself as a sovereign citizen.”
However, Brooks said several times that he didn’t understand
“the nature and cause for the charges,” WISN reported, prompting
the judge to call for a recess.
He reportedly told the judge he did not understand that he is
facing criminal charges in Waukesha County.
“I cannot make a finding at this point that you have an
understanding of what you’re charged with in the nature of these
proceedings,” she said.
The judge snapped at him to “stop playing games,” as Brooks
laughed.
She read him his charges again, and he continued to repeat that
he does not understand the charges and penalties he’s facing,
telling Dorow “it’s a lot of numbers.”
The accused killer also insisted that he was an “alleged”
defendant in the case, eliciting an irritable correction from
Dorow. He also questioned why the State of Wisconsin was the
plaintiff against him, while refusing to answer several other
questions.
“You have demonstrated through this hearing that you don’t have
a basic understanding of some of the things that are going on,”
she told Brooks.
Brooks called a break and told his attorneys, who have not yet
been officially discharged, that if Brooks keeps interrupting
and refusing to follow directions, the hearing will end.
After the break, Dorow told Brooks he had until 9 a.m. Wednesday
morning to complete a form requesting to serve as his own lawyer.
“At this point sir I cannot grant the request because I cannot
make a finding that you understand what’s going on,” she said.
Last month, Brooks was escorted out of court after an outburst
during a pretrial hearing.
Brooks’ trial is scheduled to begin next Monday, Oct. 3.
