The man accused of plowing his SUV through the Waukesha
Christmas parade in Wisconsin, killing six people last year,
disrupted his trial proceedings by stripping off his shirt and
sticking a sign down his pants.
Darrell Brooks, who is representing himself, was once again up
to his bizarre antics ahead of opening statements Thursday, just
three days after he was tossed from court for interrupting jury
selection proceedings.
Brooks, 40, is facing six counts of first-degree intentional
homicide and another 70 charges for the Nov. 21, 2021, massacre
in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha.
The accused killer interrupted Judge Jennifer Dorow at least a
dozen times Thursday before jurors were brought into the
courtroom.
He made odd claims, saying he doesn’t recognize his own name,
before Dorow ordered that he be placed in a separate courtroom,
where he communicated via video call.
There, Brooks displayed puzzling behavior on camera.
He removed his jail uniform shirt, sat on the table and turned
his back to the camera. He took a sign he was given to hold up
to the camera to signal objections and stuck it down the front
of his pants.
He jabbed the table with his finger and then requested medical
attention for a cut on one of his fingers.
After he was allowed back into the main courtroom after a lunch
break, Brooks said he didn’t understand what was happening —
which Dorow waved off.
She said she believed that he does understand and that he needed
to stop interrupting her.
Brooks later claimed that he has a right to free speech as
protected by the Constitution and therefore has the right to
speak in court.
“You have a right to present a defense, but your rights are not
unfettered,” Dorow shot back.
The judge and prosecutors believe Brooks’ actions are
intentional and thought out. They believe he is acting out in
order to delay his hearing.
“These actions are deliberate and intentional and they have
escalated,” District Attorney Susan Opper said. “He’s attempting
to derail these proceedings and delay the inevitable.”
Dorow said four psychologists have tested Brooks and found him
fit to stand trial.
“It’s very clear to this court that everything that he has done
as outlined by the state and made evident on the record of these
proceedings, that it is the sole intent of Mr. Brooks to make a
mockery of this process,” Dorow said.
“I believe this trial needs to continue and should continue.”
