"She said she 18, did you know that" My brother in christ you pleaded guilty to it

Bruh’s plan was to defend himself from murder charges by constantly projecting murderous rage.

This is a key and peele character

This Judge is such a great person. She wasn’t raising her voice, but at the same time she was shutting him up. She kept her cool and exposed him for who he really was. A monster.

The fact that he made it this far in life, without angering the wrong person is baffling to me.

Judge is going to feel so good when she finally gets to say, ‘Life in prison with no possibility of parole’

If thats how he talks to the judge responsible for deciding his future, imagine how he talks to everybody else. Absolute low level filth.

Imagine having to deal with this man in real life….without any court officers there to control him? He’s scary.

This is what he gets for trying to make the mother of his children look bad.

Well done to the jury for finding him guilty on all counts. He is such a vile person.

He was so close to the “your honor stfu you weren’t even there”

His remorse is nonexistent, if I knew I caused the amount of pain , death and suffering as this defendant, I don’t think I could live with myself

For anyone confused, he’s trying his very best to get a mistrial and the judge won’t let it happen this time.

Imagine going through all that grind of law school to have to sit there and let a criminal disrespect you in your office

It’s been over a year since I first watched this trial and it still makes my blood boil every time I he speaks.

This is why you need a lawyer.....a REAL lawyer.

I’ve never seen someone who is so incredibly unintelligent believe they are smarter than everyone in the room. It’s honestly surprising that his brain isn’t overwhelmed by simply keeping him breathing.

This dude actually used the "but she told me she was 18" defense as a part of his legal strategy 😄😄😄

i am guessing the whole "she was 18 when i meet her" didnt work in his guilty plea years ago lol

Someone who has zero respect for anyone or anything, wanting to be treated with respect. Deranged.

Man, this guy really won a few arguments with his girlfriend and thought that gave him the experience to be his own lawyer…

If this "man" acts like this in front of a judge, imagine how he acts in public. Danger to society is an understatement.

His discomfort is being told what to do by a woman without having the ability to assault or emotionally abuse them to make them stop

He went to the Jerry Springer school of arguing. Whomever yells the loudest, wins.

This man has given everyone he’s ever encountered PTSD.

He is so embarrassed that this came out to the public. And I love seeing it.

As a person who works in law-enforcement and having attended numerous court proceeding I have to give my respect to this judge. Her tone, demeanor and actions are well measured and only to the point. This offender is not doing himself any favours in the way he behaves to the court. Like others I must say it's a wonder that he has managed to survive life to this point. He will definitely make friends while he serves his sentence.

Judge is way too tolerant!

I have never witnessed someone ruining their life so well by being his own attorney! He literally doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s acting like he is in middle school!

I don't think he realizes the judge will be the one who sentences him. Showing her how dangerous he is and would be if he's ever let out in public again, is just brilliant.

I hope his cellmate is an absolute nightmare.

I admire this judge for her patience and refusal to compromise the values or fairness of the justice system. It is nice to see such a patient, mature representative of the court system.

I have never witnessed a more combative, argumentative person in my entire life. This dude is unreal.

This guy has the lawyer he deserves

lmao his feelings got hurt😂glad this sicko is going away forever

This is a true monster of a human. The victims families had to sit through all of this. I can’t.

If this is how he behaves in court, imagine what he's capable of in day-to-day life. His foolishness, sense of entitlement and lack of self-control are astonishing.

These videos of him in court are perfect for explaining to somebody what arguing with a narcissist is like if they’ve never had to do that before.

They’re allowed to just talk back and interrupt like that?

Oh my, she handled that much better than I would have.

For those who missed the hearing where Darrell Brook formally uncoupled himself from his state provided attorneys let me share with you that it was excruciating - Judge Dorrow went on for what felt like hours about what defending himself would mean; she went over his rights, what valuable resources he would be losing access to, what he would be up against with regard to the prosecutors, and that he would be expected to function as any competent attorney would. She told him that he would be up against a nearly impossible task and almost begged him to keep the attorney's provided by the state. So just keep that in mind when he complains endlessly about how unfair this trial is.

6 life sentences, plus 776 years... And 3 months. 😂 That's the most hilarious prison sentence I've ever heard. I feel awful for his victims, and awful for laughing, but thank God this man is going away for life.

I feel better knowing he's been sentenced to like 1000 years in prison and can't have commissary or any luxuries until he pays off his debts to the court, which is going to take forever. Being in prison is bad enough but he can't even buy snacks or games or books like everyone else and that's so great.

so glad this guy is behind bars!!!

He tried so hard to get her to snap so he could claim a mistrial and she kept her cool the whole time.

The judge tried telling him not to open the door, in his haste to be argumentative he made himself look 1000x times worse. 😂😂😂

this is why you don’t represent yourself in court

I remember Washington Post simply blaming eveything on "an SUV" cause they didn't dare describe the suspect

For the first time in his life he is having to be held accountable for his actions and face the facts. Gotta love this judge!

I can’t stop watching this. The attorney dropped the mic! Best part of this whole trial.

I try and tell my students this is how they look, not realizing this is where your attitude takes you as an adult.

Why is he not kicked out for contempt of court???

This prosecutor, Zach, went above and beyond to protect Erika today and I’m just so glad someone is finally keeping her safe from Darrel:) she’s almost free now ❤

He’s the kind of person who has gotten away with everything his entire life. I hope he never gets out of prison.

Imagine being so unhinged as to be oblivious to how this kind of behavior would make you look to the world at large.

He deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life

Judge got top tier patience dealing with this vile human being.

He is absolutely infuriating. I've watched more trials than I can count, and no one has boiled my blood like this man.

We need more people to represent themselves in Court. 💯

Why not put him in contempt?

State literally dropped the mic on Brooks and he lost it. Lol he forgot jail phone calls are recorded.

We have all known a person like this in our lives, someone who doesn't know when to JUST SHUT UP, and thinks its part of their cool 'character' to not show self control.

I don’t understand why he wasn’t held for contempt of court

I'm an inner city high school teacher. I cant tell you how many students I've had over the years who've exhibited this kind of arrogant behavior. This guy is essentially the "adult" personification of so many 15-19 year old youth dissillusioned with the world around them. It's sad because I've been teaching for more than 15 years, and in the process earned several graduate degrees that I did not even need to get, obtained numerous licenses, and attended many professional training seminars. Despite all my education and training, in some crazy ironic way I now understand so many of these kids even less than I did originally before setting foot for this venture. So many of these young men.....and women (they're not even technically "boys" and "girls" anymore) are completely unsociable and practically unteachable. It's sad because I know that so many of them will end up in an orange jump suit exactly like Mr. Brooks later in their lives. I had recently left a school primarily designed for these types of individuals. I made the choice to leave after having worked there for some time due to their being a lack of any actionable consequences or accountability for illegal behavior, repeat offenses, truancy, gang related behavior and simply bad choices. Thus, the school in my view was equally as culpable as is the other facets of their external environment. When I voiced my opinion to leadership about the mass damage that their misbegotten vision was doing to these students, I found myself no longer in good standing, so I left. When I look at and listen to this grown adult of a man who still doesn't seem to understand the causation for his current position, and the ramification of his choices, and endlessly deny his actions despite all the glaring evidence, I see many of my students.

How this man made it this far in life is shocking

This dude is an absolute child and at the same time a dangerous man he’s combative at every opportunity it’s clear he cannot control his emotions he’s a danger to everyone around him

He leaves a trail of destruction , then blames everyone else for pointing it out

I’ve heard that if you tell the judge to "stop, just stop" the judge is required by law to stop the proceedings and allow brooks to go free…

This man makes my blood boil🤬. I have never seen so much blatant disrespect towards a judge or court proceeding in my life. I give this judge pure respect for maintaining professionalism throughout this case.

How the bailiffs refrain from whooping his a** is beyond me.

I'll never understand why guys like this get such attitude with the judge. I mean, even if you're right and they're way out of line, what do you expect the outcome to be? They're just gonna flip around on a dime and love you? There's NO WORLD in which mouthing off a judge is ever going to help your case. Just shut up and do what you're supposed to do.

How is this guy allowed to represent himself? He is clearly unable to keep his temper in check?

If he's this unpleasant in public, it's scary to think of how he behaved behind closed doors.

Ah, blaming everyone else for your mistakes, the narcissist's textbook.

haha let him talk. he's doing all the heavy lifting for the state

The state absolutely scorched him lmao

This is the most patient judge I’ve ever seen.

He should have been held in contempt from the second interruption. This guy has no respect for authority.

this felt more like a key and peele sketch than a court session

this man is genuinely terrifying i hope he never gets out of jail

Could you imagine having a regular conversation/argument with him outside of court, without a judge to shut him up. He’s insane

The way Brooks looks anywhere but at the judge is exactly the way that many police officers look away in a consensual/non-consensual conversation. Pure arrogance!

Man I can't believe the judge would allow so much in-akkuret information on the record!

All his life…he spoke over everyone. Its tough to finally get told to do something and he actually has to do it.

He's doing an amazing job prosecuting himself..😆

Fatherless behaviour

If she told him she was 18 then why did he plead guilty knowing hed be a registered offender??? Hes lying Hes afraid of what the Jail house boys are gonna think when they hear this

Fun Fact: if you choose to represent yourself in a criminal trial, you cannot appeal due to incompetent counsel.

He should be handcuffed.

This is embarrassing for me to watch.🤦🏾‍♂️

"She said she was 18"... probably not the first time the judge has heard that line

This guy is proof that some people should be put out of everyone else's misery.

Darrel Brooks' story is a testament to the power of determination and perseverance in receiving his law degree from the streets of ghetto schools. Despite growing up in a mentally challenging environment, he never gave up on his dream of ending up in and out of jail, where he obtained his degree in criminal skills. His criminal achievements are a powerful reminder that anything is possible with hard work and dedication when you strive and end up with Six life sentences plus 776 years And three months in prison.

I with such an eloquent defense, I can’t believe he didn’t win his case.

This guy should be THE EXAMPLE of narcissist in every college psychology course. This dude should be studied for years to come to identify indicators.

I can't believe the guy that killed six people also has a short temper.

Man, this must have been so tedious for everyone involved.

The patience of that judge, incredible.

Shout out to the prosecutor 😂👏🏽👏🏽 so eloquently put “since you want to imply she’s a bad mom, let’s talk about you being a registered S.O. “

"Since you think you know so much" Truly the greatest legal terminology.
