After 18 excruciating days in court while Waukesha killer Darrell Brooks maddeningly delayed justice with his antics, a jury found him guilty of all charges.
After eighteen excruciating days in court during which Waukesha killer Darrell Brooks maddeningly delayed justice by defending himself with sovereign citizen rhetoric, a jury found him guilty of all charges. The charges included six counts of first-degree intentional homicide while using a dangerous weapon, 61 counts of recklessly endangering safety, six counts of hit-and-run causing death, and two counts of bail jumping — all felonies — and one count of misdemeanor battery.
Brooks sat silently — for the first time not interrupting — while Judge Jennifer Dorow read the verdict. After the second count of first-degree homicide was read, a spectator in the gallery shouted out, “Burn in hell, you piece of sh*t” and was immediately removed from the courtroom by Dorow. This is somewhat contrary to her behavior toward the defendant, to whom she had shown nauseating deference and given multiple chances when none were required. The victim’s families in the gallery received no such repeated warnings about their behavior, however, and were tossed out unceremoniously at the very first outburst.
«Burn in hell you piece of s***» is yelled at #DarrellBrooks from the gallery.
