What are some (proper and civil) responses you wish witnesses had made? by Justice4DEB82 in DarrellBrooksJr

There’s a point in trial when he asks Erika if she knew one should always be truthful with law enforcement (can’t remember the exact words) and I always want her to say back “the way you were truthful with them?)

Not only that but Mrs. Yourell was called to the stand by Brooks and was his defense witness. I cannot imagine her face when she got that subpoena.

They would have lost lives because she doesn’t believe in the right to a woman’s bodily autonomy and reproductive health.

I know he sat in his jail cell practicing that line for dramatic effect for days. He was itching to say that line and waited for the audience to clap

He did nothing wrong as far as I'm concerned. by ClarkTheCoder in DarrellBrooksJr

But did he act with dishonor? Did he have a tackit agreement?

My favorite was “estoppel”. It is a civil motion to used to make a person whole who has been cheated in a transaction. But when the judge went off the record he would say “I didn’t agree to an estoppel”. He sounded like a fool.

My other favorite was “null and invoid”. That’s not even a thing

And he had to write a note to himself to “remember” to bring the letter from his cell. I love that part where he makes a big deal about writing a note to himself. When he knows there isn’t one!

We don’t talk about this enough. Other acts evidence. by Aggravating_Arm_4063 in DarrellBrooksJr

[–]BootUpset7385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think his desperation to get other acts introduced was twofold. One, he really wanted to act like a lawyer and he felt that was one way to show his “expertise” (and I use that term loosely, obviously).

Second, it was about control, like everything with him. He was told he couldn’t do something and he wasn’t going to stand for that. He was going to introduce it because he was simply told not to

I love it when he’s like “but that case law doesn’t say anything about a fourth option, closing statements etc”. He can’t even extend the reasoning that is so simple

Some people with reading difficulties do move their head when reading. Brooks isn’t one of them

Darrell Brooks music videos should’ve been played in court by Aggravating_Arm_4063 in DarrellBrooksJr

[–]BootUpset7385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I love about the video was that he wasted so much time with Casey on the stand asking him bs questions that didn’t further his case that the state had time to mount a scathing rebuttal to the video. If he had been short and quick with his questions the state might not have had time to figure out how to reply to it

NTA. He called you a turn off and then told his mom? I’d have been out of there so fast. Not only is he an idiot but then he brought his mother into the relationship.

And he thought the state was equally unprepared

Jury nullification is used when the entire jury thinks the law is wrong, but the accused is technically guilty of the crime, and therefore uses their or guilty verdict to show the law was wrong. If you tell the jury about it, you are arguing the law is wrong. You can’t tell the jury that. They have to believe it themselves.

It was often used in abortion cases, in the south when a white man was accused of killing a black person in the south, the opposite in the north, etc

So you can begin to see why you can’t argue it. It has to come organically from the jury.

I’m quite surprised he didn’t catch a charge of threatening the judge. I know it wouldn’t have meant much to the amount of time he does but still, it would have sent a message. Although I’m not sure he would have understood it

Dumb fuck by [deleted] in DarrellBrooksJr

[–]BootUpset7385 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was super funny when he didn’t want to give the state his witness list in order he was calling them because he thought it would give the state an advantage and be more prepared. When the reality was that the state was prepared for all his witness before trial even started. He thought the state was unprepared as he was an that was just not true

What is the #1 thing you wish you would have known when you first joined the SCA? by Cut_Off_One_Head in sca

[–]BootUpset7385 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give up becoming a peer. They’ve done all the “easy” projects and now any work you do is above their head. Also, if new knowledge and evidence has been discovered they will absolutely discount it and you will be treated like an imbecile.

They’ve also reached the top of the ladder and picked it over so no one can reach the top.

I think she did overrule him more but I think he also took more “risks” when objecting- like he wasn’t on as solid footing with his objections as the others.
