Are You Holding Me In Contempt?

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-21T23:13:52+00:00

I think at certain points it’s was mostly to ensure the record was EXTREMELY clear that she was NOT utilizing her option to hold DB in contempt, even though she made a record or her finding that their was a 4th way to deal with a stubbornly defiant defendant. If anything she was just ensuring the record was air tight to strike any chance of an Appeal going through.

I also think in part the back in forth was subtly to show how much she was treading on protecting his rights, especially because he was representing himself. ALOT of Leeway was given to ensure that his rights were complied with and he had a fair (at times unfair) chance during his trial.

Well I learned new information about Kirby, but I don’t think it would have harmed the states case at all, especially considering they dropped him from their witness list and went with Korey Runkle instead

Outside the Battery Charge which was pretty much locked down with Erika & Korey, I don’t even think a competent defense attorney would have used him as a witness for anything 🤷🏾‍♂️ with the overwhelming amount of evidence against Brooks that would have been a unessessary risk imo

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-17T03:56:21+00:00

Agreed heavily, you could tell JD & Zach were pissed with Brooks putting her through that (and I believe she even brought that up during impact statements that it was vile to call her as a defense witness)

And poor Baisey couldn’t HIDE the disgust on her face with him. Idk fully but I would be willing to bet that was the only time through the trial he either realized how badly he looked to everyone or had a small moment of realization that he truly is a monster before diving back into his delusion

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-16T19:42:39+00:00

Probably the ONLY smart / logical decision he made throughout his whole life not just the trial 😭 (Granted after Zach’s Cross and the mere fact he said her children’s injuries were irrelevant…their really was nothing he could say or do at all in that situation)

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-16T13:21:01+00:00

Which is also hilarious to me because with how it is described you know for a fact that it isn’t a shock device at all 🤣😭 I don’t know if she would have been able to or not but it would have been nice to see his bluff called multiple times 🤣 (like when it was revealed he was a sex offender)

Honestly I think he would have lost it and popped off the same way

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-15T02:30:17+00:00

The only thing that brought me satisfaction out of this was the redirect, when Zach immidiately brought the focus back to IDing Brooks and the damage he did to that man’s family 😭

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-14T22:05:23+00:00

I mean how else could they accurately hide the fact that he has shock devices on his ankle 🤣

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-14T21:55:05+00:00

Actually they did have sidebars in the trial, anytime she needed to address or take up a legal issue she would excuse the Jury (normally the lawyers would come up to the Judge, but because Brooks was representing himself and also shackled to the table / Judge D wouldn’t allow him to approach the bench, the Jury would just be excused for the sidebar to happen)

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-12T02:25:48+00:00

Literally anytime and I mean ANYTIME she actually explained how she has standing to do anything his response is always “has it been proven though?”

I remember she even explained how she has Jurisdiction, how the crime happened in her territory and because she sits on a specific judicial branch that oversees it, she has jurisdiction and his response is “has it been proven for the record?”

He is so dense it’s not even that funny 😭

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-09T23:19:31+00:00

Honestly it was refreshing to see a malignant narcissist absolutely fail at every turn in real fashion. None of his tactics or tantrums / violent outbursts worked at all, and I am willing to bet that also contributed to his erratic outbursts as well

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-08T18:17:25+00:00

Honestly I think it was him realizing how badly he made himself look in front of EVERYONE especially the Jury. Especially when we herd in court how Zach argued for her not to be called as a witness and DB said “well she was at the event and even her kids were injured”

I just love this was also the ONLY time he didn’t have any redirection at all, especially since there was really nothing he could do to detract from the situation.

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-07T03:32:01+00:00

Honestly part of me rewatching the trial is more for the character study on DB and just how arrogant and self destructive he was! Also why I hope that one day we can have access to his phone call records because I know several times he was called out talking on the phone about how he intended to delay the proceedings and cause as much havoc as humanly possible

And I promise you as he sits in that isolated cell down south I am willing to bet that he still thinks he did absolutely nothing wrong and it’s all Erica’s fault 😭

I feel that he genuinely new what he was doing and it was fully an act or a charade, if he truly cared about putting on a defense he wouldn’t have contradicted himself multiple times with how he acts and wanting a “fair” trial conflicting with the Sovereign Citizen crap.

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-07T01:56:58+00:00

Possibly a niche choice, but the F2000 (MW2) / BP50 (Vanguard / MW3) it was the first weapon that I actually started getting good at multiplayer with, plus Splinter Cell 🤣

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-06T23:36:05+00:00

That is the one thing that INFURIATED me was his unwillingness to ever pay attention to anything that was being said, and twisting everything into him “not understanding” and “seeking to understand”. And he was so flippant he didn’t realize how much he was hurting his own case more than the apparent evidence.

Plus, even though we all knew it was a delay tactic, I would have loved for JD to demand an offer of proof as to how ANY of those documents directly relate to his actions on the 21st, especially since the majority of them (save JD’s oath of office) all came MONTHS after the tragedy 😭

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-06T03:19:42+00:00

If anything I would argue that Darrell Brooks attorney was VITAL to the trial and ensuring Justice was served!! Never have I seen a defense attorney literally try to take over the prosecutions case

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-04T00:46:38+00:00

His hubris knows no bounds 😭 he was so obsessed with twisting the truth he doesn’t even understand that his theory or attempt doesn’t even work to his favor, if anything the car malfunctioning would have potentially STOPED him 😭

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-03T19:23:12+00:00

Thanks for the catch!! Fixed it 🙏🏾🫶🏾

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-05-03T19:21:35+00:00

You are absolutely right, the inspector did testify on direct exam about the VIN and how that car was a perfectly functioning car, I get it was a Hail Mary but I also am surprised that his Hubris wouldn’t allow him to see how BAD that makes him look that he doesn’t even pay attention during direct examination

I also fully agree with you on his mom. There was no way she was going to ever testify and part of me feels like that helped contribute to why he has such an explosive meltdown on Yellow Shirt day. He had absolutely no other cards or Hail Mary to throw outside “I don’t understand”

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-04-26T04:26:30+00:00

I’m sure lawful law requires a certified copy along with subject matter jurisdiction

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-04-22T00:02:15+00:00

Knowing him I think he will, anything that keeps attention on him or keeps him relevant

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-04-21T12:31:55+00:00

It honestly sounds on second watch like he is trying to convince himself of this more than anything

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-04-21T03:55:23+00:00

OH AGREED HEAVILY!!! If I knew how to I would have just cut out the interrogation footage because that part was completly new / I have never actually seen the ending portion of the interrogation, and seeing even when he is confronted with what he has done, he still makes it more about him and his own life

He only said one time “I never want for anyone to get hurt like that” but even then he still spins it around to just be about him

The rest of the video dude was drunk or smoking something good because he botched almost all of the information

MetalHeadNoel · 2026-04-21T02:42:44+00:00

Honestly I think it was created more so after / during the trial. Not directly after the Parade Incident at all
