'I'm Done': Judge Walks Out of Courtroom in the Middle of Christmas Parade Massacre Suspect's Sentence
Jack Davis, The Western Journal By Jack Davis, The Western Journal

A hearing in the case of Darrell Brooks, who is accused of plowing into a Christmas parade last year in Waukesha, Wisconsin, ended with the judge venting her frustrations over what she called “word games” being employed by the accused killer.
The hearing came in response to a motion from Brooks to represent himself. It ended with Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow walking off the bench after giving Brooks a deadline to file official paperwork to remove his public defender attorneys from the case.
Brooks is accused of killing six and wounding dozens in the Nov. 21, 2021, attack.
In a video of part of the hearing posted to YouTube, Dorow had her bailiff hand Brooks some documents. Brooks tried to talk over her.
“Nope. I’m talking, sir,” the judge said. “Listen Mr. Brooks. We are not; we are done here today.”

”I cannot make a finding at the point that you have an understanding of what you’re charged with, the nature of these proceedings,” she said.
“I am not going to get into a debate about whether you’re a sovereign citizen or not, or even whether you have any understanding of how the state is a plaintiff in this case.
“My sole reason for being here today is your motion through your attorneys to consider your request to represent yourself. You have demonstrated through this hearing that you don’t have a basic understanding of some of the things that are going on,” she said.
She said her lack of ability to decide was due in part to “the word games that you are employing.”
“You can roll your eyes all you want sir, I’m done,” she said.
As Brooks continued to speak, Dorow walked away from the bench saying, “this court’s in recess.”

Excellent point!

I'd call a recess,and say we will reconvene the case in 2 years when the defendent might be a tad more cooperative.

Why are they even giving him a chance to do this?

They have to eliminate every chance he might have to appeal over racism, etc.
Otherwise, he could get the conviction overturned on something technical.

Bending over backwards.
