Good morning from Waukesha

Darrell Brooks is appearing in his jail jumpsuit, not a suit for opening statements.

He said he does not identify by the name Darrell Brooks, and has interrupted the judge twice now. #DarrellBrooks #WaukeshaChristmasParade @SpectrumNews1WI Image
@SpectrumNews1WI Judge: "Mr. Brooks, you do not have the right to interrupt the court. You will have an opportunity when I give you an opportunity."

Brooks: "I don't identify by that name."
Judge: "This is day 4, and every day Mr. Brooks has interrupted....that's another interruption. Stop Talking."

Brooks continues to talk over Judge Dorow.

Good afternoon from Waukesha

#DarrellBrooks is back in court today, as he and the prosecutors work through some legal stuff before opening statements tomorrow.

Brooks is back in his orange jumpsuit as there is no jury present today.

@SpectrumNews1WI You'll notice we have better camera angles starting today.

With @CourtTV providing pool cameras, the court allowed them to set up multiple cameras in the main courtroom, and have one set up in the side room where Brooks gets kicked to when he's disruptive.
