Good morning from Waukesha.

According to a letter sent to Judge Jennifer Dorow by Dawn Woods (Darrell Brooks' mom) yesterday, three people plan to speak on his behalf:

- Dawn Woods (mom)
- Mary Edwards-Williams (Grandmother)
- Michele Allworth
This is a copy of an email sent to Dawn Woods saying "you should move, or we will move you."

She wrote to Dorow to redact her and the other speaking for #DarrellBrooks from public record, which Dorow agreed to yesterday.

Good morning from #Waukesha

It’s day 16 of the #DarrellBrooks trial, starting the fourth week of proceedings.

We could see Brooks take the stand today. We also could see his mom, Dawn Woods, to take the stand. #WaukeshaChristmasParade @SpectrumNews1WI
@SpectrumNews1WI Judge Dorow just asked #DarrellBrooks if he intends to call any witnesses today.

"I don't believe today..."

If his mom doesn't testify today, he will have to decide if he is or is not taking the stand.

He asked the judge if she received his inmate communication form from Sat
He said he forwarded them Saturday afternoon, but the state and judge have not received them. They're working to check

Good morning from Waukesha

It’s Day 5 of the #DarrellBrooks trial. Image
Deputy District Attorney Lesli Boese is asking if Judge Dorow can bring the juror that Brooks claimed gave him the finger at his initial appearance.

She wants that juror to put it on the record so Brooks can't keep raising that issue.
Dorow said there was a woman at the initial appearance who was warned by deputies, and was here in the gallery on Monday, and said she say "WITH CERTAINTY" that woman is not a juror.

Dorow doesn't think it's necessary to bring that juror up unless the state still wants.

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.

Day 1 of jury selection in #WaukeshaParade trial with defendant #DarrellBrooks representing himself. First thing this morning Brooks wouldn't stop interrupting the judge. She sent him back to his cell. Now he's back in the courtroom. No live stream of jury selection.
Now #DarrellBrooks has been brought back into the courtroom. He's in a suit. Judge is allowing us to take video without audio during jury selection. Brooks told the judge this morning he doesn't recognize the name Darrell Brooks, also complained he was sent too much paperwork.
Reminder: #DarrellBrooks is claiming to be a #SovereignCitizen. He's representing himself. They are supposed to start choosing a jury today but so far that isn't going well.
