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

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.

IN THIS THREAD: an answer to the question many are asking about why the suspect in #waukeshaChristmasParade tragedy was not held in this case without bail. I know we see that move a lot on @lawandordertv but it's not that simple.
I connected with both an active local judge, and local defense attorney who confirm it is possible to hold someone without bail in Wisconsin, but it's judicially tricky. There are burdensome legal hurdles.
In this case, prosecution requested and court commissioner granted, an unreachably high bail ($5 million... same as Jeffery Dahmer got) to achieve the same end more expediently.
