Who else watches this until they fall asleep? I can’t be alone in this.

"It's unfair and insensitive" Says the man that plowed down a crowd of people. I hope he never sees the light of day.

[TruthSerum-esfx]

I have never hated a human being more in my life.

[ethanibarra]

The best line ever in this trial…
“Your ignorance of the law is NOT a defense!”

[Cochise]

"I see what's going on...and it ain't gonna work."- Darrell Brooks
You had no clue what was going on, and it did work.

[sns]

The mental gymnastics this man is going through to get away with murder is unreal. His lack of remorse is sickening

[BreakingSWTM]

The judge gave him this so he could NEVER win an appeal

[AntiHeroLBC]

if I was the court reporter, I would be questioning my life's choices here

[lizm]

How he managed to speak for 50 minutes without saying a thing is a mystery to me.

[Erika-qkbd]

The poker face that bailiff has sitting behind him is worthy of an award. I would be rolling my eyes and heavy sighing so much I’d be fired

[NorwegianG]

He’s really making sure he’s never going to get an appeal. Good job

[tgas]

He wants her to respond so badly. I love it when she ignores him!

[jenchapman]

“The prosecution didn’t help me with my defence case” has me HOWLING

[Deathcylance]

This guy is a prime example of the old idiom
"Sometimes it's better to shut your mouth and look stupid, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

[edithboozy]

The real MVP in all of this is the bailiff whos face is constantly on screen and who manages not to make faces or roll his eyes after everything DB says. Ninja level stuff. 😂

[deanknight]

Judge Dorrow's silence is deafening 😅😅

[shpresa]

It’s comical how smart he thinks he is

[sinpoledancing]

He’s trying to gaslight the court. What a narcissistic waste of air.
My heart goes out to the families that are having to endure this

[toggtlas]

-I'm being rushed to judgment, I demand a stay of the proceedings, I need more time to prepare my defense.
-My rights to a speedy trial has been violated because this took too long.

👀
Can't even keep his own story straight.

[Junio]

Was he really expecting the judge to say, "You're right, sir, you're free to go. Sorry for the inconvenience”?
