Most simplest, mommy judge.

She is flustered AF by Brooks and his antics.

Yes, the whole "I don't see the binder" sitting a foot from him is insane. No one believes that. They really need to remove his ability to represent himself. It's his right but he clearly doesn't have the minimal level of competency needed to do so.
Then deem him mentally unfit to stand trial and lock him in a psych ward.

Otherwise, he has the right to torpedo his own case.

Just like they planned.

Memory hole

A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a website or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened.[1][2] The concept was first popularized by George Orwell's 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the Party's Ministry of Truth systematically re-created all potentially embarrassing historical documents, in effect, re-writing all of history to match the often-changing state propaganda. These changes were complete and undetectable.

Legit curious how this can not be a hate crime given the facts of the case. A black man murdered as many white adults and kids as he could precisely because they are white. It should be a textbook hate crime.

I would just say it would only be an unnecessary add-on... once he's convicted on the homicide counts he's already getting the max sentence of life without parole

she knows it's a trial of national interest and being almost overly differential to him to try & lessen the opportunity for appeal

I'm not sure that's how it's supposed to work. If a person has committed multiple crimes they should be charged on ALL of them. It's not like the judge will say "ok, he was found guilty of the first murder and will go to jail for life for that, so we'll drop the other murder charges because they don't matter". It's how people get to where they are to serve multiple life sentences.

There's also the optics of it...it implies that only white people can be racist and commit hate crimes (when was the last time a minority was charged with one?), which just furthers the division and belief that black people cannot be racist, so they act with impunity.

Which is stupid because this son of a bitch is going to appeal regardless.

Treat him like you would any other a-hole suspect.

I understand that... he's going to be convicted of all counts... he's going to get 6 life without parole sentences plus whatever gets added on for the other 71 counts

so all you'd be getting is the optics... and I guess the DA doesn't really care about fighting for that add-on just for optics

ETA: and yes I would like to have those optics too... but I understand why they aren't going for it

well... if you plan on watching the trial on Rekieta Law and his band of lawyer friends... you won't find him on YouTube

YouTube terminated his channel for some reason this evening

I had a family member who was in the pool. They work for a company who had an entry in the parade. Needless to say they were DQ'd with quick haste.

So testimony is scheduled to start today... but Brooks was served with something yesterday that will apparently require a ruling before testimony begins

Rekieta... before being terminated by YouTube... was saying he believes it's a motion to have Brooks ruled incompetent to serve as his own attorney and have a public defender represent him over a sure-to-come objection

She's counting interruptions like a fricking daycare teacher. For God sakes if she won't make the call to shut him up then get her arse off the bench.

Nah, frick that. We can't allow hate crime to get tacked on only when the colors line up a certain way. They are either all hate crimes, especially in ridiculously obvious cases like this, or none of them are.
