Darrell Brooks trial: Opening statements begin Thursday

Darrell Brooks, Judge Jennifer Dorow, and the jury are back in a Waukesha courtroom today as opening statements are scheduled to begin in the trial of Darrell Brooks. Right off the bat, Brooks was removed from the courtroom and placed in a separate room, where he proceeded to take off his shirt. Brooks is accused of killing six and injuring dozens during the 2021 Waukesha Christmas Parade. Opening statements come after Brooks motioned for an adjournment Wednesday, claiming he is on COVID-19 protocol. Judge Dorow denied the motion and continued with proceedings. https://www.tmj4.com/news/local-news/opening-statements-begin-thursday-in-darrell-brooks-trial
