Witness testimony resumes Monday morning in the Darrell Brooks trial, charged in the November 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack.
. This, after an eventful first week of the trial that saw repeated disruptions from the defendant, prompting him to be moved from the main courtroom every day, starting moments after jury selection began.
To begin the day, Judge Jennifer Dorow asked the prosecution team if they were still on track to wrap up their case within the five to seven days which had been indicated at the beginning of the trial. Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper said the plan right now is to have the state's case wrap up on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning. As new testimony and information is revealed in Monday's proceedings, FOX6 News will update this post.
The prosecution laid out its case in opening statements. Brooks said he did not have enough time to prepare – so the prosecution called the first two witnesses. Friday was the first full day of testimony, and Brooks remained in the main courtroom most of Friday. He again wore his orange jail uniform. The state called six additional people to testify Friday. Erika Patterson, Brooks' ex-girlfriend, was the first to testify. She testified she met Brooks when she was 15, that they had been together "off and on" over the years and that they have a teenage daughter together.
