Witness testimony resumed Monday morning, Oct. 17 in the Darrell Brooks trial, charged in the November 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack.
The state hoped to wrap up its case Monday, however, due to interruptions from Brooks, there was more testimony. Judge Jennifer Dorow said a juror called in Monday morning not feeling well, and that juror was excused, impacting the selection of alternates.
"He was wearing a T-shirt. No shoes. Sweating. His eyes were huge. He was just acting -- when he came out from the garage, he asked if I could call him an Uber," Backler said. On cross, Backler said he called the non-emergency line to report this encounter.Backler added, "I was positive it was you.""Would it be fair to say I’m not 5'9' and 160 pounds?" Brooks asked, referring to Backler's earlier testimony.
Caproon positively identified Brooks as the man he met in his driveway. He testified he remembered a tattoo above Brooks' eye. Caproon later indicated he provided police with his phone so investigators could see who Brooks called on that date. Domanic Caproon's phone used to make a call by Darrell Brooks after parade attack
Cordes also testified Brooks was cold and asked her and her husband where there was a place he could warm up.On cross, Brooks asked Cordes if she could see into the red SUV or if the shots that were fired hit the vehicle. She said she could not see into the SUV, and she said she was running toward a house right after the shots were fired, so she didn't see whether the vehicle was hit. Before the next witness took the stand, Brooks and Dorow sparred over subject matter jurisdiction again.
"I received a message back," said Winters. "They were calling a ride for someone else. They didn’t know who he was.""I got out of the car, knocked on the door, sent a message saying there was no one around," Winters testified. Daniel Rider, Brooks showed up at his doorstep"There was a man who rang my Ring doorbell, said he was homeless and cold and needed my phone," Rider said.
Rider said he asked him to go into the back door because he just got back from hunting. He said he gave Brooks a coat and a phone, and he stayed for around 10 minutes. "I heard a broadcast there had been shots fired," said Carpenter. "Squads on my channel…started to say they were placing injured people and taking them to the hospital."From there, Carpenter responded to Elizabeth Street after hearing there was a man going door-to-door asking for people's phones to call an Uber. She said she and other officers started looking for this person.
No weapons were found during a search of Brooks, who was taken to a squad car because he "was not dressed for the weather."Carpenter testified Brooks was wearing "jogging pants." On cross, Brooks questioned Carpenter about whether the pants the suspect was wearing in the body camera video were really blue jeans."Do you recall writing the subject was being detained for investigative purposes…" asked Brooks.
Luling identified that subject as "Darrell Brooks." He identified "Darrell Brooks" as the defendant. Opper asked Luling if there was any significance to that name. Luling said he knew Officer Moss, who previously testified, had checked the red SUV, finding documentation belonging to a Darrell Brooks.Luling said he searched Brooks before he was placed into a squad. He said he found a "black Ford key.
Brooks asked Luling what the person being detained was wearing. He stated a red T-shirt and blue jeans. Brooks asked if they were jogging pants. Luling confirmed they were blue jeans."You were being detained for being involved in a crash in the downtown area," said Luling. "I was confident that you were involved with that vehicle in the crash in the downtown area," said Luling.
Brooks then went into his usual questioning about whether the witness filed a claim in the matter, who subpoenaed him, if he knows anyone who filed a complaint and whether an entity is a "living, breathing human."After the afternoon break, there was a discussion about scheduling, and the state indicated at that time they were looking at resting Wednesday, potentially.
As they drove, Leija said Brooks, noticing the police presence due to the parade response, said, "Damn, it looks like they’re dealing with something heavy." Brooks asked if he was given information on the suspect being questioned, and Leija said he could not recall. "The descriptions… were comparable, nearly identical to the descriptions I was hearing for the driver in the parade incident," said Carpenter.
He was asked if he had any information about the vehicle used when coming in contact with the suspect. Carpenter was shown a still image from "the middle of the parade" and identified the driver of the red SUV as Darrell Brooks. "Mr. Brooks told us his shoulder was injured when he was arrested. He indicated the arresting officers slammed him to the ground," said Carpenter.
"Due to the mass amount of casualties… it was very busy," said Carpenter. "Many of the victims were taken to alternate hospitals because Waukesha Memorial could not handle the number of patients that were coming in.""Based on his body language, his tone of voice, his attitude, you’d have never known he’d done something, or he was in custody for doing something so serious…" said Carpenter.
