Testimony in the Darrell Brooks trial shifted for the prosecution team on Tuesday as the state began to focus its case on the six fatal victims of the November 2021 Waukesha Christmas Parade attack, calling seven witnesses.
Brooks questioned Ramirez on cross-examinationState says they won't need an interpreter; says they will have Brooks' witness who needs an interpreter ready to testify Wednesday afternoonBrooks allowed to submit 13th subpoena by Wednesday morningThe first person prosecutors called to the stand Tuesday was Kelly Grabow, who was walking in the Waukesha Christmas Parade with her daughter when they were hit and injured.
He said the SUV did not stop. He said shortly after impact, someone said shots were fired, so he and two of his three kids went into a nearby antique store before he went back outside to look for Riley, his missing daughter. He then saw Jackson Sparks on the ground; someone giving CPR to the boy. There was then a discussion about the lunch break and what witnesses the state would be calling next. Judge Dorow wanted to keep going. The state said they would need to call a witness out of order because their other witness wasn't in court, anticipating the lunch recess.At this point, Brooks told the judge he didn't understand what she meant by "sovereign things."
Prosecutors showed Gajewski slowed-down video of the SUV driving through the parade. In that video, when asked by the state, Gajewski identified"I picked her up as soon as her body was in front of me," Gajewski said. "I didn't know if there was going to be a bunch of cars – I just wanted to get her out of the way."Waukesha Xtreme Dance TeamCourt addresses Brooks' hearsay objections"Your hearsay objections are not hearsay," said Judge Dorow.
Brooks brought up another case just before the jury was brought back in related to subject matter jurisdiction. Dorow ordered him to put a motion in writing and follow proper procedure. She said girls who weren't injured ran to the sidewalk, and she tried to reunite some with their parents. Then she said she "heard there was an active shooter," so they went into Chef Pam's Kitchen."It was an SUV," she said. "I identify all vehicles as cars.""Gathering the girls, a man came up to me and said that," said Sutton.
Video was played, slowed down and paused. Carpenter explained the dropping of points using the video. Wittchow had the video played from 0:16 to 0:17, pointing out 26 frames in question were within that timeframe. Carpenter said "yes." Brooks asked if Carpenter had used this process before, and he said not in a live case but he had done it "a number of times." Brooks then asked the difference between a live case and any other case.
Brooks asked about any learning curve, and Carpenter said no. That's when Carpenter noted his more than 1,500 hours of training. Before the afternoon break, Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper noted they were "behind" in their case.Debora Ramirez, Waukesha Christmas Parade attendee, testifies
"I chose to wait until the next day since I knew I was hurt, but I did not need immediate attention as other people did," she said. On redirect, Wittchow asked Ramirez which group was in front of her when the SUV got to her, and she said the Waukesha Xtreme Dance Team. She said the girls got hit, and she saw the aftermath. After that, Judge Dorow asked Brooks to explain his intent to object to an exhibit; a screenshot with comments on it. Brooks asked if they could cut it out. The judge said the jury could ask to see exhibits during deliberations, and she would make a determination at that time.
