allowed to represent yourself in this case sir you will not have attorneys assisting you they are gone from this case do you understand that I think I will probably be better served representing myself throughout the trial Brooks was removed multiple times for constant interruptions and outbursts it was here that his real personality was shown when he starts to laugh during a witness testimony he told Erica that he was gonna find her and he's gonna kill her now back in the courtroom Brooks has an outburst as he didn't like how the district attorney pronounced the word defendant and now Brooks is clearly frustrated he decides to have the stare down with the judge I need to take a break this this man right now is having a stare down with me it's a very disrespectful he pounded

Smith Riley then shot at Brooks which killed her three days later Lord [Music] this is somebody that feels genuine remorse this is somebody that thinks about this every day and he knows it he can't go back in time and undo what he did now Portia Brook's mother delivers a victim impact statement but he killed me mentally emotionally he killed my identity as a mother of three as a family of four this is now Brooke's sister speaking I have to deal with life without portions so he should deal with life could help without parole this is moments right before Jaleel Smith Riley gets the news that he

three other inmates brutally murdered four Prison workers with hammers and scissors that man Michael Brady beat that man George [ __ ] like he was trying to bust concrete Brady then tried to hop a fence but then was captured at gunpoint it was like a bloodbath I stepped in between Jeffrey and Wendy and I slid trying to get in because the whole elevator floor was nothing but blood during the trial the prosecutors argued that bridge he was the one who planned the attack and had no remorse for the killings we know who originated the plan Mr Brady is found guilty he now takes the stand at his sentencing you can ask me anything you want I'm gonna tell the truth whether it hurts me whether it helps me I don't care about that if you don't believe you're crazy I don't think I'm crazy now

mouth to be taped shot that's what it is at a following court appearance Williams has something to share with the judge and cameras freedom of speech no duct tape with the hashtag aside from all the interruptions the judge can hand down William's sentence you face the potential maximum consecutive sense of 134 years I ordered for 24-year sentence after Williams received a 24-year prison sentence

and sentenced to 37 and a half years to life in prison but after spending over two decades in prison the former Witnesses admitted that they were pressured into testifying against ranta and now this
