However, the antics continued as he removed his shirt, putting his back to the camera.
"He took his shirt off as well and I'm also told that he is threatening to throw and break items," Judge Dorow noted. https://t.co/ceGXsVF4yK

He threatened to throw and break items nearby. He then took off his shoe and refused to sit down.
Judge Dorow believes his actions are an attempt at delaying his trial.
Brooks is staring down the barrel at six first degree intentional homicide charges and 61 counts of reckless endangerment.
This could see him handed down a punishment of life behind bars.
