Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow is trending on social media after she showed extraordinary patience with Waukesha Christmas parade killer Darrell Brooks.
Brooks is charged with 77 counts, including six counts of first-degree murder in the Nov. 21, 2021 shootings that left six people dead, including children.
In this video, Judge Dorow is interrupted over 2 dozen times by Brooks who is representing himself in court.
He even interrupts her while she patiently explains why she’s allowing Brooks to act as his own lawyer.
At one point, Judge Dorow has Brooks removed from her courtroom to an adjoining empty courtroom where he is seen ranting and raving on a muted camera.
Judge Dorow has become an overnight sensation on the Law & Crime Network.
In one video, she explains that Brooks’ own mother wrote her a letter expressing her concern that he is representing himself in court.
Judge Dorow, a married mom, is a devout Christian who says a prayer before every court session.
“I am thankful that through the years, many of you in this room have prayed for me diligently,” she said when she was appointed to the bench, according to Patch. “Please, continue to do so. I am reminded of a verse from Micah, ‘He has shown you, oh man, what is good. What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.'”
“She understands people, she understands law and she is able to merge those two,” said Judge Michael Bohren, according to Patch.
