The court empaneled a 16-member jury Tuesday in the Darrell Brooks trial; 10 men, six women, all white. This, after Brooks refused to cooperate with the peremptory challenge process, and the court clerk had pick random juror numbers to be stricken from a tumbler on Brooks' behalf.

Shortly after 9 a.m., when the cameras to the courtroom were allowed back on, the judge clearly explained why Brooks was placed in the other courtroom. Dorow indicated Brooks was muted in the proceedings, and she noted he appeared to be yelling in the secondary courtroom. Judge Dorow proceeded with the jury selection process until around 11:20 a.m. when there was another break. At that point, the judge asked if Brooks wanted to come back into the main courtroom.
Judge Dorow asked Brooks shortly after 1:30 p.m. if he wanted to come back to the main courtroom, and Brooks refused. He later stated he had difficulty hearing in one ear, and Judge Dorow noted it was the first the court knew of any hearing problem. The judge issued him a headset to wear. Dorow again warned Brooks he would be removed from the courtroom if he continued with his disruptions."You’re requesting to go to the other courtroom?" asked Judge Dorow.
Around 3 p.m., the court was in recess, preparing to bring in all prospective jurors who had taken part in questioning Monday or Tuesday. The judge allowed Brooks the chance to strike a potential juror each time, and each time, he continued to cross off all of the numbers.
