The homicide trial for the man accused of intentionally driving his SUV through a crowd at a Wisconsin Christmas parade entered its fourth day on Thursday (6 October), and it's fair to say it has been an eventful one.
Darrell Brooks, 40, was identified as the driver of the car who plowed into a crowd of people during the Waukesha Christmas parade on 21 November last year.
The attack killed six people and injured more than a dozen.

Watch a slice of today's proceedings below:
Brooks made the headlines on Thursday (6 October) after he removed his shirt in court and continuously argued with the judge.
Judge Jennifer Dorow ordered Brooks to be removed from the courtroom to an adjacent room so the opening statements could be read out.

Prosecutors rejected the idea that Brooks was mentally incompetent and said his actions and arguing in the courtroom were simply to disrupt the proceedings.
They said: "These are deliberate actions on his part as we get closer and closer and closer to actually presenting this case to a jury, that he is attempting to derail these proceedings and avoid the inevitable."

Judge Dorow agreed with the prosecution, saying she believed 'it is the sole intent of Mr. Brooks to make a mockery of this process'.
However, Brooks' mother wrote to the judge to express her concerns that her son was not stable enough to defend himself.
According to an amended complaint, Brooks is charged with six counts of intentional homicide with the use of a dangerous weapon, and more than 60 counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and six counts of fatal hit and run.
Brooks is defending himself in court and has displayed similar antics on the previous three days of proceedings, too.

From the get-go, Brooks argued with the rulings from Judge Dorow and said that he didn't have enough time to prepare.

The judge said Brooks had to be removed within five minutes of proceedings starting on Monday (3 October).
Brooks allegedly launched the attack on the Christmas parade before fleeing the scene, with police eventually arriving and taking him into custody.
