This animal, who fired his public defenders, argued with the judge, and disrupted the trial enough to get tossed out of the courtroom at least once, deserves the needle.
Stupid is as stupid does. Brooks even argued with the judge. Morons like this guy drag the rest of the human race down at least 3 notches.
Once the first and only appeal is reviewed and the appeals court upholds the verdict and the sentence, on the very next day, Brooks needs to meet his maker.
I see no purpose in keeping this animal alive any longer than absolutely necessary.
