Letters, Lies, and the Stand

As the trial of Joseph Brooks unfolds, the courtroom becomes a battleground between confession and contradiction. In this episode of The D-Lo Show, host Ryan “D-Lo” DeLozier walks us through the pivotal testimony, the emotional letters from jail, and the shifting defense strategy that tried to cast doubt on a seemingly clear case.

Brooks takes the stand and tells a story of regret and suicide — but does the forensic evidence support his version? And how did the jury weigh his words against the cold, hard facts?

This episode examines the emotional and legal climax of a tragic case, exploring the blurred lines between remorse, manipulation, and justice.
