WAUKESHA, Wisc. — Darrell Brooks was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without the possibility for parole for driving his SUV into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin, last year, killing six people and injuring dozens more, after being removed twice from the courtroom for disrupting the proceedings.
"This community can only be safe if you are behind bars for the rest of your life," Judge Jennifer Dorow said in announcing her sentencing for the six counts of first-degree intentional homicide, which she said will be served consecutively.
"Some people unfortunately choose a path of evil. And I think, Mr. Brooks, you are one of those such persons," she continued."Those are images that frankly kept me up at night," she said. Prior to Dorow's sentencing, several people spoke on Brooks' behalf in Waukesha County court on Wednesday over Zoom, starting with his mother, Dawn Brooks.
Court-ordered examinations diagnosed Brooks with antisocial personality disorder, according to Dorow. Those killed were Tamara Durand, 52; Wilhelm Hospel, 81; Jane Kulich, 52; Leanna Owen, 71; Virginia Sorenson, 79; and Jackson Sparks, 8.
