Darrell Brooks Jr., the man convicted of killing six people when he plowed his red Ford SUV through a Christmas parade last year in Wisconsin, was sentenced on Wednesday to six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for each count of first-degree intentional homicide.
Brooks, 41, stared, glared, and disrupted Waukesha County Judge Jennifer R. Dorow as she delivered over an hour of emotional remarks before kicking him out of the courtroom. Brooks returned to the main courtroom nearly an hour later – and began loudly fighting with the jurist – before he was sent back to an adjacent room, where he learned his fate.
"There is nothing, no other word, that can best describe what happened on Nov. 21 of 2021 other than the word ‘attack,’" Dorrow said, disputing an argument Brooks had made earlier in this day. "I searched for a mitigating factor in this case. I waited patiently for an apology, a true apology. I didn't get it, and not for my benefit. But for the victims."
"There is no medication or treatment for a heart that is bent on evil," Dorow said. "Child trauma, bipolar, indifference, physical abuse of a child or even childhood trauma did not cause Darrell Brooks to commit the acts for which he will be sentenced here today. It is very clear to this court that he understands the difference between right and wrong, and that he simply chooses to ignore his conscience. He is fueled by anger and rage."
