Darrell Brooks Verdict
Brooks was found guilty of the 76 charges against him in the attack. The jury took just over three hours. Six counts of first-degree intentional murder were included in the accusations. Each of these charges carries a mandatory life sentence.
Brooks looked down as the verdict was read. He hid his face in his hands and rubbed his forehead.
Brooks’ red Ford Blazer SUV, the Ford Blazer, ripped through the Christmas parade trial in 2021. It caused at least six deaths and at least 61 injuries. The victims were rescued by the authorities along with other citizens. They also started to search for the driver.
Before the verdict announcement, people wore blue Waukesha Strength sweatshirts. They gathered outside of the courtroom with their heads down, and their prayers unspoken.
