WISCONSIN (WTAQ-WRN) — The man sentenced to life in prison for the 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack appeared in Milwaukee County court Thursday.
Darrell Brooks was at a status hearing for pending cases. According to prosecutors, the cases involve his running over the mother of his child, later intimidating the same woman, and shooting at someone during a fight. In the first case mentioned, Brooks was released on $1,000 bond just before the parade attack.
Defense Attorney Michael Hart said though Brooks is incarcerated for life, the court action in these cases is in connection to victims’ rights.
“Closure, they believe that emotionally, it helps them.” said Hart.
Brooks has filed notice to appeal his Waukesha conviction.
