Darrell Brooks, the man convicted of killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he drove into a Wisconsin Christmas parade last year, was sentenced Wednesday to six consecutive life sentences with no possibility of early release.

A jury convicted Brooks, 40, in October on all 76 counts after the deadly incident in Waukesha, west of Milwaukee, on Nov. 21, 2021. Six of the counts were first-degree intentional homicide.

The victims who were killed were 8 to 81 years old. More than 60 people were injured.

"The seriousness of the offense can be summed up frankly in one word, and that is ‘attack,'" Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow said.

Dorow said Brooks "used that vehicle as a battering ram" and struck people over several blocks, hitting them "as if they were nothing more than speed bumps."

Dorow also said Brooks showed a "complete and utter lack of remorse," barely apologizing and at times mocking victims with hand gestures or by rolling his eyes.

People applauded as each life sentence was read.

Sentencing began Tuesday as victims and family members spoke about the trauma they experienced and how they continue to suffer.
