The driver of an SUV who plowed through a Milwaukee area Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring dozens of others, was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday.
Brooks spoke softly and slowly as he addressed the court before his sentencing.
But, he added:"It's not me who can take any pain away, replace what is lost and bring back joy. I think all that comes with belief in Christ, and all that comes with time. It's a process that we all have to go through." Addressing prosecutors, particularly Waukesha County District Attorney Sue Opper, Brooks said he wanted to take the"high road" while expressing his frustrations about some of their statements."It's not easy being in the most hated man on this planet," he said, adding later,"I'm a human being, not a monster.
Speaking remotely via Zoom, Woods called her son"broken" but said he wasn't uncaring, despite his courtroom actions and the charges he faced. "I have been dealing with mental illness for some 30-odd years now, and here's my take on it," Woods said."Jail is not the answer."
