Brooks told the judge in a rambling speech that he grew up fatherless, poor and hungry in apartment buildings infested with rats and bugs.
A man who killed six people and injured many others when he drove his SUV through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with no chance of release.
Brooks drove his red Ford Escape through the parade in downtown Waukesha on Nov. 21, 2021, after getting into a fight with his ex-girlfriend. Six people were killed, including an 8-year-old boy who was marching with his baseball team, as well as three members of a group known as the Dancing Grannies. Scores of others were injured.
"People are going to, like I said, believe what they want, and that's OK. This needs to be said: What happened on Nov. 21, 2021, was not, not, not an attack. It was not planned, plotted," Brooks said, adding later:"This was not an intentional act. No matter how many times you say it over and over, it was not.""I want you to know that not only am I sorry for what happened, I'm sorry that you could not see what's truly in my heart," he said.
"If they have to stay for the rest of their lives away from society at least they're getting the help they need to become mentally well," Woods said.Dorow spent most of Tuesday listening to dozens of victims demand Brooks get the maximum possible sentence.
