WAUKESHA, Wis. — A sentencing hearing for Darrell Brooks, the man convicted of murdering six people after driving his SUV through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin, was briefly suspended Tuesday due to a threat made on the Waukesha courthouse, the judge said.
Brooks was also briefly removed from the courtroom due to what Judge Jennifer Dorow described as his"defiant behavior" during the proceedings.
"County offices are conducting business as usual," Farrow said on Twitter."If you are in the Courthouse, you may notice an increased presence of law enforcement personnel.""I am confident that we can go forward at this time," she said.Brooks, 40, was found guilty last month on all 76 counts, including six counts of first-degree intentional homicide, for barreling his SUV into a Christmas parade on Nov. 21, 2021.
"Although I am grateful to have received a chance to continue and to make something out of my life for the better, I get haunted by those thoughts," she continued. Several parents detailed the pain and injuries their children have suffered as a result of Brooks' actions. Chris Owens remembered his mother, Leanna"Lee" Owen, one of the Dancing Grannies in the parade who was killed, while addressing Brooks' behavior during the victim statements.
