Darrell Brooks, 40, received six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole on Wednesday for driving an SUV through a crowd at the Waukesha, Wisconsin, Christmas parade last year, killing six victims and injuring 61 others.
The aspiring rap artist was convicted on October 26 on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and 61 counts of reckless endangerment, bond jumping, and battery for a total of 76 charges.
When Waukesha County Judge Jennifer R. Dorow handed down each life sentence, reading the names of each victim, the courtroom applauded. He was also sentenced to 17.5 years in prison on each endangerment count.
