Accused Christmas Parade Killer Pleads Insanity

Thursday, June 30th, 2022 -- 11:01 AM

(Terry Bell, WRN) The suspect last year’s Waukesha Christmas parade attack is changing his plea to not guilty by reason of mental defect.

If three psychiatrists uphold the assertion by Derrell Brooks, Junior’s defense team, his lawyers would then need to prove their client didn’t know right from wrong the day he drove an S-U-V through a parade crowd, killing six people and injuring dozens more.

The determination from the doctors is due in August. Brooks’ trial is set to start in October.
