Tuesday, November 1st, 2022 -- 12:01 PM

(Bob Hague, WRN) Sentencing for the convicted Waukesha Christmas Parade attacker will take place in two weeks.

Judge Jennifer Dorow said Monday that Darrell Brooks, who was convicted last week on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and 70 other charges related to the November 2020 SUV attack on the parade route, will be sentenced November 15 and 16.

Prosecutors said they expect more than 30 victims to speak at sentencing, which could take up to four and a-half hours. Brooks said "20 or more" people would speak on his behalf. Brooks, who has said he plans to appeal, faces mandatory life prison sentences for each of the six homicide counts.
