(Waukesha) Darrell Brooks was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday without the possibility of parole for his role in killing six people and injuring dozens of others by driving an SUV through the Waukesha Christmas Parade last November.
After an hours-long hearing that began Tuesday, Judge Jennifer Dorow handed down the maximum penalty allowed by state law. Brooks was sentenced to life without parole for all six deaths, and an additional 762.5 years for the injuries suffered by others.
The victims who were killed are 79-year-old Virginia Sorenson, 71 year-old Leanna Owen, 52 year-old Jane Kulich, 81 year-old Wilhelm Hospel, eight-year-old Jackson Sparks and 52 year-old Tamara Durand. Durand lived in Beaver Dam for several years, known then as Tammy Frinak, and was a teacher in the community.
In October, a jury found Brooks guilty on six counts of First-Degree Intentional Homicide.
