Darrell Brooks
WAUKESHA, Wis. - The man responsible for the 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade attack wants more time for an appeal. Darrell Brooks killed six people and hurt dozens of others when he drove through the parade route.
Earlier this week, Brooks’ attorney filed a sixth extension to appeal the convictions. His defense attorney now has until Dec. 20 to file the necessary paperwork. Brooks' attorney previously cited the number of transcripts from the month-long trial as the reason for the delay.
Brooks was sentenced to life in prison after a jury convicted him on all 76 charges tied to the parade attack.
