Bail For Christmas Parade Killer Darrell Brooks Set at $5 Million; 6th Homicide Charge Will Be Filed Later This Week With Several Other Charges Being Reviewed
Darrell Brooks, the radicalized black supremacist who intentionally sped his SUV through the crowd at the Waukesha Christmas parade, made his initial appearance in court on Tuesday for the horrific terror attack that killed 6 people and injured 60 more.
Brooks sat hunched over, restrained by handcuffs and a suicide prevention smock, as he was charged with five counts of first-degree intentional homicide and his bail was set for $5 million.
Court Commissioner Kevin Costello agreed with the prosecution’s request to set bail at $5 million, citing Brooks’ extensive criminal record that includes violent offenses and child sex crimes, his repeated pattern of jumping bail or resisting arrest, and the “shocking” nature of his latest offense.
