A Wisconsin man on Wednesday was found guilty of murder and other charges for killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he drove his SUV into a Christmas parade near Milwaukee last year.
The 12-person jury in Waukesha County convicted Darrell Brooks, 40, of six counts of intentional homicide. He faces life in prison when sentenced.
On numerous occasions during the three-week trial, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow admonished Brooks, who defended himself, for failing to follow court rules.
