Fox News Digital spoke with experts about potential legal action from the Waukesha Christmas parade victims for the handling of Darrell Brooks
Darrell Brooks is escorted out of the courtroom after making his initial appearance Tuesday in Waukesha County Court in Waukesha, Wisconsin.
Turley said that though the tragedy is recent and more investigation needs to be done, it’s possible the city was negligent in securing the safety of the parade. An investigation will also examine whether safety standards were met during the incident, Turley said, and that police departments have regulations on the placement of vehicles and barriers during such events.
He was first freed in February on $500 after allegedly shooting at his nephew in the summer of 2020. He was out on a $1,000 bail just this month after a woman accused him of punching her and running her over with the same SUV that was allegedly used in the attack on Sunday. Brooks’ has an extensive criminal history dating back to 1999, including being convicted of statutory sexual seduction in 2006 after having sex with a 15-year-old girl in Nevada, who became pregnant. He had to register as a sex offender and received three years of probation.
