A court judge broke down in tears during the sentencing of a man who killed six people by driving into them at a Christmas parade.
Jennifer Dorow described the case of Darrell Brooks as being ‘unlike anything that I have ever been a part of’ adding that it was ‘heart-wrenching.
The victims whose lives were lost were: Virginia Sorenson, 79, LeAnna Owen, 71, Tamara Durand, 52, Jane Kulich, 52, Wilhelm Hospel, 81, and Jackson Sparks, 8.The judge said the sentence was decided based on three factors: punishment, protection of the community, and ‘what I hope is justice and closure for the families and communities at large.
Cameras caught Brooks rolling his eyes while victim Jason Peckloff said ‘I almost lost the chance to see my wife and kids again.’
