Darrell Brooks sentencing: Applause breaks out in court as judge imposes multiple life sentences

It is considered that there may be intersecting mental health issues related to his personality disorder, but those issues may be best addressed in a confined setting where, by law, the Department of Corrections will have to evaluate him and provide him with any medical or treatment. mental health care you need. This is a case that falls directly on the need to protect the community. I mentioned this before. There are actually three main reasons for the

sentences

I will impose here today: one is punishment, one is to protect the community, and the other is to provide justice and closure. the victims because under that category of need to protect the

court

can consider the impact of these crimes on the victims.

I went into great detail when reviewing all of those Victim Impact Statements. I certainly didn't go through each and every one of them, I just highlighted a few. of them, but doing it with a purpose because it is very clear to this

court

that Mr. Brooks has caused Carnage Mayhem, has resulted in many people suffering Pete from PTSD from a mental and emotional trauma that will take a

life

time to recover from and to some perhaps if you have at all taken away future memories from these individuals they will never have birthdays with the six individuals who were murdered there will be no weddings there will be no graduations there will be none of the milestones that these families hoped for, whether for an innocent eight year old child or an innocent 79 year old, frankly Mr.

Brooks, no one is safe from you, this community can only be safe if you are behind bars for the rest of your

life

, Daryl Brooks' actions demand punishment, the community en You are not safe from your violent and criminal behavior unless you are in custody, you left a path of destruction, chaos, death, injury, confusion and panic as you drove approximately seven blocks through the Christmas parade, without stopping or just once or apparently worrying about the wake of Carnage you left behind. four of those blocks became a scene that, frankly, is no different than a war zone.

On counts one through six, this court is imposing a sentence of life imprisonment without possibility or eligibility for extended supervision, consecutive to each other. A life sentence for Virginia Sorensen. A life sentence. sentence for Leanna Owen a life sentence for Tamara Durand a life sentence for Jane Kulik a life sentence for bill has Hospital and a life sentence for Jackson Sparks I have considered the enhancer and the additional five years it could impose but I don't. I really need to order that because I have not made him eligible for extended supervision and it would only increase his time in initial confinement, but make no mistake Mr.

Brooks, you use that vehicle as a battering ram, it is no different than , frankly, a firearm. 7 to 67 these are 61 counts of first degree recklessly endangering safety. These charges alone in these

sentences

without the enhancer carry a maximum of 12 and a half years due to the enhancer a total of 17 and a half years and under Wisconsin law five years. is added to the initial period of confinement so what could be seven and a half years is a maximum of 12 and a half years and I would ask that no one show any reaction to the sentence so that we can overcome this on count 7. to 67 for each charge, I will impose a total sentence of 17 and a half years, 12 and a half years of initial confinement plus five years of extended supervision consecutive to any other sentence that I have imposed here today, which is 762 and a half years. of initial confinement and 305 years of extended supervision in addition to the life sentences that I have imposed, that is, 17 and a half years sir for Nicole White, 17 and a half years for Eleanor Andrews Anders, excuse me, 17 and a half years for Sasha Catalan.

I know it's symbolic, but it should hold you accountable in a very real and tangible way for all of these. sentences that I have imposed I will order the following conditions no contact with the victims identified in the amended victim code or their families no contact of any kind with Erica Patterson
