Darrell Brooks has been found guilty in all 76 counts connected to the Waukesha Christmas Parade attack. Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow read through all the guilty verdicts Wednesday morning.

He faces a mandatory life sentence for each of six first-degree intentional homicide convictions. The next hearing is set for Monday, to discuss when to schedule sentencing.

Here's a look at all of the counts.

First-degree intentional homicide, with use of a dangerous weapon (6 counts)

Brooks was charged with one for each of the six people he struck along the parade route who died from their injuries.

Recklessly endangering safety, with use of a dangerous weapon (61 counts)

These counts were for each of the people injured when Brooks drove his red 2010 Ford Escape through the parade on Nov. 21, 2021. The underlying charge carries a maximum initial prison term of 7 1/2 years, plus five more for the dangerous weapon enhancement.

Hit and run involving death (6)

These charges were also for each person killed. If the jury had found Brooks' lacked the intent required for conviction of first-degree intentional homicide, he could more easily been found guilty of this charge. It carries a penalty of 15 years in prison, plus 10 years of supervision.

Bail jumping (2)

The charges result from Brooks violating conditions of bail — not committing any new crimes — in two Milwaukee County cases that were pending at the time of the parade. In one domestic violence case, Brooks had been released on $1,000 bail five days before the parade attack.

Misdemeanor battery (1)

Brooks was convicted of a domestic violence incident with his ex-girlfriend prior to driving through the parade route on Nov. 21, 2021.
