Darrell Brooks, the man convicted of killing six people and injuring dozens more when he drove through a Christmas parade in Wisconsin last year, was sentenced to six consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Brooks was convicted of 76 charges against him, including six counts of first-degree intentional homicide.

"This community can only be safe if you are behind bars for the rest of your life," Judge Jennifer Dorow said during the sentencing hearing.

"It is very clear to this court that he understands the difference between right and wrong, and he simply chooses to ignore his conscious," Dorow said. "He is fueled by anger and rage."

"Some people, unfortunately, choose a path of evil. And I think, Mr. Brooks, you are one of those such persons," she continued.

Dorow chastised Brooks for failing to show remorse for his actions.

"I waited for a true apology. I didn't get it," she said. "Not for my benefit, but for the victims."
