WISCONSIN - Grieving relatives of those injured and killed when a man drove through a Christmas parade near Milwaukee last year confronted the driver with anger and tears on Tuesday during the first day of a two-day sentencing hearing.

The sentencing hearing began on Tuesday morning when relatives of those killed and injured along with victims who survived the incident told the court about their loved ones and confronted Brooks, who wore orange prison clothing and a surgical mask over his nose and mouth as he sat at a courtroom table.

“I feel gutted and broken. It hurts to breathe sometimes,” she added through tears. “This man not only took Jackson away from our family, he violently ripped Jackson out of our lives.” At least 36 people were expected to make statements during the hearing. Brooks, a Milwaukee resident who represented himself during the three-week trial, told the court last month that he expected about 20 people to speak on his behalf, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
