MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Someone who was hit by the man convicted in last year’s Christmas parade crash says the verdict will help all the victims heal. Darrell Brooks was found guilty Wednesday of all 76 charges, including six counts of first-degree intentional homicide. He drove into the parade in suburban Milwaukee after fleeing a domestic disturbance with an ex-girlfriend. Tyler Pudleiner was performing with a high school band when he was hit. He says “one of the things that I’ve said throughout this is we’re stronger” than Brooks. The defendant was removed from the courtroom at times during his trial for outbursts and confrontational exchanges with the judge.
