Darrell Brooks, who was convicted last week on six counts of first-degree intentional homicide and 70 other charges related to the Waukesha Christmas parade massacre, will be sentenced on Nov. 15 and 16 for the crimes, Judge Jennifer Dorow said Monday. 

Victims and their families will be able to address the court and Brooks, who faces mandatory life in prison for each of the six homicide counts. 

He was also convicted on 61 counts of reckless endangerment, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 17 1/2 years in prison.
