Going over the file, the names of the victims have been sealed, brooks is currently in lock up at the court house and since he can't hope to make bail (Wisconsin requires the full $5mil in order for him to walk, not 500k), he'll likely be moved to prison before Christmas. Hopefully.

>WAUKESHA, WI— Don't judge a book by its cover is a philosophy a Waukesha County judge takes to heart in the courtroom and outside it. Patch asked readers to name inspirational women for Women's History Month, and Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Laura Lau's name came up.
>Lau said people assume judges are raised with a silver spoon in their mouths. "Everybody thinks [people in power] came in on a cloud with rainbows," she told Patch. Lau said people have this view that judges come from a prestigious lineage of people in judicial power. But if you look at Lau's history, you can see that is not the case.
>"I like to think I have one foot in the blue-collar world and the white-collar profession," she said.
If Brooks walks because of a sympathetic judge and an incompetent prosecution that literally has video evidence of him ramming the crowd, he'll be lynched within a day.
