Darrell Brooks Jr., the man charged in the deadly vehicle attack in Waukesha, Wisconsin, on Nov. 21 of last year, pleaded not guilty to all 77 counts he faces during a court appearance Friday.

"We’ve received copies of the information ... and we’re going to enter pleas of not guilty this morning," said Jeremy Perry, defense attorney.


During Brooks's appearance in court, his defense team also requested for a jury to be brought in from a different county. The state has not yet filed a response to the team's motion, but a judge will ultimately rule on the request, Fox 6 reported. In the meantime, Brooks, 39, is being held on $5 million bail.
