WAUKESHA, Wis. – Darrell Brooks spoke for the first time Tuesday since allegedly plowing his red SUV into an annual Christmas parade, killing six people. 

He joined a virtual Milwaukee court conference by phone from the Waukesha County Jail where he's being held on $5 million bond for the shocking attack on holiday revelers. 

"Can you hear Mr. Brooks?" asked the court clerk. 

"Yes," he replied.

It was the only word he spoke during the brief video conference – he was the sole participant to join by phone. 

His lawyer, Joseph Domask requested the hearing so he could withdraw from the case, citing too many relationships with victims of Brooks' Nov. 21 rampage that injured more than 60 people.

Judge David Feiss granted Domask's motion to withdraw on the two cases. Domask had represented Brooks in a Nov. 2 incident in which he ran over his ex-girlfriend leaving tire marks on her legs.
