Wisconsin doesn't have a death penalty. Could Darrell Brooks be convicted under federal hate crime laws and receive the death penalty?
"Under federal hate crime legislation, bias-motivated violence is punishable by ten years to life in prison, and some bias-motivated crimes are punishable by the death penalty. (18 U.S.C. §§ 245, 249.)"
