Woman defends 'best friend' Darrell Brooks in court ahead of sentencing

Michele Allworth was one of a handful of people who spoke on behalf of Darrell Brooks on day 2 of his sentencing on November 16th, 2022. Allworth met Brooks nearly 20 years ago when they both lived in Nevada. She referred to Brooks as her “best friend,” and said that they became “brother and sister” to each other over time. “I will always have his back, even with this tragic event,” Allworth said.
