A group of Milwaukee County residents has petitioned Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers to remove District Attorney John Chisholm from office for alleged “dereliction of duty.”

The residents blame Chisholm for allowing career criminal Darrell Brooks out of jail on $1,000 bail just two days before Brooks allegedly plowed his SUV into the Waukesha Christmas Parade, killing six people and injuring 61.
