Days before the parade incident, Brooks had been released on the light bail after he was charged with striking the mother of his child with the same SUV used in the parade attack.  Chisholm attempted to lay the blame for Brooks’ light bail at the feet of a rookie prosecutor identified as Michelle Grasso.  He said that when setting Brooks’ $1,000 bail two weeks before the parade attack, Grasso saw that his most recent prior bail was $500 so she decided to double that. Chisholm also said that Grasso did not have access to risk management data that would have likely led to her deciding to keep him in jail.<ref>https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10331061/Group-seeks-oust-prosecutor-Wisconsin-parade-crash.html</ref>
