gloria allred claims that the woman had a romantic relationship with walker and he pressured her to haveortion in 1993, the woman will not identify herself. she said today she decided to tell her story now to highlight what she says is walker's hypocrisy. walker denies a previous allegation from a woman who accused him of writing a check to have an abortion. walker has called this latest allegation a lie. darrell brooks, the man accused of killing 6 people at a wisconsin christmas parade has been found guilty on 6 counts of first-degree intentional homicide. this attack happened last year. well, prosecutors say the brooks drove his suv into a crowd, killing 6 people and injuring more than a dozen others. brooks represented himself during the court hearing. some pleaded not guilty to more than 70 different charges. the jury deliberated for about 3 hours before reaching a verdict. so now he faces a mandatory life sentence for each in michigan, 3 men have now been convicted of supporting a plot to kidnap governor gretchen whitmer. joe morrison. pete musco paul bill are were all found guilty

in terms of this allegation, what gloria allred presented yesterday was evidence of some of the relationshipween this unnamed woman who they are identifying only as jane doe and herschel walker, not direct evidence of an abortion. she presented some documents that she said were greeting cards sent to this woman, signed by herschel walker. she signed reporters a photo of herschel walker on a hotel bed. she said this woman took and a voicemail that he left her at some point. she claims this abortion happened in 1993. she said that herschel walker drove her to an abortion clinic, and encouraged her to have an abortion and paid for it. nbc news has not been able to verify the claims and documents, and herschel walker is denying it his supporters seem unfazed. there's 200 people here on a weekday. and for the people here, at least, this is not something that seems like it's going to sway their support of this candidate. >> cornell, if you could pick up on that. i have folks coming to me and saying how is it that herschel walker is competitive in this case, considering the allegations that have be
