STORYLINE:
An Illinois man pleaded guilty Monday to killing seven people and injuring dozens more when he opened fire on a 2022 Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, a stunning development moments before opening statements in his trial on murder and attempted murder charges.
On Monday, Judge Victoria Rossetti read the charges to Robert Crimo III and asked questions to be sure he understood before accepting the plea. He was sitting next to his lawyers wearing a dark suit.
“Our community may never heal from the defendant’s calculated and heinous actions that destroyed so many lives,” Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart told reporters after court. “He received nothing in exchange for his plea. We were 1000% ready to go to trial and prove him guilty to the jury. We have been working for years to prepare our evidence.”
A memorial garden to the victims was established in the city of Highland Park, where the shooting took place on July 4, 2022.
