The man accused of killing seven people and wounding dozens more in a shooting at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago pleads not guilty, a week after prosecutors announced he faces 117 felony counts in the attack.
Robert E. Crimo III appears for a brief hearing in Lake County’s circuit court to enter a formal plea to the charges — 21 counts of first-degree murder, 48 counts of attempted murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery representing those killed and wounded during the parade in Highland Park.
Crimo wears a COVID-19 face mask throughout the 10-minute arraignment and repeatedly tells Judge Victoria Rossetti that he understands the charges and potential penalties he faces, including life imprisonment.
