Robert Crimo III backed out of deal in court Wednesday after prosecutors say he agreed to plead guilty to seven counts of first-degree murder in connection with the mass shooting in 2022. “It's heartbreaking, and it shouldn't be happening,” activist Ashbey Beasley told reporters afterward.
The plea deal, if it's accepted by Judge Victoria Rossetti, could bring closure to the criminal case against Robert Crimo III sooner than expected.
Robert Crimo III is accused of killing seven people and wounding 48 others in a mass shooting on July 4, 2022.
For the first time since the attack, the city of Highland Park will hold its July 4 parade this year. The city held a march along the route in 2023 instead of a traditional parade.
