Jury selection to begin in murder trial of suspect in suburban Chicago July 4 parade

Jury selection began for the trial of Robert Crimo III, the accused Highland Park parade shooter, on February 24, 2025, with the first three jurors selected.
Judge Victoria Rossetti asked potential jurors about their feelings on guns and their comfort with evidence from the July 4, 2022, shooting that killed seven people.
Crimo faces 70 counts related to the shooting, after prosecutors dropped 48 counts of aggravated battery without explanation.
Testimony is set to begin next Monday, following several delays influenced by Crimo's behavior and legal issues surrounding his rights during interrogation.
