Man pleads guilty to murder and attempted murder in shooting at suburban Chicago July 4 parade

An Illinois man, Robert E. Crimo III, pleaded guilty to 69 charges, including 21 counts of first-degree murder, related to a shooting at a July 4th parade in Highland Park that killed seven people and injured many more.
Judge Victoria Rossetti stated that with Crimo's plea change, there would be no trial, with sentencing scheduled for April 23.
Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart confirmed that Crimo's guilty plea was not part of a negotiation, and he received nothing in exchange for it.
Crimo's guilty plea was made freely without any deal, and he is expected to receive a mandatory life sentence for the first-degree murder charges.
