Dad guilty of falsifying shooter's permit app, will be jailed.

Police had reports Crimo III had threatened his family, and that police had received reports of the boy threatening to commit suicide, and that he 'had expressed an interest in committing a mass shooting' in 2014 or 2015.

Under the plea deal, Crimo Jr. is admitting he was aware his son 'was a substantial risk to others' when he signed Crimo III's FOID card application, Rinehart said.



Sorry, @Puzzles8 , missed your post!
 
Robert Crimo Jr (the father) has just accepted a plea deal which includes 60 days of jail time.

"By sending him to jail it sends a strong message to others" - from press conference going on now.

60 days is rather a symbolic punishment IMO.

But better than nothing.

RIP to all innocent victims :(

He got a pretty good deal. He should also be banned from owning or using a firearm for the rest of his life. JMO

Why the delay?
3 years after the crime.
 

The suspected Highland Park, Illinois, mass shooter declined to change his plea to guilty at a Wednesday hearing, crushing victims' families who watched on in the courtroom.

Crimo was expected to plead guilty to seven counts of murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm at the hearing, according to The Associated Press. Instead, the 23-year-old rejected the agreement, which would have sentenced him to life.

Crimo is scheduled for trial in February 2025.

Many prayers for the victim's families today. The victim's families were expecting to speak in the courtroom day. I can't imagine their angst, pain and disappointment tonight. They had prepared for this day and I'm sure had rehearsed their statements for weeks. This would have been been such an important step in finding closure.

The two year anniversary of the massacre is next week.

"This new development is a huge blow to the families who had expected to close this chapter before the two-year mark of the shooting which is about a week away.
Attorney Antonio Romanucci who represents some of the victims of the shooting called it pure evil.
"This was a calculated effort on his part to continue the suffering that our clients are going through," Romanucci said. "There are many attorneys here today representing clients and we know, we feel also the suffering they are going through, the hardship of what's happening and it's absolutely disgusting.""

What a horrible, evil person. He stands to gain nothing by doing this.
 
BBM
He gains control. I think that’s what he wants. And he will start firing lawyers which will delay the trial even more, so he will control the process.

JMO
That’s all he can control, though. Nothing will prevent him being found guilty and spending the rest of his life in prison. That’s the inevitable conclusion for this disaster. Enjoy your trial, buddy.
