The suspect initially planned to represent himself and had pleaded not guilty, but abruptly reversed that decision and requested public defenders earlier this yearon more than 100 charges, including murder and attempted murder, for the shooting in Highland Park that killed seven and wounded 48.
Extra security is planned for the hearing at the Waukegan courthouse, the Sun-Times reported, and some survivors of the attack are expected to be in attendance. Those killed in the attack were Katherine Goldstein, 64; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; Stephen Straus, 88; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78; and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69, and married couple Kevin McCarthy, 37, and Irina McCarthy, 35.
The violence focused attention on Highland Park’s 2013 ban on semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines. Illinois officials have long contended that legal and illegal weapons are easily purchased in surrounding states, hampering even the toughest local laws’ effectiveness.
