Robert Crimo III, accused of the deadly Fourth of July parade shooting in Highland Park, appeared in court for a brief hearing. The judge must decide if victims who are also witnesses can be present during the trial.
The suspect in the Highland Park Fourth of July parade shooting made a brief court appearance on Thursday, but a crucial decision regarding the presence of victims during the trial remains pending. Robert Crimo III, accused of opening fire from a rooftop during the 2022 Highland Park parade, killing seven and injuring dozens, had his parents present in court. Crimo displayed little reaction as six deputies surrounded him during the five-minute hearing.
A significant question that could shape the trial centers on whether victims who are also witnesses can observe the proceedings from inside the courtroom. Prosecutors are advocating for their presence, arguing it would be beneficial for the case. However, a standard legal practice typically prevents witnesses from observing other testimonies to avoid potential influence on their own statements. The judge is anticipated to deliver a ruling on this matter by February 20th. The trial itself is scheduled to commence on February 24th, with an additional pretrial hearing slated for the following week. While Crimo reportedly confessed to the shooting during police questioning, he has entered a plea of not guilty in court
