Highland Park shooting suspect’s father asks judge to toss case charging him with helping son get gun license
lawyer, George Gomez, told the court during a hearing in Waukegan Monday that his client was charged under a law that is vague and unconstitutional.
Prosecutors allege the father aided the son in getting a gun license even though he knew the then-19-year-old had previously threatened violence. Lake County Judge George Strickland said at Monday’s hearing he would issue a ruling at the next hearing, on Aug. 28.If he rejects Gomez’s arguments and allows the case to proceed, Crimo Jr.’s bench trial would start Nov. 6.
