Tap title to read story
Robert Crimo III, the Highland Park parade shooter, received seven consecutive life sentences without parole for the July 4, 2022, massacre that killed seven and injured 48. Judge Rossetti called him irredeemable, noting his lack of remorse and years of planning. Crimo, who initially declined to attend the sentencing, later chose not to appear after briefly requesting access to religious materials. The sentencing prompted renewed calls for gun control reform, highlighting the need for stricter red flag laws and holding parents accountable for their children's actions. Crimo's father previously pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for his role in obtaining the weapons used in the attack.
