The accused Sagittarius Robert Crimo at Highland Park Mass shootings at the fourth of July

Waakegan, Ill. – The trial of the man who was accused of opening fire at a parade on July fourth in the wealthy suburb of Highland Park in Chicago ended almost as quickly as on Monday when the suspect was surprised by the courtroom.

Robert “Bobby” E. Crimo III, who was exposed to 69 murder cases and was exposed to murder, on July 4, 2022, against mass shootings, joined the lawsuit shortly before the opening statements.

“Is it what you went with your lawyers?” Victoria Rossetti, judge of the Lake County Circuit district, asked Crimo, to ensure that he understood it.

“Yes,” replied Crimo.

Crimo is in prison in life because he killed seven people and injured almost 50 more than he is convicted on April 23. Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011.

The 24-year-old suspect tattooed in a black suit with number 47 and more tattoos that decorate his neck and hands, and did not make any additional statements before leaving the courthouse of the Lake County.

Previously, Crimo's mother Denise Pesina was called to the bench after one of the lawyers of her son had announced the change of the request and she screamed: “There is a judicial order!

Rossetti told her that if she wanted to stay in the courtroom, she would have to sit down and be calm. Pesina persecuted and was allowed to stay in the courtroom.

Eric Rinehart, the lawyer of the state Lake County, said in a written explanation: “This was not a negotiation. This was not a deal.”

“He decided to make himself guilty of every count that this process team and this law enforcement team should present this jury,” wrote Rinehart.

Asked when they found that Crimo owed himself guilty, Rinehart said to reporters: “We learned this morning.”

The mayor of Highland Park, Nancy Rotering, said: “We are all surprised and relieved that they do not have to experience the incredible pain of experiencing this experience in the next three to five weeks.”

The surviving Ashbey Beasley, who was at the parade with her 6-year-old son but was intact, said that she felt “relief and shock” when Crimo owed herself.

“I think we were all surprised and wait to see what happened,” said Beasley, who has become an anti-weapon activist since then.

Last week, while the jury was selected, Crimo did not sign that he was guilty.

From time to time, Crimo watched his defenders, the defender of Lake County, Gregory Ticsay and the deputy public defender Anton Trizna, and the prosecutor alternately asked questions to the jury's candidates.

But mostly crimo sat on a sheet of paper when the jury pool was limited to the six men and six women to serve on the panel.

Before the first juror was sitting, the prosecutors switched by another 48 heavy batteries with a firearm against crimo.

Monday said Rinehart that they already “had a mountain of evidence”.

“He tried to murder every single person he shot on this parade,” he said.

Rinehart did not get a setback from the defense team or Rossetti.

The police said that crimo, an up -and -coming rapper who used the artist's name awake the rapper and was described by friends as music -obsessed loners, spent weeks to plan the massacre.

On July 4, Crimo climbed up to the roof of a building above the Parade route and started the following spectators at 10:14 a.m., the police said.

Stephen Straus, 88; Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78; Eduardo Uvaldo, 69; Katherine Goldstein, 64; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; and married couple Kevin McCarthy (37) and Irina McCarthy, 35.

Dozens of others were wounded, of which the youngest was the 8-year-old Cooper Roberts, who was paralyzed from the waist when a ball separated his spinal cord.

The 63-year-old John Kezdy, who brought a ball to an elbow, was also wounded. Kezdy worked for the General Prosecutor's office in Illinois and was previously the main person of the influential punk rock band by Chicago, The Effigies. He died a year after the attack in a bicycle accident.

Crimo disguised himself by wearing women's clothing during the killing spree, the police said.

“After the attack, Crimo left the roof, dropped his rifle, and he mingled with the crowd and escaped,” said Lake County Major Crime Task Force, Chris Covelli at the time.

Crimo made it home, took his mother's car and drove north to Madison, Wisconsin, where he had considered to stage another massacre, the police said. He was arrested when he returned to Illinois.

“He entered details about what he had done,” said Rinehart after the incident. “He admitted what he had done. We don't want to speculate about the motifs right now. “

This was just the last surprise of Crimo.

In June in June in June, Crimo was expected to accept a pleading deal, but the court surprised by suddenly changing his opinion and holding his unstoppable plea.

At the end of 2023, Crimo dismissed his public defenders and said he would represent himself in court. In the next month, he asked a judge to reinstate his public defender.

In the meantime, Crimo's father, Robert Crimo Jr., is guilty of seven crimes of the ruthless behavior and was sentenced to 60 days in prison because he agreed to sponsor his 19-year-old son at the time. He did this, although a relative had only reported to the police a few months earlier that Crimo had a collection of knives and threatened to “kill everyone”.

Together with a survey recorded on video, the prosecutors had converted around 10,000 pages of evidence in which the police said that Crimo had been shooting.

In December, Rossetti rejected a attempt by Crimo's lawyers, Crimo, who were arrested when he was arrested, to throw explanations. The judge said that Crimo had his right to stay still, and the police had not prevented him from talking to the lawyer who hired his family to represent him.
