Robert Crimo pleads guilty

Robert Crimo, who committed mass murder at the Highland Park Illinois
Independence Day parade in 2022, pleaded guilty to all counts.

A jury had been empanelled. Just before opening arguments on Monday
March 3 2025, he changed his plea to guilty.

There were three counts on each of the 7 victims he killed, plus
numerous gun charges and attempted murder charges on victims who were
wounded. One little boy survived as a quadriplegic and lots of internal
organ damage.

I make sure to look for the shell casings embedded in the pavers at the
restaurant on Port Clinton Square. He took a sniper position behind a
parapet on the roof of a single-story commercial building across from
the Square to easily fire into the large gathering of parade observers.
