Illinois man rejects guilty plea deal over seven killings at July 4 parade
The man accused of killing seven people at a 2022 Independence Day parade in Chicago has rejected a deal requiring him to plead guilty to seven charges of murder in a stunning courtroom scene just days before the second anniversary of the attack.
Appearing in a Lake County courtroom, Robert E Crimo III, 23, refused to accept the agreement that prosecutors said would mean a life sentence for him in the Highland Park shooting.
