In a recent court hearing, defense attorneys for the accused shooter in the tragic 2022 Independence Day parade shooting in suburban Chicago alleged that the defendant was denied his constitutional right to legal representation during police interrogation. The accused, Robert Crimo III, is facing charges for the deaths of seven individuals and numerous injuries sustained during the incident.
According to the defense, Crimo's relatives had retained an attorney who was present at the police station on the evening of the shooting, but authorities did not allow Crimo to meet with him. The defense argued that this violated Crimo's due process rights and are seeking to have his videotaped statements to the police excluded from the upcoming trial.
