The father of the Highland Park parade massacre suspect was ordered to serve 60 days in jail after pleading guilty Monday to misdemeanor counts of reckless conduct — a plea his lawyer said was made in part to avoid “jeopardizing his son’s fair right to a trial.”
Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said the guilty plea will serve as a “beacon” for prosecutors across the country to hold parents accountable for the actions of their children.
