Highland Park massacre suspect keeps phone privileges despite rant that FBI staged attack

Screen grab from recorded video call with Robert E. Crimo III.

The woman who recorded the Sept. 21 call was found to have violated jail rules and was banned from making further video calls with inmates. But Robert E. Crimo III hasn’t been disciplined and is allowed to make calls from a tablet in his cell, according to the Lake County sheriff’s office.
