A judge in Waukegan, Illinois has postponed the trial of Robert Crimo III, the man accused of the horrifying Fourth of July parade shooting in 2022 that claimed the lives of seven people and left dozens injured. The decision to delay the trial came after Crimo's lawyer requested more time to review the extensive evidence in the case. The trial, originally scheduled to begin next month, does not currently have a new date set.
Crimo, aged 23, is facing a litany of charges including 21 counts of first-degree murder, 48 counts of attempted murder, and 48 counts of aggravated battery. The shooting took place in Highland Park, Illinois, where Crimo allegedly unleashed a barrage of bullets from a rooftop before fleeing to the Madison, Wisconsin area. It is reported that he had even contemplated carrying out another attack on a parade there.
