2022 Highland Park Fourth of July parade killer, Robert Crimo III, rejects plea deal for seven murder charges.

The man accused of killing seven people and injuring dozens more in a 2022 Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, rejected a plea deal in court that would have required him to plead guilty to seven charges of murder. This decision comes just days before the second anniversary of the attack and has left the victims' families, prosecutors, and defense lawyers disappointed. The accused, Robert Crimo III, initially pleaded not guilty to 21 counts of first-degree murder, 48 counts of attempted murder, and 48 counts of aggravated battery.
