The man accused of fatally shooting seven people during a July 4 parade outside Chicago in 2022 was expected to reconsider his across-the-board not guilty pleas Wednesday. Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart said in a statement last week that the prosecution and the defense have requested a hearing Wednesday morning. 'It is expected that a change in plea will be presented,' his office said.
'Perhaps some sense of comfort would follow a guilty plea and life in prison without parole,' Bonamarte said by email. 'The fear, anger and sadness they have experienced and live with will never go away.' Though first-degree murder in Illinois can return a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison, Crimo, if he is convicted, could be sentenced to consecutive prison terms based on each count, essentially leading to incarceration for life.
