Accused Highland Park shooting suspect expected back in court in December
CHICAGO (CBS)-- The accused Highland Park parade mass shooter appeared in court Monday.
The hearing for Robert Crimo III lasted less than five minutes.
He will appear in court for another hearing on December 11 at 11 a.m. when Judge Victoria Rossetti expects to set a trial date.
He has been indicted 117 felony counts in Lake County; including murder, attempted murder, and aggravated battery.
His father Robert Crimo, Jr. was in court last month where a judge rejected a motion to dismiss his case.
The father, who attended the hearing Monday, is charged with seven counts of reckless conduct. The charges are based on his sponsoring his son's application for a gun license in 2019. He was 19 and could not get a FOID card without his father's signature.
Prosecutors say he helped his son get a gun license even though the then-19-year-old had threatened violence.
His case goes on trial November 6.
