Highland Park shooting suspect's dad gets 60 days in plea deal

[former9thward]

The father of a man charged in a deadly Fourth of July parade shooting in suburban Chicago accused of helping his teenage son obtain a gun license even after he had threatened violence accepted a plea deal moments before his trial was set to begin.

Robert Crimo Jr. is charged with seven counts of reckless conduct — one for each person his son, Robert Crimo III, is accused of killing in Highland Park on Independence Day last year. Each count carries a maximum three-year prison term.

Crimo Jr. has accepted a deal to plead guilty to seven misdemeanor reckless conduct counts, with a sentencing of two years probation, 60 days in jail and 100 hours of community service.

As part of the deal, Crimo Jr. also must surrender his FOID card, and has agreed to not sponsor any minors for FOID cards in the future.

1. That is pathetic for an enabler whose action contributed to the deaths of innocent people?

I wonder how he sleeps at night?

2. This plea deal means that it will be easier to sue this asshole

This asshole will be sued and will lose these lawsuits due in part to this plea deal

3. Seven deaths and he gets 60 days, and loss of his Firearm Owners ID card.

What an incredible miscarriage of justice.
