Mass Shooter’s Father Gets 60 Days For Enabling Son

The Washington Post reports:

The father of the man accused of killing seven people and wounding 31 at the 2022 Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Ill., pleaded guilty Monday to seven counts of misdemeanor reckless conduct for his role in allowing his son to obtain firearms.

Robert Crimo Jr. had been charged for “recklessly” sponsoring his son’s gun ownership application and allowing him access to firearms and ammunition, even though he was aware that Robert Crimo III had threatened violence and expressed suicidal thoughts.

A Lake County judge accepted the plea and sentenced Crimo Jr. to 60 days in jail, two years’ probation and 100 days of public service — far less than the three years in prison he could have faced at trial. He must surrender any weapons he possesses and his firearms owners identification card.
