   Highland Park, Illinois, shooting suspect Robert Crimo III on Wednesday pleaded not guilty in a Lake County courtroom to fatally shooting seven people and injuring dozens of others at a Fourth of July parade in the town located about an hour north of Chicago.

Crimo quietly answered "yes" or "no" questions to let the judge know that he understood her directives and stated his birth date. He wore a short-sleeved, blue jumpsuit and his parents appeared behind him.

Last week, an Illinois grand jury indicted Crimo on 117 counts for his role in the tragedy, including 21 counts of first-degree murder comprised of three counts of first-degree for each deceased victim.

Crimo is also charged with 48 counts of attempted murder and 48 counts of aggravated battery with a firearm for each victim who was struck by a bullet, bullet fragment, or shrapnel, according to Illinois State's Attorney Eric Rinehart's office.

Really? What's his defense going to be, it wasn't me it was the gun? Or maybe he is going for an insanity defense. I would be OK with him being ruled insane............as long as he spent the rest of his life in one of those snake pit mental hellholes, electro shock, hydro shock, rubber room isolation, etc.

Why aren't his parents up on charges as accessories?

They will certainly be included in all the civil suits. But yes, the father who purchased or helped his son purchase weapons, with full knowledge that his son was mentally unstable and dangerous, should be criminally charged as an accessory.

Every person is entitled to plead not guilty and have the government make its case, even if guilt is palpably obvious.

Hence my questioning what his defense would be, but gosh thank you for pointing out that right to plead not guilty thingy

He admitted to do it and they have him on record waving his Miranda rights.
One F#$K!NG day trial. Play the tape and send the jury in to deliberate.
