Highland Park mass shooter Robert Crimo's final act of cowardice as he learns his fate for July 4th massacre

The mass shooter who murdered seven people and wounded almost 50 in a horror July 4th massacre cowardly skipped his sentencing hearing as he learned he would die in prison.

Robert Crimo III, 24, avoided coming face to face with the families of his victims in court on Thursday as Judge Victoria Rosetti handed him seven consecutive life sentences, one for each of his victims.

Crimo also received an additional 50 years for the 48 people wounded when he opened fire at the 2022 Independence Day parade in Chicago's Highland Park suburb.

The judge condemned Crimo to life in prison after hearing two days of anguished victim impact statements, which were briefly paused Thursday as the court heard Crimo may join his hearing after all before he opted not to, reports CBS News.

Survivor Dana Ruder Ring gave heartbreaking testimony over what she witnessed when Crimo opened fire, saying her family ran for cover in a parking garage when bullets rang out at the parade.

She said as her family hid, a woman approached them and handed her a two-year-old boy covered in blood, and said the infant repeatedly told her his parents would find him.

Ring said she later learned the boy's parents were Irina and Kevin McCarthy, who were among those murdered by Crimo.

She was joined in the courtroom by families and loved ones of Crimo's other victims, Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63, Stephen Straus, 88, Nicolas Toledo Zaragoza, 78, and Eduardo Uvaldo, 69.

If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
