Highland Park Shooter's Defense Seeks to Suppress Key Interrogation Statements

Robert Crimo III, who skipped another hearing, is accused of killing seven people at a July 4, 2022, parade.

Crimo's attorneys argue that he was misled about the presence of a family-hired lawyer during his police interrogation.
The defense filed a motion to exclude parts of Crimo's recorded statements, claiming his rights were violated.
Judge Victoria Rossetti will consider the motion and other pretrial motions at a hearing on November 14.
Crimo has missed two consecutive court hearings, but his absence will not delay the upcoming murder trial.
The trial, set for February 25, 2025, involves over 100 felony counts related to the mass shooting that also injured dozens.
