 The man accused of opening fire at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago in 2022 surprisingly rejected a deal requiring him to plead guilty to seven charges of murder. 23-year-old Robert Cremo III was expected to take that plea deal yesterday, which would have come with a life sentence. The attack killed seven people, wounded more than 40. Family members of the people killed said they hoped yesterday would bring some sort of closure ahead of the Fourth of July holiday. Instead, they now plan on refocusing on the trial, which is set for February 25th.
