 Good afternoon. From the River Radio newsroom, I'm Robert Teese. The man accused of killing seven people and entering dozens more at a 2022 Independence Day parade in Highland Park unexpectedly rejected a deal from prosecutors to plead guilty to murder charges. Appearing in a Lake County courtroom this morning, Robert Cremo III refused to accept the agreement that prosecutors said would result in a life sentence. Cremo's trial is now scheduled for next February.
