The trial of Robert E. Crimo III commenced with jury selection for the mass shooting at a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, where he is charged with 117 counts, including murder. Prosecutors allege he fired over 80 rounds from a rifle, resulting in seven deaths and numerous injuries to innocent bystanders. The courtroom proceedings indicate the seriousness of the case, with jurors warned of graphic testimonies ahead. Crimo's potential defense options are uncertain as the trial unfolds, with implications of life imprisonment if he is convicted.
"It is an incredibly sad case. Scores of people were injured, and hundreds of others will have this embedded in their memories for life."
"If convicted, Crimo could face life in prison without the possibility of parole."
