The father of the man charged in the July 4 Highland Park mass shooting is requesting that a judge dismiss charges accusing him of committing a crime by helping his son obtain a gun license.
Robert Crimo Jr.’s lawyer, George Gomez, told the court that his client was charged under an unconstitutionally vague law. He said prosecutors charged Crimo Jr. for “innocent conduct” — signing “a wholly truthful” affidavit helping his son, Robert Crimo III, apply for and obtain a gun license.
If Lake County Judge George Strickland rejects Gomez’s arguments and allows the case to proceed, Crimo Jr.’s bench trial would start Nov. 6. The motion adds that, until Crimo Jr., “Illinois has never prosecuted an individual for signing a truthful affidavit under oath.” In arguing the law was too vague and imprecise, Gomez noted it lists conduct that leads to permanent bodily harm or disfigurement — but doesn’t say anything about conduct leading to death.
