The Daily Wire is not publishing the names of the suspect or his father in keeping with a policy of depriving alleged mass shooters of undeserved notoriety.<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cParents and guardians are in the best position to decide whether their teenager should have a weapon. They are the first line of defense. In this case, that system failed when (the suspect\u2019s father) sponsored his son,\u201d Rinehart said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/bulletins\/gd\/ILLAKE-33de2a4?wgt_ref=ILLAKE_WIDGET_3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>. \u201cHe knew what he knew, and he signed the form anyway.\u00a0 This was criminally reckless and a contributing cause to the bodily harm suffered by the victims on July 4<span data-contrast=\"auto\">th<span data-contrast=\"auto\">.\u201d<span data-ccp-props=\"{\" 201341983=\"201341983\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The suspect\u2019s father turned himself in to law enforcement, the statement also revealed. He was scheduled for a bond hearing on Saturday, where a judge set bond at $50,000, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/12\/16\/us\/highland-park-shooting-suspect-father-charges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> CNN.<\/p>\n<p>Bond conditions require the suspected gunman\u2019s father to surrender his weapons and to refrain from drug and alcohol usage, it added. His next hearing is scheduled for January 12, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The prosecutors argue that the suspected killer\u2019s father helped his son obtain a Firearm Owner\u2019s Identification (FOID) Card, which was only possible for a person under 21 years old with a parent\u2019s participation in the application process. The charges claim that the father\u2019s assistance in obtaining the FOID card was a contributing cause to those killed by the shooter during the parade.<\/p>\n<p>Reckless conduct is considered a Class 4 Felony, the statement noted, which could lead to a sentence of up to three years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged gunman, who was 21 years old at the time of the mass shooting, faces 117 charges in the killing of seven people and wounding dozens of others. His court date is scheduled for January 31, 2023. He confessed to firing more than 80 rounds during the parade, though he later pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/highland-park-shooting-suspect-who-confessed-to-firing-more-than-80-rounds-pleads-not-guilty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that defense attorney Scott Greenfield explained why someone who confessed in this matter would still plead not guilty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defendant is always told to plead \u2018not guilty\u2019 at arraignment in order to allow his lawyer to engage in discovery, motion practice and plea negotiations,\u201d Greenfield said. \u201cIt\u2019s entirely normal and reflects nothing about \u2018innocence\u2019 per se, but allows the lawyer room to do his job of zealously representing the defendant, no matter how overwhelming the evidence of guilty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the suspected gunman having no criminal record before the shootings, he was the focus of two calls from family members in 2019. The first call came in response to a suicide attempt.<\/p>\n<p>The second call came from a family member who said the suspect threatened to \u201ckill everybody.\u201d Police removed 16 knives, one dagger, and one sword from the suspect\u2019s home, the Chicago Sun-Times <a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/2022\/7\/6\/23196101\/highland-park-mass-shooting-suspect-robert-crimo-iii-ordered-held-without-bond\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the reports, the young man obtained a FOID card with the help of his father at the age of 19, which allowed him to legally own a firearm in Illinois.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The father of the man accused of killing seven people and wounding 48 others during a Fourth of July parade in Highland Park, Illinois, was arrested on Friday on charges of felony reckless conduct.
