Greenberg also clarified that he is only representing the parents of Crimo and not Crimo himself. Crimo is being legally represented by Tom Durkin and Josh Herman, according to Greenberg.
Crimo was charged with seven counts of first-degree murder on Tuesday. He will face “dozens more charges,” Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart said in a media briefing. Crimo will face a mandatory life sentence without the chance of parole if convicted, according to Rinehart, who added that prosecutors will ask a judge on Wednesday to hold Crimo without the possibility of bail.
