Robert Crimo Jr., the father of the man accused of killing seven people at a Fourth of July parade in suburban Chicago, pleaded guilty on Monday to seven counts of misdemeanor reckless conduct for helping his son obtain a license to own firearms before the shootings. The guilty pleas were announced in a courtroom in Lake County, Ill., just before the elder Mr. Crimo’s trial was expected to begin. Eric F. Rinehart, the top prosecutor in Lake County, said the deal had been reached after last-minute discussions on Sunday. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Crimo will serve 60 days in jail, two years probation and 100 hours of public service, prosecutors said. Mr. Crimo declined to comment immediately after leaving the courtroom.
