WAUKEGAN, Ill.—A judge declined Wednesday to throw out statements made by a man charged with killing seven people at an Independence Day parade in suburban Chicago in 2022.

Robert Crimo III willingly waived his right to remain silent while speaking to police, and there was no “coercion, deceit, or intimidation” to prevent him from talking to a lawyer, Lake County Judge Victoria Rossetti said.
