Father's Fate Hangs in Balance as Judge Weighs Trial for Accused Parade Shooter

A judge in Illinois is set to decide whether the father of the man accused of a fatal shooting at a Fourth of July parade will stand trial for helping his son obtain a gun license three years prior. The defense argues that the charges against the father should be dismissed due to an unconstitutionally vague law. If the motion to dismiss is rejected, the father's bench trial will begin in November. The son faces multiple charges related to the shooting, and the father's arrest is based on his sponsorship of his son's gun license application.
