Verdict reached in Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial.
TL;DR
The trial of Robert Bowers, accused of killing 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue in 2018, has begun. Prosecutors argued that Bowers methodically shot as many people as he could find because of his hatred for Jews. The defense argued that Bowers did so because of his hatred for immigrants and the non-profit Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, rather than his hatred for Jews. Bowers has pleaded not guilty to 63 charges, including obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death and hate crimes resulting in death.
