Testimony has resumed in the trial of a suburban truck driver charged with carrying out the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history

Robert Bowers went on trial Tuesday, May 30, 2023, more than four years after an attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11 worshippers, including Gottfried, and wounded 7 others. Bowers could face the death penalty if convicted of some of the 63 counts he faces.
Black, 71, recalled how she remained hidden even as she saw congregant Mel Wax, who had been hiding close to her, drop dead after the gunman shot him. Wax, 87, was hard of hearing and had opened the storage door, apparently believing the attack was over she said. Black didn't learn until later that her 65-year-old brother, Richard Gottfried, was among the 11 people killed in the attack.
Prosecutors, who rejected Bowers' offer to plead guilty in exchange for removing the possibility that could be sentenced to death, have said Bowers made incriminating statements to investigators and left an online trail of antisemitic statements that shows the attack was motivated by religious hatred.
She said Gottfried, Wax and 71-year-old Dan Stein were “the three main pillars of our congregation. On the morning of the attack, Gottfried and Stein were in a kitchen near the sanctuary planning a men's group breakfast for the next day when Bowers killed them.
