Jurors on Wednesday will deliberate for a second day on whether to sentence Robert Bowers to death for killing 11 worshippers and wounding six others at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018
The jury spent seven hours deliberating Tuesday. For a few minutes that day at their request, jurors also examined the guns used in the shooting at Tree of Life synagogue – the deadliest attack on Jewish people in the US. A decision to sentence the gunman to death must be unanimous. Otherwise, he will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. Bowers, 50, was convicted on June 16 of all 63 charges against him stemming from the October 2018 shooting.
The case is the second federal death penalty case to be prosecuted under the administration of President Joe Biden, who had criticized the death penalty on the campaign trail. The first case centered on a terrorist who drove a U-Haul truck into cyclists and pedestrians on a New York City bike path. The jury failed to reach a unanimous sentencing decision, leading to a sentence of life without parole. Both cases were holdovers from the Trump administration.
