Robert G. Bowers, from the Pittsburgh suburb of Baldwin, faces 63 counts in the Oct. 27, 2018, attack at the Tree of Life synagogue.
PITTSBURGH — Jury selection will begin Monday in the federal death penalty trial of a truck driverin the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.
During the trial, prosecutors are expected to tell jurors about incriminatory statements he allegedly made to investigators, an online trail of antisemitic statements that they say shows the attack was motivated by religious hatred, and the guns recovered from him at the crime scene where police shot Bowers three times before he surrendered.
Bowers also injured seven people, including five police officers who responded to the scene, investigators said. Prosecutors wrote in a court filing that Bowers had nearly 400 followers on his Gab social media account “to whom he promoted his anti-Semitic views and calls to violence against Jews.”
