Among the posts Lloyd is accused of making was the threat, "Remember, jurors, we WILL be watching and we WILL be taking pictures of ALL cars and people who leave the courthouse," according to an affidavit. His posts continued to grow more violent throughout the trial and death penalty phase, calling for attacks on Jewish people and the city of Pittsburgh, according to the affidavit.
"Jury trials are a hallmark of the American justice system and attempts to intimidate witnesses or jurors will be met with a strong response," U.S. Attorney William Ihlenfeld said in a statement.
