Robert Bowers, the gunman who killed 11 worshippers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018, was convicted by a federal jury of all 63 charges against him. Bowers now faces the possibility of the death sentence at the hands of the same jury for the deadliest attack ever on Jewish people in the U.S.
Bowers was convicted of 11 capital counts of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death, and 11 capital accounts of use of a firearm to commit murder during and in relation to a crime of violence, among other charges, including 11 counts of hate crimes resulting in death.
The penalty phase is scheduled to begin on June 26.
