The suspect in a 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre has gone on trial before a jury that could decide whether he will face the death penalty in the nation’s deadliest antisemitic attack.
Prosecutors have said Bowers made antisemitic comments at the scene of the attack and online.
As an indication that the guilt-or-innocence phase of the trial seems almost a foregone conclusion, Bowers' lawyers spent little time during jury selection asking how potential jurors would come to a verdict. The trial is taking place in the downtown Pittsburgh courthouse of the U.S. District Court for Western Pennsylvania, presided over by Judge Robert Colville, an appointee of former President Donald Trump.
Bowers also injured seven people, including five police officers who responded to the scene, investigators said.
