does not have a psychiatric or neurological disorder, and he was capable of forming the intent to kill, a neurologist testified Wednesday at the killer's federal death penalty trial.
The penalty phase of Bowers’ trial began June 26 and is expected to last several weeks. Defense lawyers areLast week, defense experts testified that Bowers was “blatantly psychotic,” with aof mental illness. Bowers’ lawyers are trying to show that his ability to form the legal intent to kill was impaired by mental illness and his delusional belief that he could stop a genocide of white people by killing Jews.
The neurologist told jurors he examined Bowers for more than three hours in May, finding the defendant to be calm, cooperative and keen on talking about Jews, immigrants and his belief in a racist conspiracy theory known as the “great replacement.” He said Bowers' toxic views about Jewish people were reinforced by antisemitic material he viewed online and were not the result of a delusion or psychosis.
