The jury deliberated about five hours over two days. Bowers’ attorneys did not mount a defence at the guilt stage of the trial
A truck driver who expressed hatred of Jews was convicted Friday of barging into a Pittsburgh synagogue and shooting everyone he could find, killing 11 congregants in an act of antisemitic terror for which he could be sentenced to die.
The jury deliberated about five hours over two days before reaching a verdict. Bowers, wearing a dark sweater, had little reaction, as has often been the case throughout the trial. Prosecutors presented evidence of his deep-seated animosity toward Jews and immigrants. Over 11 days of testimony, jurors learned that Bowers had extensively posted, shared or liked antisemitic and white supremacist content on Gab, a social media platform popular with the far right, and praised Hitler and the Holocaust. Bowers told police that “all these Jews need to die,” Hahn said.
