PITTSBURGH (AP) — Lawyers for the man accused of shooting to death 11 worshippers in a Pittsburgh synagogue last year say the case would be over if federal prosecutors had accepted his offer to plead guilty in return for life-without-parole. Lawyers for Tree of Life shooting defendant Robert Bowers made the statement in a response Tuesday to prosecutors’ proposal to start trial in mid-September 2020. Bowers’ attorneys told a judge in May that he wanted to plead guilty in return for life.
