Decision to Seek Death Penalty For Pgh Synagogue Shooter Receives Mixed Reaction

UNDATED (AP) — The decision by federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for the man accused of killing 11 worshippers inside a Pittsburgh synagogue was made despite opposition from people most affected by the massacre. The filing this week drew a disappointed reaction from Dor Hadash, one of three congregations assembled when an armed man opened fire last year. Some opponents say they have a religious objection to the death penalty. Others say a plea deal could help survivors avoid reliving the event.
