(Pittsburgh, Pa.) The trial for Robert Bowers who is accused of killing 11 people and wounding dozens of others at the Tree of Life Synagogue just over three years ago could start in July 2022.
The defense and federal prosecutors have been fighting over what evidence will be allowed at trial. Bowers’ defense is trying to keep the jury from hearing some anti-Semitic statements Bowers allegedly made that day.
Bowers faces federal hate crime charges, which carry the death penalty. Bowers is accused of carrying out the largest hate crime ever against Jews in the United States
