A federal jury has ruled that the gunman who killed 11 people in a Pittsburgh Synagogue in 2018 is eligible for the death penalty. The government is seeking capital punishment for Robert Bowers, who targeted the Tree of Life synagogue in the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history. Bowers' lawyers argued that his ability to form intent was impaired by mental illness and a delusional belief. The trial will now move into the penalty phase, where jurors will consider the impact of Bowers' crimes before deciding whether to sentence him to death or life in prison.
