Truck Driver Convicted of Hate Crimes in Deadly Shooting at Pittsburgh Synagogue

Robert Bowers was found guilty of killing 11 worshippers at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018.
Bowers targeted victims because of their Jewish faith and faced 63 charges including hate crimes resulting in death.
The trial will now move to a penalty phase where the jury will decide if Bowers should receive the death penalty or life in prison.
Bowers's lawyers argued his motive was not preventing worship but a delusional belief Jews were enabling genocide.
The attack was the deadliest against Jews in US history, part of an epidemic of mass shootings that have killed 647 so far this year.
