After hearing weeks of grueling, graphic and often heartbreaking testimony, a jury unanimously decided Wednesday that Robert Bowers should be put to death for killing 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue nearly five years ago. The panel of seven women and five men deliberated about 10 hours over two days.

Federal jurors in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial will soon decide whether to sentence the convicted gunman to death or life in prison – two potential avenues for justice that in the years since the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history have found varying levels of support in an otherwise unified community.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against 50-year-old Robert Bowers for allegedly bursting into the church and firing at random, killing 11 people.

The guilty verdict Friday against Robert Bowers was a foregone conclusion.
