The final phase of the Pittsburgh synagogue gunman’s death penalty trial began. Prosecutors laid out why the shooter should be sentenced to death, including his continued lack of remorse in the attack that left 11 worshippers dead and six others wounded.
“He defiled a house of worship, turning it into a place of violence and death,” prosecutor Nicole Vasquez Schmitt said. “He made these decisions, and he is proud of them.” “At the end of this trial, we will ask you to return a verdict of death, a verdict of justice,” she added. “The defendant made his decisions, and he must be held accountable.” In contrast, defense attorneys for the gunman, Robert Bowers, emphasized his difficult upbringing and told jurors to follow their own moral code.
Prosecution, defense offer arguments for and against Robert Bowers’ death Vasquez Schmitt, the prosecutor, started opening statements by telling jurors each of the 11 people killed were so much more than a victim. “They were loved, they were unique, and they’ve left behind loved ones who had to endure the crushing weight of their loss,” she said. “You are going to learn about how they lived and how they loved and how much they are missed by those who loved them.
