Pittsburgh synagogue gunman found eligible for death penalty

A jury has found a gunman who murdered 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue is eligible for the death penalty.

Robert Bowers, 50, was found guilty last month for the October 2018 attack.

This was the second stage of the trial. It now moves on to its final phase, sentencing selection.

The same jury will have to decide if Bowers should receive life in prison or be sentenced to death for carrying out the deadliest antisemitic attack in US history.
