PITTSBURGH — A jury of seven women and five men convicted Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers of all 63 charges against him Friday after less than 4½ hours of deliberation.
Family and friends of the 11 congregants slain by Bowers on Oct. 27, 2018, remained largely silent throughout the reading of the verdict for each individual charge. Bowers, too, remained quiet, looking down at the defense table or toward one of his attorneys as the judge read each charge.
Jurors received the case about 2:30 p.m. Thursday after 11 days of testimony and arguments. They signaled to U.S. District Judge Robert J. Colville they’d finished deliberating about 11:20 a.m. Friday.
