PITTSBURGH — Federal prosecutors and defense attorneys will begin the process next week of choosing a jury to hear the case against accused Tree of Life synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.
The jury will potentially be tasked with making three decisions in the case against Bowers, who is accused of gunning down 11 congregants from Tree of Life, New Light and Dor Hadash in 2018.
The synagogue, a hulking stone building at the intersection of Wilkins and Shady avenues, housed three congregations — Dor Hadash, New Light and Tree of Life or L'Simcha. The latter congregation owned the building, and its name is written in English and Hebrew on the north wall.
