In this courtroom sketch, shooting survivor Andrea Wedner, right, testifies, June 14, 2023, in Pittsburgh in the federal trial of Robert Bowers. A truck driver who hated Jewish people turned a sacred house of worship into a "hunting ground" when he burst into a Pittsburgh synagogue and killed 11 congregants, a federal prosecutor said Thursday before jury deliberations got underway in the man's capital trial.
"He is filled with hatred for Jews," prosecutor Mary Hahn said, noting Bowers had an extensive history of posting antisemitic and white supremacist content online. "That is what propelled him to act." "These aren't people engaging in refugee assistance. These are people who are practising their faith," Olshan said. "And he kept hunting, looking for Jews to kill."
