Neurologist testifies: Pittsburgh synagogue shooter did not suffer from psychiatric disorder
Fox News
A neurologist testified and disputed claims of psychiatric disorders at the death penalty trial of the man who carried out a deadly shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue in 2018.
Bowers, 50, a truck driver from suburban Baldwin, was convicted last month of killing members of three congregations who had gathered at the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018. He also wounded two worshippers and five police officers.
The penalty phase of Bowers’ trial began June 26 and is expected to last several weeks. Defense lawyers are trying to persuade a jury to spare his life, while federal prosecutors are seeking a death sentence.
