Jury Selection Starts For 2018 Pittsburgh Synagogue Attack

The trial of the shooter who committed the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history began on Monday, with jury selection underway. The shooter, armed with multiple firearms, killed 11 people and wounded six others at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh in 2018. He faces 63 counts, including hate crimes and obstruction of free exercise of religion resulting in death. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. The shooter’s defense team claims he has schizophrenia and brain impairments. The trial is expected to last several months, with prosecutors arguing that the attack was motivated by religious hatred.
