Pittsburgh synagogue shooting suspect pleads not guilty
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA truck driver accused of killing 11 people and wounding seven during an attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue is pleading not guilty.
Robert Bowers, 46, appears in federal court and pleads not guilty to a new indictment that added 19 additional counts.
His attorney, Judy Clarke, says the defense is hoping the case can be resolved without going to trial. Clarke is a noted death penalty lawyer whose past clients have included one of the Boston Marathon bombers, a 9/11 conspirator and Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.
The new charges against Bowers include hate crime violations, obstructing religious belief and using a firearm during crimes of violence.
Authorities say Bowers raged against Jews during and after the attack.
