TL;DR Summary

Robert Bowers, who was found guilty of all 63 counts, including hate crimes resulting in death and obstruction of the free exercise of religion resulting in death, is now eligible for the death penalty. The sentencing phase is expected to begin on June 26, where jurors will decide whether Bowers should be sent to death row or sentenced to life in prison without parole. The trial took place three years after the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, and federal prosecutors continue to pursue the death penalty for eligible crimes, despite a temporary pause on executions by the attorney general.
