TL;DR Summary

The survivor of the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, Andrea Wedner, testified in court that she saw her right arm "get blown open in two places" by the gunman and cried "Mommy" after realizing her 97-year-old mother had been shot and killed by her side. The prosecution rested its case against Robert Bowers, who is charged with 63 criminal counts, including hate crimes resulting in death and the obstruction of the free exercise of religion resulting in death. The trial is expected to enter a lengthy penalty phase, with the same jurors deciding Bowers' sentence: life in prison or the death penalty.
