Pittsburgh, August 4 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Pennsylvania, a federal jury has unanimously sentenced the gunman who killed 11 worshipers at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue to death.  

Robert Bowers was found guilty of federal hate crimes for the 2018 massacre.  Many survivors and family members gathered to express their relief over the death sentence.  

Rabbi Jonathan Perlman, who helped hide worshipers during the gunman’s rampage, wrote in the Jewish American newspaper The Forward: “Vengeance has become a motivating factor for many Jews who hoped the jury would sentence the murderer to death.  But despite the horrific nature of his crimes, I do not believe that doing so would bring either justice or peace.”
