PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - An attorney for the man accused of massacring 11 people at a Pittsburgh synagogue last year told a judge on Thursday that she was still trying to negotiate a deal in which he would plead guilty if prosecutors agreed not to pursue the death penalty.
Robert Bowers, 46, is accused of bursting into the Tree of Life synagogue on Oct. 27 with a semi-automatic rifle and three handguns and shouting "all Jews must die" as he fired on congregants gathered for a Sabbath service.
