“On Oct. 27, 2018, this defendant violated the safe, holy sanctuary that was the Tree of Life synagogue. He turned it into a killing ground," prosecutor Soo Song told jurors in the sentencing phase for Robert Bowers, who was convicted last month in the attack that claimed 11 lives.At issue is whether Bowers is eligible for the death penalty — a preliminary stage in the weekslong sentencing process.
Bowers' own defense team has conceded one aggravating factor: that several of the victims were vulnerable due to age or mental disability.was impaired by schizophrenia, epilepsy and a delusional belief that he could stop a genocide of white people by killing Jews. Even if Bowers had schizophrenia or epilepsy, “that would not mean the defendant was incapable of forming the intent to kill,” Song said.
