PITTSBURGH—The man charged in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre pleaded not guilty to hate crimes and dozens of other counts on Monday, Feb. 11, but his new lawyer—a prominent death penalty litigator who represented one of the Boston Marathon bombers—signaled he might be open to a plea deal.
Robert Bowers, a truck driver who authorities say gunned down 11 people at Tree of Life Synagogue, appeared in federal court with attorney Judy Clarke, who expressed hope the case will be resolved without a trial.
