The suspect in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre faces 44 federal charges — most of them death penalty offenses — in the slaying of 11 worshippers during last weekend’s Shabbat services.
Included are 11 counts each of obstruction of the free exercise of religious belief resulting in death and use of a firearm to commit murder during a crime of violence, a conviction on any of which could be punishable by death, according to the indictment.
