Jury poised to deliberate death penalty or life sentence for gunman in Pittsburgh synagogue massacre

The Justice Department says Hardy Carroll Lloyd of Follansbee, West Virginia, is accused of sending threatening social media posts and emails along with comments on websites.

It was the first federal death sentence imposed during the presidency of Joe Biden, who pledged during his 2020 campaign to end capital punishment.

A federal jury recommended Wednesday that Robert Bowers be sent to death row. A judge must formally impose the sentence.
