Next will come the penalty phase of the trial, where the jury will decide if he should receive the death penalty or serve life in prison. CBS Pittsburgh reports that the judge called for a one-week break before the penalty phase begins.

The defense team, rather than trying to get a not guilty verdict during the trial, had instead focused on trying to spare him the death penalty. They offered no defense of their own after the prosecution rested.

On Oct. 27, 2018, the shooter entered the Tree of Life synagogue, which houses three separate congregations, during Saturday morning prayers. Armed with an AR-15 rifle and three handguns, he opened fire shortly before 10 a.m. in Tree of Life, the largest of the three congregations.

He turned the house of worship into a "hunting ground," a federal prosecutor told the jury.
