<p class="imageCaption">The Pittsburgh man who massacred worshipers at a synagogue over the weekend pled not guilty to a slew of charges on Thursday as he appeared in court in Pennsylvania.</p>
</div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Robert Bowers, 46, is facing the death penalty for murdering 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Saturday.<br />
He was initially arrested on 29 counts including 22 which carried the death penalty but a grand jury piled onto the indictment another 15 charges on Wednesday night.<br />
On Thursday, he made a brief appearance to face the 44-count indictment.<br />
Dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit and with a bandage around his upper right arm,<br />
Bowers who made his first courtroom appearance in a wheelchair, a day earlier, Thursday was on his feet. Bowers who is being represented by two public defenders, answered in the affirmative when asked if he understood the charges against him.<br />
Prosecutors have been given 45 days to file pre-trial motions. They said the trial could take as long as a month.<br />
In the 12-page indictment against him, the victims are referred to by their initials.<br />
They are Joyce Fienberg, 75, Richard Gottfried, 65, Rose Mallinger, 97, Cecil Rosenthal, 59, David Rosenthal, 54, Irving Younger, 69, Jerry Rabinowitz, 66, Melvin Wax, 88, Bernice and Sylvan Simon, 84 and 86, and Daniel Stein, 71.<br />
Robert Bowers is charged with 11 counts of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs resulting in death<br />
Other charges include 11 counts of use and discharge of a firearm to commit murder during and in relation to a crime of violence; two counts of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs involving an attempt to kill and use of a dangerous weapon and resulting in bodily injury.<br />
The race-baiting anti-Semitic gunman is also facing 11 counts of use and discharge of a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, as well as, 8 counts of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs involving an attempt to kill and use of a dangerous weapon, and resulting in bodily injury to a public safety officer.<br />
The charges are rounded out with one count of obstruction of free exercise of religious beliefs involving use of a dangerous weapon and resulting in bodily injury to a public safety officer.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">After the indictment was returned, Attorney General Jeff Sessions described the case as an &#8216;important&#8217; one which required swift justice.<br />
&#8216;Hatred and violence on the basis of religion can have no place in our society.<br />
&#8216;Every American has the right to attend their house of worship in safety. The defendant in this case allegedly murdered 11 innocent people during religious services and injured four law enforcement officers. These alleged crimes are incomprehensibly evil and utterly repugnant to the values of this nation. Therefore this case is not only important to the victims and their loved ones, but to the city of Pittsburgh and the entire nation.<br />
&#8216;I want to express my thanks and admiration for the courage and professionalism of those officers who so quickly responded to this event, and especially to those that suffered wounds in the process. Our thanks is also extended to the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, the FBI, and the ATF for their outstanding response to this violent and deadly attack.<br />
&#8216;The Department of Justice, working with our state and local partners, will bring the full force of the law against anyone who would violate the civil rights of the American people and we are resolutely determined to achieve justice in this case,&#8217; he said.<br />
Prosecutors have already stated that they will seek the death penalty. President Trump has also made repeated calls for Bowers to be executed soon and not have his case drag through the courts for years.<br />
Bowers was injured as he exchanged fire with police and SWAT team members at the synagogue over the weekend. He surrendered to them after being wounded.<br />
As he prepared for his second court appearance, mourners were preparing to bury another three of his victims.<br />
Bernice and Sylvan Simon, who had been married for 62 years, will be laid to rest in a joint funeral in Pittsburgh.<br />
The couple got married in the Tree of Life in 1956. They had two adult sons and were grandparents. Neighbors said they often held hands and were always smiling.<br />
Richard Gottfried, another of the victims, will also be buried in a separate ceremony.<br />
They are the seventh, eight and ninth victims to be buried this week. Rose Mallinger, 97, was the oldest. Her funeral is on Friday.<br />
Daniel Stein, 71, will be buried in a private ceremony.</p>

White supremacist Robert Bowers, who is facing the death penalty for murdering 11 people in a Pittsburgh synagogue pleads not guilty to all 44 counts
