Another attorney will temporarily join the team defending Robert Bowers.

Bowers is accused of gunning down 11 people inside the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill in 2018.

Bowers’ defense team has asked the court if a lawyer from Illinois can gain access to the case for the “limited purpose” of participating in upcoming “suppression litigation.”
