PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- One of the jurors seated in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting trial was excused on Tuesday morning as proceedings began for the day.

The trial has entered a very difficult phase for the jury and family members involved. At the onset of the trial, the government warned the jury that the trial would be difficult to endure due to the testimony and pictures of autopsies on the victims.

The jurors were told that they would be shown both in words and in photographic evidence the extent of the violence perpetrated on the victims.
