It was his second brief appearance in a federal courtroom since the weekend massacre at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. One of his federal public defenders, Michael Novara, said Bowers pleaded not guilty, "as is typical at this stage of the proceedings." Bowers had been set for a preliminary hearing on the evidence, but federal prosecutors instead took the case to a grand jury. The panel issued the indictment as funerals continued for the victims, including a husband and wife married at Tree of Life 62 years ago. Afterward, once it was over and he learned that Myers had come through physically unscathed, Carlton said he was left shaking.
