A self-proclaimed white supremacist has been arrested after allegedly making online threats toward the jury and witnesses at the trial of a man who killed 11 congregants at a Pittsburgh synagogue.
The US Justice Department said Hardy Carroll Lloyd is accused of sending threatening social media posts and emails along with comments about the trial of Robert Bowers.
A jury last week concluded that Bowers should receive the death penalty instead of life in prison without parole for carrying out the attack, dubbed the most antisemitic in US history.
Bowers burst into the Tree of Life synagogue on October 27, 2018 and opened fire with an AR-15 rifle and other guns. Seven people, including five police officers, were also wounded in the attack.
