A trial date was set, and he was released from custody pending trial without any bail or travel restrictions. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter was sentenced to death in Pennsylvania after being found guilty of 63 criminal counts for the heinous act of murdering 11 people and injuring 8 others in 2018.
