Federal prosecutors have said they will not seek the death penalty for a 22-year-old charged in the deadly shooting at a Southern California synagogue on the last day of Passover in 2019.
According to a report by The Associated Press, the decision was disclosed Monday in a one-sentence court filing in federal court in San Diego. It comes less than two months after US Attorney General Merrick Garland halted federal executions while the Justice Department conducts a review of its policies and procedures.
