There were more than 11 victims when a gunman attacked congregants inside the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill on Oct. 27, 2018.

Families and friends of those killed. Injured congregants. Police officers and first responders.

This week, as the trial entered its sentencing phase, government prosecutors told their stories, using tear-filled testimony and photographs that diverged sharply from the PennDOT-style mugshots the jury had come to expect.

Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, family portraits — people soaking in smiles.

The federal court in Downtown Pittsburgh posted some of those photos Thursday.
