White Supremacist Arrested for Threatening the Jury, Witnesses Involved in the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Trial

A West Virginia man was arrested Thursday on charges he threatened the jury and witnesses involved in the trial of Pittsburgh synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.

Hardy Carroll Lloyd, 45, called himself the “reverend” of a white supremacy movement and began commenting online about the Bowers trial, making threatening posts, website comments and emails toward the jury and witnesses, federal prosecutors said.

Among the posts Lloyd is accused of making was the threat, “Remember, jurors, we WILL be watching and we WILL be taking pictures of ALL cars and people who leave the courthouse,” according to an affidavit. His posts continued to grow more violent throughout the trial and death penalty phase, calling for attacks on Jewish people and the city of Pittsburgh, according to the affidavit.
