It's been almost five years since the Tree of Life Synagogue mass shooting in Squirrel Hill.

11 people were killed and six others injured.

Today, jury selection begins in accused gunman Robert Bowers' trial.

On the Big K Morning Show, attorney Marty Dietz said getting a jury won't be easy.

"The publicity #1", he says, "Most people have heard about it. It's not a whodunnit. We know who did it. We know how bad the circumstances of the crimes were".

Dietz thinks another hurdle in finding jurors is: the trial will go on for weeks.
