High Court Hears Case of Mt. Lebanon Death Row Inmate

The state Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday on whether to grant a new trial to a man on death row for a racially motivated shooting spree that eventually left six people dead.

Richard Baumhammers, 42, of Mt. Lebanon, who is white, shot his Jewish neighbor, two Indian men, two Asian men and a black man on April 28, 2000. Five died at the scene. A sixth person died last year from pneumonia. He had been left paralyzed from the neck down since the shooting.
