Dylann Roof sentenced to death for Charleston church massacre
Dylann Roof, the unrepentant white supremacist who massacred killing nine black parishioners at Charleston South Carolina’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, was sentenced to death by a jury on Tuesday. The decision was unanimous.
After being found guilty of the murders in December, Roof chose to represent himself to the jurors tasked with deciding his fate. Insisting that “there’s nothing wrong with me psychologically,” he asked the court to disregard his lawyer’s earlier attempts to portray him as mentally unstable.
