Court Upholds Death Sentence For Dylann Roof

2.2kviews





The Court of Appeals upheld the death sentence for Dylann Roof.
He was found guilty of killing 9 members of a historical church in Charleston on June 17, 2015.
“No cold record or careful parsing of statues and precedents can capture the full horror of what Roof did,” the courts ruling stated.
“Dylann Roof murdered African Americans at their church during Bible-study and worship.
They had welcomed him but in return he slaughtered them.
Roof did so with the express intent of terrorizing not just his immediate victims and the historically important Mother Emanuel church, but as many similar people as would hear of the mass murder.”
Roof and his attorney appealed the sentence in May of 2017.
Roof’s attorney brought up several topics including his competency.
During the trial Roof had two competency hearings.
One before his trial began and the second one during his sentencing.
The courts were trying to determine if he could represent himself after he threatened to fire his attorney before the penalty phase.
Roof thought white nationalist would come free him from prison, according to court documents.
Roof is the first to be handed a death sentence for a federal hate crime.

  1. Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem with your website in web explorer, may
    test this? IE still is the market leader and a big component of folks will pass
    over your great writing because of this problem.

  2. My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP.
    I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
    But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
    I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into
    it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!

  7. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to
    be really something that I think I would never understand.

    It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
