Death Sentence Upheld For Charleston Church Shooter Dylann Roof
Page 1 of 1 • Share
AFP News Staff wrote:A US court of appeals on Wednesday upheld the death sentence of Dylann Roof, the white shooter convicted of killing nine Black worshipers at a South Carolina church in 2015.
Armed with a .45-caliber pistol, Roof fired 77 rounds in his shooting spree at the historic Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on June 17, 2015.
Roof, who was 21 at the time, "murdered African Americans at their church, during their Bible-study and worship. They had welcomed him. He slaughtered them," read the court's ruling in part.
"He did so with the express intent of terrorizing not just his immediate victims... but as many similar people as would hear of the mass murder."
Roof, now 27, is not at risk of execution in the short term as President Joe Biden's administration has imposed a moratorium on federal executions.
As stated in a racist manifesto, Roof's goal was "to foment racial division and strife" across the country.
"No cold record or careful parsing of statutes and precedents can capture the full horror of what Roof did. His crimes qualify him for the harshest penalty that a just society can impose," the ruling read.
The Mother Emmanuel AME Church massacre "is one of the worst events in not only South Carolina's history but also our nation's history," said Nathan Williams, one of the lead prosecutors on the case at the US attorney's office in South Carolina.
Roof was sentenced in early 2017 without having expressed regret or apologies.
His lawyers appealed the conviction on grounds that Roof should not have represented himself in the trial - an argument that failed to convince the appeals court.
It's a bad news/worst news for all who has been paying attention to this story. The Bad News: He's not gonna be executed, yet. With the Biden Presidency, the now 27 year old Roof is gonna stew behind bars waiting for his execution date. The Worst News: Roof will not see the light of day. Now that I think about it, it's Worse News for him.
Just Saying.
