GUILTY SC - Nine killed in Emanuel AME Church shooting, Charleston, 2015; Dylann Roof GUILTY #3

[Spellbound]

Re BBM

Exactly. He got exactly what he wanted for his defense which is one of his rights.

His own original attorneys I am sure tried to talk him out of it and he elected to do it his way. So he got a fair trial exactly what he wanted in his way.

If he does not like the verdict then that is just too bad.
The verdict is just the final result of a trial and should have no bearing on whether he got a fair trial which he did IMO.

Unless there was some grave error somewhere along the way that is identified then I see no reason a second chance should be given to him.

He sure didnt give his victims any second chances so IMO the court should not give him second chances just because he does not like the verdict.

This is interesting in his statements. He is basically telling us that he could kill people again.

I think the jury got it right. Protect society from this evil person.

""You may remember in my confession I said I had to do it. I guess that's not really true. I didn't have to do it, no one made me do it. What I meant when I said that was I felt like I had to do it and I still feel like I had to do it."

I agree with both your posts, Hatfield. Well said. There is no reason to redo a trial, and I doubt this judge will give it any merit. If I recall correctly, the judge is giving Roof until tomorrow morning to reconsider his request. Perhaps it coudl have some detrimental effect on any future appeals if he allows the motion, even though it will be denied?

Are they going to release the trial (all the infomration>)now or hold off until the state one- which IMO a further waste of money

Kinda surprised it seems like people are surprised?

I am not sure how much will be released until after the state trial. Some will get released fairly soon, I think.

I feel this is the right sentence and decision. Thankfully the jury saw it that way, too.

I agree.

Not that he deserves a retrial, and I cannot come up with any logical reasoning for that ---- but I would be curious if he would do things any different. If not, what would even be the point? And how would different lawyers be any better if he is not going to let them do their job? Did he not get a,ong with these guys, or would he not get along with ANY attorneys he might be assigned?

Why did none of his family ever come to court (other than one day, when Mom had her heart attach episode)? Even if I believed my child was guilty, I think I would be there every day --- I would want to know exactly what occurred and why.

He said something about how he felt like he wasn't heard. I think had it been up to him, he would have also allowed his attorneys to take the lead in the sentencing phase IF they would agree to omit any mention of his mental health evaluations, but they weren't willing to agree to that. His attorneys are staunchly opposed to the death penalty and truly had the best intentions for him. And, clearly, they believed introducing mental health issues was his best hope of convincing a jury to a sentence of life behind bars.

If he felt like he wasn't being heard though, why didn't he make this request earlier? Instead of choosing to represent himself. That would be my reasoning for denying his request, if I were the judge. The problem is that he probably would have been denied that request anyway. His attorneys are incredibly well-respected and have represented many other defendants in high profile death penalty cases (including the Boston Marathon bomber). The judge would have probably denied his request, citing that his current appointed attorneys are the best the country has to offer him.

Question for anyone, does that mean he will be executed under indiana or south carolina? And will he return to south carolina for the state trial? TIA

If there is a SC trial for these crimes, he will have to be in the courtroom (the US Constitution gives him the right to face one's accuser, etc.), but he would be under tight security, of course, since he would be an inmate of the Feds. If he is convicted by a SC jury, IDK where he would go next, but I would think the Feds would have "dibs" on him, so he would probably go back to Indy.

But as far as the present is concerned, he will go to Terre Haute where DP prisoners are held.

The United States Penitentiary, Terre Haute (USP Terre Haute) is a high-security United States federal prison for male inmates in Terre Haute, Indiana. It is part of the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Complex (FCC Terre Haute) and is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. USP Terre Haute houses a Special Confinement Unit for male federal inmates who have been sentenced to death as well as the federal execution chamber. FCC Terre Haute is located in the city of Terre Haute, 70 miles (110 km) west of Indianapolis.[SUP][1][/SUP]

Charleston shooting trial: What's next for Dylann Roof?

"Charleston, South Carolina (CNN)...
Roof will become the first federal hate crime defendant to be sentenced to death, a Justice Department spokesman said.
US District Judge Richard M. Gergel, who has presided over the trial, will hold the formal sentencing Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. ET....

A group of defense attorneys and others who worked on Roof's behalf issued a statement, saying the death penalty decision means the case will not be over for a "very long time."

A former prosecutor in South Carolina, Holman Gossett said it's possible for Roof could ask for a new trial.

"He didn't have any attorneys helping him in the penalty phase so he may make that motion after reflecting on it," Gossett told CNN affiliate WSPA. "Then it would go through the process of automatic hearings with appellate courts to see if there's any reason under the law that it should not stand legal grounds."..."

Shooting victims' loved ones to address Dylann Roof, judge at sentencing today

"After weeks of gut-wrenching testimony, a federal judge formally will sentence Dylann Roof to death this morning after family members of the nine killed get an opportunity to address the killer in court...

Roof, who sat stone-faced and silent through most of his hate crimes trial, showed no emotion as the jury’s verdict was read. During his closing argument earlier in the day, he passed on the chance to argue for his life, saying “I’m not sure what good that will do anyway.”..."
