Dylann Roof Wants Some Charges Dropped
The white man accused of killing nine black parishioners inside a South Carolina church wants federal charges against him dismissed




COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Dylann Roof's defense team is challenging the constitutionality of the federal hate crimes law, a legal longshot they say they'll drop if prosecutors agree not to pursue the death penalty in the killings of nine people inside a South Carolina church.

The white man accused of shooting black parishioners inside the historic Emanuel AME church in Charleston wants a judge to dismiss the nearly three-dozen federal charges he faces, saying they infringe on the state's murder case ...

Wade Henderson, a black man, is dead wrong in this opinion


The pursuit of capital punishment for Dylann Roof is a step backward


Wade Henderson is president and chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

On Nov. 7 in Charleston, S.C., a federal court will begin selecting a jury in the death penalty prosecution of Dylann Roof, the accused killer of nine African American worshipers at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. At first glance, the notion of a white man facing the death penalty for murdering black people in the South — in a killing inspired by the murderer’s racist views — may seem like a marker of racial progress ...

How disrespectful to say Mr. Roof and then say Ms Lynch to a married women :facepalm: The editorial board is dead wrong in this assessment to drop the death penalty on Roof, smh.


Drop the death penalty for Dylann Roof

By Editorial Board October 26 at 7:18 PM


IN AUTHORIZING the death-penalty prosecution of Dylann Roof, the white man accused of murdering nine people in a racially motivated assault at a historic African American church in Charleston, S.C., Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch cited the “nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm.” There can be no disagreement about the merciless horror that occurred June 17, 2015, or about the evidence of Mr. Roof’s culpability. But we question whether justice is best served by pressing ahead with not one but two trials seeking the death penalty in the face of Mr. Roof’s offer to plead guilty in exchange for life in prison without possibility of release ...

I hope Loretta Lynch stays her course with seeking the death penalty under federal guidelines & not let Roofs attorney convince her to adhere to weak State felony murder guidelines under the guise of the next of kin's presumed mental trauma distract this course of justice for their own loved ones butchered in the name of reverse racism. Like he gives a good crap about the Black victims families all of a sudden.

BTW: Clyde that picture of that dullard holding the gun? That's a water pistol he's holding, the circle on the bottom is the polystyrene nozzle, the circle on the top on the barrel is a generic plug since the frames are used for different applications like airsoft guns or prop pistols. Idiot couldn't even use a real gun for his "I'm bad to the bone pic".


Yes Ma'am, I'm with you on that Arianne, Loretta seems to have the tenacity to stay the course; let's also hope that Hillary keeps her as the nation's top cop, while we are it.

Thanks for exposing Roof to be the shallow person he really is, mon ami.:)
