I last covered Roof's conviction in December, which you can view :HERE. Now his case is in the sentencing phase. He faces to death penalty, and the convicted terrorist/mass murderer insists on representing himself, as he has throughout his entire trial. As dozens of witnesses - including family of the victims - gave testimony in court, Roof showed no remorse for his atrocities. To demonstrate this, he drew White supremacist symbols on his jailhouse-issued shoes ,and wore them to multiple court appearances. And while relatives, friends, widows, and widowers of the murder victims spoke of their collective trauma in court, Roof reasserted his christian/alt-right/neo-Nazi convictions. Hardly a more pertinent sign of severe mental illness. Yet, Roof knows exactly what he's doing. No doubt this skinny, moppet-headed Hitler enthusiast would have eagerly voted for Trump, had he been permitted to.
Here are the nine people murdered by Roof:
Rev. Clementa Pinckney, 41
Cynthia Hurd, 54
Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, 45
Tywanza Sanders, 26
Myra Thompson, 59
Ethel Lee Lance, 70
Susie Jackson, 87
Daniel L. Simmons, 74
Depayne Middleton Doctor, 49
