Supreme Court rejects Dylann Roof's bid to disqualify trial judge
Original: Supreme Court ends Charleston church shooter’s bid to disqualify trial judge
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear Dylann Roof's challenge seeking to disqualify the trial judge who presided over his death sentence for the 2015 massacre at Charleston's Mother Emanuel AME Church, in which nine Black worshippers were killed. The decision ends Roof's latest legal effort to overturn his federal death penalty conviction and leaves his sentence in place.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision closes a major chapter in one of the most notorious hate-crime cases in recent US history.
