Charleston church shooter's Supreme Court appeal rejected

Original: Charleston church shooter’s latest attempt at SCOTUS appeal rebuffed

Dylann Roof, who killed nine worshippers at Charleston's Emanuel AME Church in 2015, has had his latest attempt to appeal to the US Supreme Court rebuffed. Local outlets in South Carolina report the high court declined to take up the case, leaving his federal death sentence and convictions in place. The ruling closes off another avenue for Roof, whose 2017 appeal was previously rejected by the justices.

Why now: The Supreme Court's refusal to hear his latest appeal is newsworthy because the massacre remains one of the most notorious racially motivated attacks in recent US history.
