Supreme Court rejects Charleston church shooter's judge challenge
Original: Supreme Court ends Charleston church shooter’s bid to disqualify trial judge
The US Supreme Court has declined to disqualify the trial judge in the case of Dylann Roof, who killed nine people at a Charleston church in 2015, ending his effort to remove the judge overseeing his case. The decision closes off one of Roof's remaining legal avenues as he pursues appeals of his death sentence for the racist massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
Why now: The Supreme Court's ruling resolves a high-profile legal fight tied to one of the deadliest racist attacks in modern US history.
