Supreme Court declines Charleston church shooter's appeal

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

Dylann Roof, who killed nine worshippers at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015, has been rebuffed in his latest attempt to have the Supreme Court hear his appeal. The high court declined to take up his case, leaving his death sentence in place. The 2015 massacre at the historically Black church remains one of the most notorious racist attacks in recent US history.

Why now: The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case is a fresh development in a long-running death penalty case that drew national attention.
