Supreme Court rejects Dylann Roof judge challenge
Original: Supreme Court ends Dylann Roof’s bid to disqualify trial judge
The US Supreme Court declined to hear Dylann Roof's attempt to disqualify the judge who presided over his federal death penalty trial, ending his bid to remove her. Roof, sentenced to death for the 2015 Charleston church massacre that killed nine Black parishioners, argued the judge should have been replaced. The decision leaves his conviction and sentence in place as appeals continue.
Why now: The high court's refusal closes a chapter in a high-profile death penalty case tied to a racist mass shooting.
