Supreme Court rejects appeal by Charleston church shooter
Original: Supreme Court turns down appeal by Charleston church killer
The US Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal from Dylann Roof, the man sentenced to death for killing nine Black parishioners at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015. The decision lets his conviction and death sentence stand, closing off a federal avenue for relief.
Why now: The ruling resolves a long-running legal fight over one of the most notorious racist attacks in recent US history.
