Supreme Court rejects Charleston church shooter's latest appeal

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

The US Supreme Court has turned down the latest appeal attempt from Dylann Roof, the man sentenced to death for the 2015 massacre of nine Black worshippers at a Charleston, South Carolina church. Local outlets including WISTV and FOX Carolina reported the rebuff. Roof's case, involving his death sentence and claims about his mental competence, has wound through the courts for years.

Why now: The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the appeal renews attention on one of the most notorious hate-crime cases in recent US history.
