America sentences the Charleston serial killer to death... the enemy of brown skin
A US appeals court has upheld the conviction and death sentence for a white supremacist man who murdered nine black people in a South Carolina church in 2015.
The 3-judge U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Dylann Roof, the "Charleston serial killer," who argued that he was ineligible to stand trial and represent himself and that the U.S. District Court in which he was convicted misused its discretion.
According to Sky News.
In their opinion, the judges wrote: "No rigorous analysis of laws and precedents can shed light on the complete horror of what Rove did," according to Reuters.
They added: "His crimes qualify him for the harshest punishment a just society can impose."
In December 2016, a jury found Rove guilty of 33 federal charges of mass shooting at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston in June 2015.
The same jury sentenced him to death in January 2017.
