POOL - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Charleston, South Carolina - 10 April 2017
1. Judge reads charges, Charleston shooter Dylann Roof responds (English) 'Guilty' when asked by judge
STORYLINE:
Convicted Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof has pleaded guilty to state murder charges, leaving him to await federal execution and sparing his victims and their families the burden of a second trial.
The 23-year-old Roof entered his plea Monday to all state charges against him, including nine counts of murder. It's part of a deal with prosecutors in exchange for a life prison sentence.
Roof was sentenced to death earlier this year on 33 federal crimes. The self-avowed white supremacist was unapologetic during that trial as he listened to survivors and relatives describe the hail of bullets that began when parishioners closed their eyes to pray during a June 2015 Bible study at the historically black Emanuel AME Church.
Those same people have the opportunity to testify Monday before Roof is sentenced.
