The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a man challenging his death sentence for the 2015 mass shooting of nine people in a historic black church.
Investigators discovered that Roof was a radicalized white nationalist who operated a racist website. He later confessed to FBI agents that he hoped the shooting would ignite a race war or bring back segregation. Roof fired his attorneys and represented himself for the punishment phase of his trial. He did not call any witnesses, present evidence, and insisted he was not mentally ill.
