Man to plead guilty to hiding friend's church shooting plan
CHARLESTON, S.C. | BY HARRIET MCLEOD
A South Carolina man will plead guilty to federal charges he lied to investigators and concealed knowledge of his friend's plans for a deadly mass shooting that killed nine parishioners at a Charleston church last year, court papers showed on Monday.
Joseph Meek, 21, will plead guilty to two charges, according to a plea agreement filed in federal court. He was indicted for lying to an FBI agent after his childhood friend, 22-year-old Dylann Roof, allegedly opened fire during a June 17 Bible study at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church.
An attorney for Meek and federal prosecutors declined to comment.
Court documents show Meek has agreed to cooperate with U.S. attorneys. He could be called to testify at Roof's trial to his knowledge of his friend's alleged crimes.
