South Carolina church shooting suspect found competent to stand trial
Source: Reuters
Accused white supremacist Dylann Roof is mentally competent to stand trial for the shooting deaths of nine black parishioners at a South Carolina church last year, a federal judge ruled on Friday.
The decision ends a temporary halt to federal efforts to seek justice in the June 2015 attack at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston that shook the country and intensified the debate over U.S. race relations.
Roof faces 33 counts of hate crimes, obstruction of religion and firearms charges stemming from the massacre carried out during a church Bible study. Federal prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
The 22-year-old suspect's competency was the subject of a 16-hour hearing held behind closed doors on Monday and Tuesday.

And then his defense team will take him out for some Burger King...
Acquittal calls for a celebration, so they'll take him to one of Trump's overpriced restaurants!

I'm shocked!!!!!
Now let's see what kind of verdict will be rendered after this one faces his 'peers'. AmeriKKKa is too fucked up now with RW euphoria over defeating, women, the 'coloreds' and "others". I do not expect anything but show trial ending in a light sentence for murder. And the trumpfuhrer will send protesters, get ready for one of the first battles of the 2nd AmeriKKKan Civil War.
