South Carolina: Judge Allows Dylann Roof to Represent Himself at Trial
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In South Carolina, a judge is permitting Dylann Roof to represent
himself at his own trial, which opened Monday in Charleston. Prosecutors
say Roof opened fire at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South
Carolina, in June 2015, killing nine black worshipers, including the
pastor, Clementa Pinckney. Roof, who is pleading not guilty, embraced
white supremacist views and was shown in photographs posing with the
Confederate flag and a pistol.
