Well, the Justice Department is seeking the death penalty for Dylann Roof.
Dylann committed a racially charged massacre of nine people in a church in Charleston last year. He will face two death penalty trials.
Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said in a statement:
“Following the department’s rigorous review process to thoroughly consider all relevant factual and legal issues, I have determined that the Justice Department will seek the death penalty.The nature of the alleged crime and the resulting harm compelled this decision.”He deserves this
Having protested many many times, i am staunchly anti-death penalty, even in this case.
ReplyDeleteIf convicted, he can spend years appealing the ruling--something the people of South Carolina will pay for--and might never be executed.
Life without parole, however, means just that; jail until he dies.
That works for me because then he can sit in jail for decades knowing why he's there.
