South Carolina Church Shooter Offers Guilty Plea To Avoid Death Penalty

[redacted], also known as “the South Carolina church shooter“, tried to pull a move in court today. [redacted’s] lawyer asked that he be allowed to plead guilty to state murder charges in order to avoid a death penalty sentence.

The thoughtful lawyer said such a deal is in the best interest of the grieving families so that they do not have to endure a lengthy trail that would likely be extremely emotional.

According to Reuters

His remarks came during a hearing in Charleston over whether a judge will release 911 emergency telephone calls and police 8reports about the June 17 massacre during a Bible study meeting at Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church.

Prosecutors declined to comment afterward on whether they would accept a guilty plea from Roof, who is white and has been linked to white supremacist views.

Judge J.C. Nicholson in July blocked the release of investigative materials in the state’s murder case against Roof, citing concerns about graphic photos of the crime scene and emergency calls that might have recorded the sounds of victims.

Nahhhhh, bih! Ain’t no plea deal, bih! [redacted] gotta sit his azz in that chair and take what’s coming to him!
