In Charleston, South Carolina, convicted mass murderer Dylann Roof told a judge Wednesday he won’t call witnesses or give evidence in his own defense when a jury returns next week to determine if he’ll receive the death penalty. Roof is acting as his own counsel after he fired his legal team. He was convicted earlier this month on 33 counts of federal hate crimes for murdering nine black worshipers, including Pastor Clementa Pinckney, at the historic Emanuel AME Church in June 2015.
