Dylann Roof wants to fire Jewish and Indian lawyers — his 'political and biological enemies' - Sensationalist Headlines

Roof, who was sent to death row for the June 2015 massacre at a historically black church in Charleston, said it's "quite literally impossible" that he and the two public defenders appointed to handle his appeal could have the same interests relating to his case. "Because of my political views, which are arguably religious, it will be impossible for me to trust two attorneys that are my political and biological enemies," Roof said in a handwritten, three-page motion filed Monday in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit. The 23-year-old added that the ethnicities of his attorneys, Alexandra Yates and Sapna Mirchandani, are "a barrier to effective communication." The court will review Roof's motion and decide whether he should be appointed new attorneys. Yates and Mirchandani did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Roof has been on death row since a jury convicted him of dozens of charges, including federal hate crimes, for the deaths of nine parishioners who had invited him into their Bible study at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Federal prosecutors said Roof committed the massacre to try to start a race war, and they presented as evidence his videotaped confession, in which Roof made no effort to deny the killings.[/quote] [url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/09/19/dylann-roof-wants-to-fire-jewish-and-indian-lawyers-his-political-and-biological-enemies/[/url]

At least he's consistent. Hopefully he'll land with a shittier lawyer and be punished fully

[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;52697237]At least he's consistent. Hopefully he'll land with a shittier lawyer and be punished fully[/QUOTE] Even so, I doubt his current public defenders will change his sentencing.

[QUOTE=EuSKalduna;52697237]At least he's consistent. Hopefully he'll land with a shittier lawyer and be punished fully[/QUOTE] He's already been sentenced to death AFAIK. At this point, his only recourse is to appeal the rulings, which is almost certainly never going to result in a change to that. I struggle to see any reason why we should continue to give this terrorist a stage. His time in the spotlight is over. Let him spend the rest of his miserable little life in silence, until the day they finally give him the needle. Letting him preach to the public only serves to help radicalize and inspire more white supremacist extremists, like those in Charlottesville. Plus, the more air time we give him, the more likely it is to result in Trump calling him a brave hero and issuing a full pardon. :v:

But we'll never know with the retard-in-chief.

[QUOTE=EskillV2;52697573]If you were talking about any other president than Trump, i wouldn't believe you. But we'll never know with the retard-in-chief.[/QUOTE] If Roof was using more of a Brevik-ish strategy or was a cop/political leader then maybe, just maybe, he might be able to get Trump to make a stupid comment about him (no outright commendations or pardons, though). But he's been digging his own grave non-stop since day fucking zero. Trump's not going to be paying attention to what he's doing.

trump is more likely to not remember or know who Roof is than pardon him tbh

"it is therefore quite literally impossible they and I could have the same interests relating to my case" I mean, he's not [i]wrong[/i], but what does he expect could possibly turn anything in his favor? Feels more like a final fuck you thinking he can make himself look more martyred by an unfair system
