Roof will be taken to a federal prison in another state, where he will await his execution on charges of hate crimes and obstruction of the practice of religion

1. South Carolina has the Death Penalty

The last execution was in 2011.

Had a black man open fired and mass murdered several white people in a church, I have no doubt South Carolina would have imposed the death penalty under such circumstances.

2. Umm, no

He is already facing a Federal death penalty and they offered to let him plea guilty on state charges because you can't kill him twice and this spared all the survivors and families the pain and grief of a second trial.

3. This, the life sentences were to wrap up the state lvl charges since Feds said death

Have to remember to look at the whole picture
