Charleston church gunman Dylann Roof:Nothing wrong with me
Roof is acting as his own lawyer during his sentencing hearing. The man convicted of killing nine worshippers at a South Carolina church has addressed the jury for the first time to deny he is mentally ill. "There is nothing wrong with me psychologically," Dylann Roof, 22, told jurors considering a death penalty. The white supremacist did not ask to have his life spared, and said he would not present any evidence or witnesses. Prosecutors shared excerpts from his jailhouse diary as they argued he showed no remorse for the killings. This was the first time Roof spoke to the 12-person jury that found him guilty last month of all 33 federal offences relating to the attack on a Bible study group at the Mother Emanuel church in Charleston in June 2015.
