A South Carolina judge is scheduled to hold an additional hearing for the case of Dylann Roof, a white man charged with shooting and killing nine black churchgoers.
One year after the shooting, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel will hold the hearing on Tuesday regarding the status of 22-year-old Roof. The alleged shooter is charged with federal counts of hate crime and faces nine murder counts at the state level.
State prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Roof upon his trial that will start in January 2017.
