A white supremacist who was sentenced to death in the 2015 massacre of nine black worshippers has told a federal appeals court he wants to fire his appellate attorneys because one of them is Jewish and the other is Indian-American.

In a handwritten request filed Monday with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, Dylann Roof wrote that his attorneys’ backgrounds are “a barrier to effective communication.”

Given their ethnicities, Roof wrote, “it is therefore quite literally impossible that they and I could have the same interests relating to my 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,” he added. …

If you don’t like your court-appointed attorneys you can always hire your own, murderer.

Automatic appeals process. Probably have anti-death-penalty ACLU lawyer-activists such as Clarence Darrow to thank for that, historically speaking.

I think he’s delusional and very low self esteem young man, who is enjoying the attention, and what he interprets as a feeling of ‘importance’. Too bad there was no Sheriff Arpaio type judge to decide on more spartan terms of confinement.
Charles Manson also seems to equate extreme infamy with
extreme significance. Perhaps it is that feeling of being ‘important’ and historic has perversely kept Manson alive and scowling all these decades.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

More and more trouble is what results from the remonstrations of the Clarence Darrow types of the world.

Perhaps this lawyer thing may have something to do with Roof’s perverse reasoning in commiting those murders which never came to light.

Before this waco perpetrated this crime he published a manifesto. In it, it was reported he referenced retribution for the series of assaults and murders that occured after the decision of the Zimmerman trial was announced.

Almost all (about 20) of which kere committed by mmmbers of black gangs who cited revenge for (Obama’s son) Trayvon Martin. One such murder was that of an Australian youth from Melbourne; Christopher Lane in Duncan Oklahoma.

Rather than use those statements which involved POTUS use of the “bully pulpit” the display of a confederate battle flag provided a welcome misdrection.

Liberals would never put up with him getting life in prison, that is why he will be whacked.

If evidence had to excluded to assure that happened that is what they were going to do.

Fool’s trying to qualify for the insanity defense. Needs to follow the example of his Nazi mentors and commit suicide first chance he gets.

What makes this idiot "right wing"?

Hating jewish people is a left wing tendency. IE: national Socalist.
Hating blacks is a left wing tendency. IE: Klan arm of the democrat party.

“......makes it literally impossible that they and I could have the same interests relating to my case”.......

He may want to rethink that as they DO have a similar interest, himslef to be found NOT guilty while those lawyers want just the opposite.

Hang him a get it over with!
