Trial of Dylann Roof
United States v. Roof (officially the United States of America v. Dylann Storm Roof) was a 2017 federal trial involving Dylann Roof and his role in the Charleston church shooting. Five days after the shooting, Roof was indicted on 33 federal charges, including 12 counts of committing a hate crime against black victims. On May 24, 2016, the Justice Department announced that Roof would face the death penalty. As he was already facing the death penalty in his state trial, Roof became the first person in U.S. history to face both a federal and state death penalty at the same time.
