Attorneys for convicted church shooter Dylann Roof have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide how to handle disagreements over mental illness-related evidence between capital defendants and their attorneys.
Authorities have said Roof opened fire during a 2015 Bible study at Mother Emanuel AME Church, killing nine members of the Black South Carolina congregation.
Roof fired his legal team and represented himself at sentencing, purportedly to keep jurors from hearing evidence about his mental health. Roof is the first person sentenced to death in the U.S. for a federal hate crime, the Associated Press reported.
