Did they already have the trial?

Last time I checked, in order for someone to be sentenced a trial has to be complete with a jury returning a guilty verdict or in some occasions the defended enters a plea of guilty thus bypassing a trial.

Probably best because sounds like he wanted an audience,I'm just glad they didn't have a trial like they did with OJ.

we live in a banana republic where the sentence is handed down before there is a sham trial.
He was tried and convicted. He had his due process. He was seen on camera walking into the church and seen walking out with the gun in his hand. I'm certain ballistic reports told the rest of the story. Open and shut case

He also confessed so I'm thinking the trial should have taken about five minutes

Because I didn't know since he wanted to defend himself.
Ok....just so we're clear. The headline of this thread is....."Dylan Roof sentenced to death"......but you needed to ask if there was a trial because you thought he was defending himself?

Now I have to ask....what does him defending himself have anything to do with the price of tea in china? I mean...I'm not trying to be mean here...maybe just trying to gain some insight into why you are incredibly difficult to have a normal conversation with.

All that to try to question my Integrity,see why I said,I think you really are just looking for an argument,not a discussion.All your post start out with substance and then before you end your post,a parting shot/Insult.I dont trust your motives but I digress.

Haven't you ever said something like the word REALLY ?or FOR REAL?or SERIOUSLY? or YOU'RE JOKING,RIGHT?.That's All I meant by"they already had the trial.?"

Young man withdraws from his peers, skips school (from the 10th grade) starts acting very strangely, stops dressing well and grooming himself, gets rings around his eyes, starts posing with guns and posting all sorts of crazy things online. Then shoots up a school and is sentenced to death without a mandatory mental health examination.

IMO, the schoolteachers and counsellors who should have recognised that these are symptoms of severe mental illness, have failed miserably. And America, just like it always does, puts its hands up in the air, absolves itself of all social responsibility and hands down an execution.

And a couple of weeks later, it'll happen all over again somewhere else.

Sorry Moko it is NOT school teachers job to raise children, that's the parents job. Sirk, you think this is a banana republic, feel free to leave. This entire situation is tragic from the murder of worshipers to a sentence that takes another life but does nothing to prevent or even lessen crime.
