Reviews
"Dylann Roof and his federal trial – the killer’s background and what he did and why (much of that revealed in testimony and evidence presented at the trial or released after it ended), the people Roof murdered and the lives he impacted, and the relevant happenings before and during the trial in which a jury found him guilty and sentenced him to die – that is the story you now have before you. It is a story which can provoke anger but wrench the heart. I think that you will find that it is also informative as presented here. I hope that you will conclude that the narrative has been truthfully told and that it does justice to everyone concerned."
