CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Final jury selection for the Dylann Roof federal murder trial is scheduled to begin Monday and is expected to be a long and tedious process, authorities said.
Picking 12 jurors at the historic courthouse in downtown Charleston won't be quick, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty, The State reported. The federal trial is expected to take place in two phases. The first phase is to determine guilt or innocence. The second phase, if the self-proclaimed white supremacist is found guilty, is to determine whether the death penalty should apply or if he will get life in prison.
