About this listen

“Dylann Roof: The Charleston Church Massacre” Episode two of Death Sentence focuses on Dylann Roof and the racially motivated massacre at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The episode traces Roof’s path into white supremacist extremism, examining how online radicalization, isolation, and hate ideology culminated in the murder of nine Black worshippers during Bible study. Through survivor accounts, courtroom testimony, and legal analysis, the episode explores why Roof became the first person sentenced to death for federal hate crimes. It also confronts the aftermath—public forgiveness, national reckoning over racism, and the question of whether capital punishment can ever address crimes driven by ideology and hate.
