Dylann Roof

Not guilty plea in federal court for church shooting suspect

During a brief arraignment in federal court, defense attorney David Bruck said that he couldn't advise his client, Dylann Roof, to enter a guilty plea without knowing the government's intentions.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Bristow Marchant then entered a not guilty plea for Roof, 21, who faces federal charges including hate crimes, weapons charges and obstructing the practice of religion. 

Charleston shooter hearing delayed at govt, defense request

The government and attorneys for 21-year-old Dylann Roof asked a judge Friday to postpone the hearing slated for Monday.

In a joint motion, the attorneys said they already have things scheduled for that day and a delay won't harm the case on either side.

The hearing is now scheduled for 11 a.m. next Friday before Magistrate Judge Bristow Marchant.
