CHARLESTON, S.C. (Reuters) - A 21-year-old white man accused of murdering nine people in a historic black South Carolina church appeared in court on Friday by closed-circuit television from the jail where he was brought after his arrest at the end of a 14-hour manhunt.
Dylann Roof, 21, stood quietly through the hearing, providing brief answers to the judge's questions, confirming his name and address and saying he was unemployed before family members of several of the nine worshippers he is alleged to have shot dead at the nearly-200-year-old Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church spoke. Some said they forgave Roof.
