Investigators also found handwritten letters and a list of churches among the papers belonging to accused killer Dylann Roof, who faces trial on 33 federal crimes including hate crimes, obstruction of religious practice and firearms charges. Roof has offered to plead guilty if prosecutors agree to drop the death penalty, his defense attorney has said. But prosecutors have so far refused to make a plea deal over the June 2015 slaying of nine Bible study members at the historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
The shootings shook the country and intensified debate over U.S. race relations, already roiled at the time by high-profile police killings of unarmed black people. Much of the evidence against Roof has been sealed but the latest details were disclosed in a court filing by prosecutors listing the expert witnesses they plan to call at the trial, which is scheduled to begin on Nov. 7. Roof also faces the death penalty on murder charges in state court trial scheduled for next year.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has said Roof wrote an online racist manifesto in the weeks before the shootings. The writings referred to on Monday would be the first physical documents to be used against Roof. Prosecutors plan to call a handwriting expert to testify that the manifestos match Roof's penmanship. They will also summon at least one expert on white supremacy who will testify that Roof's "statements, writings, travel, personal interests and dress are consistent with the adoption of white supremacist beliefs ... including a belief in the need to use violence to achieve white supremacy," the court documents said.
The prosecution experts, identified as Eric Sorensen and Jacquelyn Hamelryck, will testify that white supremacists believe people generally fit into the categories of white and non-white. "Whites are defined as non-Jewish people of European descent, and 'non-whites' are everyone else," according to court documents. Prosecutors say Roof became radicalized online on his own rather than from associating with white supremacist groups.

In a handwritten note filed in a South Carolina federal court on Friday, Roof, an avowed white supremacist, wrote, "I will not be calling mental health experts or presenting mental health evidence." Roof was found guilty on Thursday of 33 charges of federal hate crimes after a six-day trial featuring harrowing testimony about the night of June 17, 2015, when he attended Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church before opening fire on the parishioners.
He spent months scouting potential sites for the attack, which he confessed to carrying out, and wrote a journal and online manifesto filled with hatred toward Jewish and black people. Roof's decision not to call mental health experts or present mental health evidence came after he called the field of psychology a "Jewish invention" in his journal, part of which was read aloud at his trial earlier this month. "I am morally opposed to psychology. It is a Jewish invention that does nothing but invent diseases and tell people they have problems when they don't," Roof wrote.
The jury is scheduled to begin hearing evidence on Jan. 3 in the second phase of the trial, which will determine whether Roof faces execution. Roof is acting as his own lawyer in that proceeding. He still faces a trial next year on state charges in connection with the church killings. South Carolina prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty as well.

Youre right. Only because of a fortunate set of circumstances (for society), and a WHITE jury.Ummm. OJ is not walking the streets.
He did. But that's not why he's in prison. He did admit to murdering 9 people I believe.Who says this kid is a white supremists?
He probably couldn't eat while being transported. So they gave him some cheap food.
You are one kinky sadist.The only thing he should be fed is feces.
Well, they gave him Burger King food . . .The only thing he should be fed is feces.
