Dylann Roof the gunmen in Charleston church shooting proposes guilty plea

Who can forget 21year old Dylann Roof that shot nine people dead in a church. In case you've forgotten... Here's a recap

Dylann Roof appears via video before a judge in Charleston, S.C., on Friday, June 19, 2015. The 21-year-old accused of killing nine people inside a black church in Charleston made his first court appearance, with the relatives of all the victims making tearful statements.
Dylann Roof's attorney on Wednesday said his client is willing to plead guilty to state murder charges if that would spare him a death sentence.
A guilty plea by Dylann Roof, 21, in exchange for a sentence of life in prison without parole also would spare the victims' families and survivors of the shootings from the trauma of trial proceedings, Roof's attorney Bill McGuire said.


His remarks came during a hearing in Charleston over whether a judge will release 911 emergency telephone calls and police 8reports about the June 17 massacre during a Bible study meeting at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church.
Prosecutors declined to comment afterward on whether they would accept a guilty plea from Roof, who is white and has been linked to white supremacist views.

What Dylann Roof did is Unforgivable,i can't imagine what the family of the victims are going through. But is the death penalty the best option? What do you guys think? let me know by leaving a comment below in the comments section...
