Dylann Roof, who infamously murdered nine parishioners at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church in June 2015, is set to plead guilty to state murder charges in order to avoid a death sentence. Roof was convicted in a federal trial on a slew of charges, including hate crimes, and a jury sentenced him to death.

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson has said the 22-year-old will enter his guilty plea on the nine counts of murder on April 10.
