Jurors have reached a verdict in the penalty phase of Dylann Roof's murder trial. Their decision will be delivered shortly.
Roof faces the death penalty for his murder of nine parishioners of the Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston last summer. He was found guilty on all counts and has not expressed a shred of remorse for his actions.
