Dylann Roof has been found guilty of the Charleston church shooting and must now beg for his life or be sent to his death.

A jury took just two hours to convict the 22-year-old of 33 federal crimes after a week-long trial in which he was described as a suicidal loner who viewed the nine black parishioners he killed as ‘animals’.

Roof made no attempt to deny slaughtering his victims on June 17, 2015, at Emanuel AME Church, only entering a not-guilty plea to avoid being sent to his death.

He will now serve as his own lawyer and beg for his life as jurors weigh up whether to sentence him to life behind bars or execution despite a judge’s suggestion to have an attorney speak for him.

On Thursday, jurors took just two hours after closing arguments to convict Roof who stood motionless as they delivered the verdict.

The jury briefly halted deliberations to review surveillance of his FBI confession tape before returning to court.

The 12 jurors, three of whom are black, will return on January 3 to begin sentencing proceedings at which he will represent himself.
