Key evidence in church massacre trial

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — - Prosecutors continue to pile up incriminating evidence in the capital murder trial of Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine black people in a Charleston, South Carolina, church. A journal recovered from Roof's car contained ethnic slurs, dubious claims on race and handwritten notes expressing hatred for blacks, Jews and white women.

In a videotaped confession shown Friday during his death penalty trial, Roof laughed several times and made exaggerated gun motions as he recounted the massacre. He explained that he wanted to leave at least one person alive to tell what happened and complained that his victims "complicated things" when they hid under tables.

Forty-five minutes into the interview, an FBI agent decided to tell him nine people died in the June 17, 2015, shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.
