Happen over closed circuit video and should see a live picture coming from that closed circuit video. These bond hearings are not that difficult. The judge is looking to answer two different questions. One, is this individual a risk to citizens in the community . You can answer that question for yourself. Is this individual a flight risk . They brought him home on a plane this morning. Dont anticipate it will be a long drawn out or complicated hearing. Beyond that weve seen family members of the victims coming and going from this Hearing Center and that is the scene right now. Gretchen . How are the people reacting to all of this now . There is a ton of media there, obviously, but are other people just people who live in this community . Reporter you see a lot of media here. You do see some people that looks like theyre just observing here in the courthouse. Then in the center of town you see the memorials piling up you see the people coming together and it can really be summed up better in the words of Charles Joseph riley who said roof was a hateful person who came from 100 miles away with the intention of dividing this community and all he has really done is make people come in and be more close. Gretchen . Mike tobin, as we await now this live event well bring it to you as it happens. Mike thank you. Dylann roof may have contested a crime, but there is still a long process to go through. Hes charged with nine counts of murder one count of weapon possession for a violent crime. Theyre still looking into hate charges. South carolina has the Death Penalty which warrants more than one person killed in one act. And governor nicki haley says shes for it. Nick fatuna will give us an nalz analysis now. It was interesting to hear the judge talk about a speedy trialbail. He cant be a flight risk and he cant be a risk to other individuals. There is no way the judge is going to let him out in the community again. Hes a hateful person with a tremendous amount of problems limited education. They dont want him in the community. Lets talk about the fact that South Carolina does not have a hate crime on the books. How does that affect this case . I dont think it affects it that much. Hate crimes make it a little bit harder for the prosecutor to prove the case because there is an additional element. They have to prove why the person committed the murder not that they just committed the murder. In this circumstance many jurisdictions find it burdensome. I think the hate crime statutes are more political in nature. They show the community or the target audience that theyre there for them they look to protect them. They just have enhanced penalties. Here we have nine murders. This person doesnt need hell probably get the Death Penalty. Lets look at the states that dont have hate crime statutes georgia, wyoming, arkansas, michigan South Carolina. Youre saying he will probably get the Death Penalty as well. An admission of hate crime. Race color, religion national origin, gender, Sexual Orientation orientation, gender identity. In this case because he went after africanamericans, it would fall under the statute if there was one. Absolutely. There is a federal hate crime statute, and typically the federal statute is sort of a backstop if the state prosecution doesnt result in the appropriate result, the federal federal government will step in the Justice Department will step in. Will that happen before or after the first trial . Typically the feds wait to see what happens in the state prosecution. To give an example, the eric garner case. They didnt get a grand jury indictment. The feds are now looking into the violation of civil rights. I want to alert viewers that what you see on the left side of your screen is what were waiting for, the alleged suspect come in for his first court hearing. It may be swift, it may not be but the judge has two things to think about. Risk to citizens in the community, yes or no. And is this particular person alleged murderer a flight risk. Well be seeing that live as it happens. In the meantime lets talk a little about roofs criminal history. February 28 arrest ford possession of illegal narcotics, april 26 charged with trespassing in a mall parking lot. Lets go back to nick now, an attorney here. How does this factor at all into this particular phase of what were doing now . Because the crimes are so substantially different, theyre mostly minor crimes, trespassing, he acted very strangely in one of the stores possession of illegal narcotics. It was a Prescription Drug that he didnt have a prescription for. I dont think its going to have a big impact on what his propensity to commit further crimes when theyre analyzing this. The crimes he just committed now, nine people dead. No matter what his prior criminal history, that alone is enough to keep him in. Okay. What about the insanity situation . Because many times in cases like this that are horrific that seems to be the defense. Do you think thats going to happen here . Certainly the defense lawyers will pursue whether or not they can get support for an insanity defense. Theyll have him evaluated by psychiatrists. There is so much evidence of guilt here theres very little room for them to defend this case. So as a matter of course they will look at that. I dont know what his psychological evaluation is but it takes very little for them to find you sane to stand trial. Its just a very low standard whether you knew right from wrong at the time you were committing the crime. Stand by if you can for just a moment. Is mike tobin Still Available for us by the way . Hes not available. I wanted to tell our viewers it looked as if a Police Officer came out and did this with his fingers, giving the sign of two, which were going to assume this could be a twominute warning before we see this alleged murderer come in and face a judge for the first time. As weve been talking about now live is what could happen is it could be a speedy type of a hearing where the judge is going to be asking two questions is dylann roof a risk to innocent citizens in the community . Undoubtedly thats going to be a yes. The second question is is dylann roof going to be a flight risk . Thats also going to be a yes, wouldnt you agree with that . I think so. Thats why, in most murder charges, especially when you have substantial evidence like in this case a confession you have eyewitnesss, and im sure they have forensic evidence that theyre not going to let him out into the community. Lets talk about that confession for a moment. How important will that be . Lets say they dont have any other forensic evidence. Im sure they do but lets say they dont. How does a confession play into that . A confession properly taken is one of the most powerful evidence a prosecutor can have. Witnesses in a high stressful situation like that dont have the same perception. Lots going on with those people theyre targets of the crime themselves so theyre not necessarily the most reliable reporter of the facts. He confessed to the crime. If they dont have specific forensic evidence you have witnesses saying contradictory things this will be a very powerful tool for the prosecutors. While were waiting again for dylann roof to come in here and see the judge for the first time were going to remember the victims for you right now killed inside charltons emanuel ame church. Reverend Pinckney Cynthia Hurd celebrating her birthday on sunday. Tywanza sanders, a recent graduate where he studied business. Ethel lance, who had been a member of the church most of the her life. Susie jackson, another longtime member who sang in the church choir. Depain middletondoctor who had just started a job at a local university. Myra thompson the wife of a reverend at a charlton church. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims families. Nick as i just read through that list i keep wondering, its going to continue to go on and its unbelievable that nine lives have been snuffed out by the act of one person who appears to be either mentally ill, deranged or full of hate or all of the above. Its a tragic circumstance, and weve had so many of these in recent years. You know theres got to be a broader policy issue to stop these kinds of acts or to you know prevent these people from going this far. Its really terribly unfortunate. Whats going to happen for the kind of attorney that dylann roof is going to get . Ostensibly hes going to be given somebody by the government right . Right. Hell probably be appointed a public defender. Im sure within the community hes going to be ostracized somewhat but those guys are usually professional. A man or woman will be ostracized for taking the case. Do they have a choice . In most cases, i guess if they have extreme objection, but thats part of the job. They have to take the case. Someone has to be assigned in the prosecution center. Theyre usually very professional. They dont take the Community Pressure so hard and they usually do the best they can for their clients in these circumstances. Are we going to see that public defender at this hearing . Typically, during arraignment, you are assigned a public defender who might not be the same one, it might not be the same one who will conduct the trial, but yes, hes entitled to representation at this point. Thats the only way someone is going to present is through an attorney. Do they say, you get this one . They have the ones that handle the more serious cases, murder the ones where the defendant is really loathesome and they committed the most serious crime. Theyre the most experienced at that. They have a rotation within that group and they get assigned. Interesting. If youre just joining us we have breaking news happening right now because we are waiting for this first hearing for dylann roof. We thought we had a twominute warning a few minutes ago. That seems to have passed. But there looks like there might be activity at that door. We just learned from our expert attorney here in the studio that this could be a relatively swift process. The judge will decide two questions, flight risk and risk to the community. While we are awaiting dylann roof to come in well take a quick timeout here and well be right back with the breaking news on this first hearing in charleston South Carolina. Youre watching the story here on fox. Try alkaseltzer heartburn reliefchews. They work fast and dont taste chalky. Mmm. Amazing. Thank you. Alkaseltzer heartburn reliefchews. Enjoy the relief.

Fox news alert now because mike tobin is outside waiting for this hearing to start. Hes been report og the ground there and what are we waiting for . On the empty part of your screen were waiting for the murder suspect, dylann roof to come into that room and be before the judge. Mike whats the scene outside the courtroom . Reporter you might have noticed the crowd of reporters behind me have gotten smaller, and thats because a number of them lined up when the sheriffs deputy opened the door and they filed inside to get a seat inside the courtroom so they could get a look at roof with their own eyes. Beyond that we have seen some family members of the victims in this horrific murder filing one at a time, usually with the support of a loved one inside of this preliminary Hearing Center also to try to get a look at this person described by the charleston mayor as heinous and hateful. We do anticipate now that once everyone gets seated whatever logistics have to be taken car of and then he will make that appearance before the closed circuit cameras. As we predicted before it shouldnt be a very complicated hearing because the judge has only a couple questions to answer as to whether bond is the right choice and i think you heard from your experts saying bond would not be an option for this guy. Gretchen . Thank you, mike tobin. Well check back in just a moment. A lot of folks asking this question. What would cause someone to commit such an evil act . People who know dylann roof described the 21 shifyearold suspect as someone who was truly troubled. He talked about waging a race war before he snapped. Dr. Woody is a therapist. Great to see you, dr. Woody. How do we find out if in fact do we need to know what sparked him to do this . Does that help us understand for future reference . Just to clarify, im an organizational psychologist. But i appreciate the new title. All right. Sorry about that. First of all, when you look at this this was a deliberate planned attack based on a twisted idealogy that he took out in a meaningful place. So that says a lot. This is beyond hate. This isnt like an angry kid going out and beating people up. I want to be clear about that because thats something we really have to look at, and what worries me so much in your intro you mentioned that people saw the warning signs who raised their hand. If we know these things are happening, they can be prevented. We see that in every one of these cases, almost. I know. Its like thinking about the newtown shooting from two years ago. Yeah everyone knew he was a loner, he played video games in his basement he had a whole collection of guns whatever you feel about that issue. But the bottom line is people knew he was a loner and he had issues and theyre like oh in retrospect we should have done something. He talked about waging a war, and guess what he did it. Part of the conversation has to be how do we encourage people out there to kind of selfmonitor. The last thing we want is vigilantes to turn people in for their own agenda but we have to learn how to recognize some of these things and who to tell. We have this whole situation thats exciting now where people just dont want to get involved. We have to go live right now. Well get back to you in a minute. Heres the judge and the hearing. Ready, sir . I am. Today is june 19 2015. Charleston county bond court. Im chief magistrate of charleston county. This is a case of state versus dylann roof.

Of the nine counts of murder i do not have authority to set bond on these charges. On one count of possession of a weapon during the commission of the crime, a violent crime, im setting your bond young man, at 1 million. Is there anything else to come before this court today in regards to this case . Hearing none we stand concluded in this hearing. Thank you. We have been watching a dramatic hearing that has just taken place with regard to the murder suspect dylann roof. As you can see, he just now left the room. I want to bring in rob wheeler, former fox contributor, about this judge right now. Judge james gosnell, rob, who started off with a speech of his own, and it would be my understanding that thats quite rare for a judge to make a Statement Like that. He said charleston is a strong community, we have big hearts. Today were reaching out to everyone were reaching out to the victims of the nine people who were murdered their families but were also reaching out to the victims on the other side of this story. Were reaching out to the victims on the side of this alleged murderers family as well. Is that rare . You know gretchen ive been in Law Enforcement a long time and ive attended a number of criminal trials and bond hearings and ill tell you, to be honest this is the first time ive ever seen a judge give that preamble that he did prior to even holding the hearing. Not only was that unusual, but even at the end when he had the victim impact testimony thats what that was called victim impact statements we usually dont see that at a bond hearing. Usually you wait until the end of the trial and then you have the victims families come in. I dont know why this judge would, in fact put the family members through this today to face this monster when they havent even buried their loved ones yet. You dont agree with it then . Im sorry; what was that gretchen . You didnt agree with him having the family members come forward. No not at this point, thats too much for the family members. I dealt in homicide i dealt with family members, and right now thats too much for them to face this monster. Those people are hurting. As you know, and as youve been reporting, gretchen they dont need to be in that hearing facing this monster today. That bond hearing should have been three to five minutes and it should have been over. Thats an interesting take. I want to bring back in richard fortuna. Have you ever seen anything like that . No never. I understand robs point on this but one of the things i think the judge was doing was looking past the family and looking at the community. Giving the victims an opportunity to speak in court is not just for the victims, but it allows the frustration to come out. Otherwise it stays bottled up. The community is grieving as a whole, so vicariously they were acting for the community, and i think the judge saw that and gave them an opportunity to speak. I have to tell both you gentlemen that i was astounded at the words that we heard from these victims family members. As you say, rob, they havent even been buried yet, and these are just snippets the family of ethel lance, her daughter i forgive him. She went on to say, ill never talk to my mother never again. May you have mercy on your soul. I forgive you. The family of Myra Thompson anthony thompson. I forgive you. I hope you will repent and confess. Christ can change your ways. And it goes on and on. To another victim felicia sanders. Every fiber of my body hurts. He was my hero. May god have mercy on you. Deep in my heart, my goodness these people are already forgiving this potential monster. They are. These are goodhearted people. None of these people deserved to die. I want to mention one thing nick just touched on. I know what the judge was trying to do when he was talking about the community. But lets face it this young man, even though hes a monster, he has his right and he has his right to a day in court. Hes not guilty at this point. He hasnt been in the court so we have to be careful about that. Do you agree, nick . Rob, i do agree with you, but it was a bond hearing. The judge took the opportunity to address the Community Concerns and it is the most unusual thing ive never you know. But maybe he thought the issue was bigger than just this hearing. He had no authority to set bond on the murder charges. We were talking earlier there was no way. I wanted to ask you about that. So he sets the bond for roof at 1 million, but thats only on the one count of a weapons charge. Right. Possession of a loaded weapon. So why cant he have anything to do with the nine counts of murder . Its a statutory provision. Some states have that youre not allowed to set bail on murder charges. If you do so hes automatically remanded. He has to be held once he starts with murder. So theres no way if he comes up with a million bucks hes getting out . No he still has to stay in. What that does is for some reason if the murder charges are dropped, which isnt going to happen he still has a milliondollar bond on the weapons charge. Rob, take us through the next phase. This is judge james gosnell. And this came out about 15 minutes ago where he came out and gave a preamble to the community. Rob, tell us this. October 23rd and february 6. He already said when the next hearings will be. Whats that mean . Hell start meeting with his attorneys and theyll build a case. Then theyll go into a negotiation phase with the prosecution. Thats what will happen because the evidence is really overwhelming. I cant even see this thing going to trial at some point. I think theyll just end up reading some kind of plea agreement. Were waiting right now. The attorney for the ninth District Court about to give us an update on the court. This is going to be a press conference, as you can see, on the right side of your screen as we just heard from dylann roof. Hes going to be in a second appearance on february 5, 2016 if we can already put our brains that farah head ahead. Now were waiting for this other press conference. What do you think we might find out here nick . At this point theyre going to talk about how the charges are going to proceed, probably and what they intend to do as far as the Death Penalty is concerned. But theyve already started talking, the governor of the state already said they absolutely intend to pursue the Death Penalty. Is that her decision . No its the prosecutors decision on that. Its within their discretion. One thing i would say is that if there is a trial, its because they are pursuing the Death Penalty because they have nothing to lose by going to trial. You know if they dont take a plea for something less than the Death Penalty, which it doesnt sound like at this point anybody is inclined to do, the defendant has nothing to lose by going to trial. We did some research here. Rob, South Carolina has the Death Penalty but they dont use it as often as you might think. For example, they dont use it as often as texas, or probably in the latter days virginia for that matter. Does that have anything to do with this case at all . I dont think it will. The bottom line is this kid, if he is convicted and they do have the Death Penalty there, i dont see any way out of the Death Penalty for him. I think he is doomed if you want my opinion. If you listen to this if thats any indication of anything. And im not suggesting this kid is a monster, he is a monster, but all im suggesting is he is entitled to his rights and his day in court. Rob, were you there with me and watching from the beginning to see this alleged murderer and the way he answered the judge . He seemed tobacco be coherent . He seemed to answer with yes sirs. He also said he was unemployed and he was 21 years old. Did that mean anything to you . No it didnt and i listened very a tentatively to what he was saying. I didnt pick anything up one way or another. He was probably instructed by the defense attorney how to answer and thats exactly what he did. Does any of that play his demeanor there and how he answered the questions, enter into any kind of insanity defense . Theyll look at his behavior before evaluated, but the most important part is to have him evaluated by a psychiatrist get the report on whether or not he is sane enough to stand trial and knows right from wrong and can help in his own defense. Im saying just in this little bail hearing, he seems to understand the judge quite well. Does this play into it . Theyll evaluate all his behavior prior to going into the medical evaluation. Yeah absolutely. All right. Nick fortuna, thanks so much for coming back. You may want to stick around because we dont know what else will happen at this next press conference. Rob wheeler, stick around as well. Thank you very much. Dylann roof charged with nine counts of murder as we know in the South Carolina church massacre. We are awaiting now that update from the ninth circuit. As you can see, a lot of microphones ready for yet another press conference. That will happen moments from now. Well be right back. F gray uses oxygen to gently blend away some gray but not all for that perfect salt and pepper look. Satisfaction guaranteed. Just you and the look you want. Just for men touch of gray. My scalp hurts. My hair hurts. This is what it can be like to have shingles. A painful, blistering, rash. If you had chickenpox, the shingles virus is already inside you. 1 in 3 people will get shingles in their lifetime. Well i had to go to the eye doctor last week and i have to go back today. The doctors worried its so close to her eye. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your risk. Were still waiting for that update in the attorneys for the South Carolina murder massacre. Weve found out that its a 1 million bond but it doesnt really matter because hes been charged with nine murder counts and he cannot be released with those charges against him. In the meantime, more vigils now under way in charleston South Carolina. Were getting more information about the People Killed inside the church the son of one victim maintaining incredible comb composure talking about his mother outside the school where she worked. Were mourning but well get through it. My mother was a godfearing woman. She loved everyone with all her heart. To the other families, im sorry for what happened. Obviously you guys are as devastated as we are, but i know for a fact things will get better as time goes on. Rickh judson is live at the church. Hundreds for people stopping by here emanuel ame church. Minutes ago they were singing Amazing Grace in unison after holding a vigil walking down the street. Individuals coming from as close as a nearby restaurant a waitress coming here to deliver flowers and a card. Also people coming from hundreds of miles away. One man, an artist said he had a piece he worked on that he wanted to bring here and pay his respects so he drove two and a half hours from northwestern South Carolina and did just that. All of that to pay their respects. I told them this was a Historical Church and its always been historical and it was sad this incident had to happen. I think the Community Response has been awesome. I think the nations response has been awesome. I think everyone of all races and all creeds and genders are tired of hate. Delighted. Even under these horrible circumstances, still to see everybody coming together like this just warms your heart. One reporter one woman who came here from buford South Carolina said she was watching everyone pay their respects and she said it feels like the 1960s again. She said there was hope that black and white people were coming together to pay their respects and try to heal. Gretchen . I know vigils are sprouting up all over town but what about anything organized . They will have a vigil at the college of charleston this evening. Then on sunday, this city known as the holy city because it has more than 400 places of worship, will be asking any of those places with a bell to ring it at 10 00 in the morning. Thats whats planned so far, but this vigil breaking up we had no idea it was coming here until a short time ago. So we expect to see this throughout the weekend and perhaps the weeks to come. Yeah no doubt. Lets bring back rob wheeler, former homicide detective and fox news contributor. Lets try to explain a little more. What we saw in that hearing, rob, was a 1 million bond set for one count of a weapon used in a violent crime. We also have nine murder charges, but whats im trying to figure this out in South Carolina. You can issue bond on murder charges or you dont . No, you can, it just depends on the procedure there. In South Carolina the way that it works, it goes before a Circuit Court judge, which is a different level of a judge. This is a magistrate. He even identified himself as a magistrate the guy today, and he said that he did not have the authority to obviously, to issue a bond on the murder charges. But thats going to go to another level of judges. Now, will roof be allowed to get bond on the murder charges . He will be allowed that if the judge sees fit. But if hes a flight risk as you talked about earlier, gretchen he will not get bond. And i can tell you right now, hes never going to get out. He wont get bond. What would they even set it at i cant even think of past examples can you . Can you think of past examples when anybody has received bond when they murdered nine people . If we really dig deep in history, well find something, but a case with this much noto rirks e riety and everybody watching he is a flight risk and i cant sigh judge in this country giving him a bond. So well have to have a second hearing . We have to the Circuit Court judge come in and talk about the nine counts of murder. And i think thats the hearing in october. October 23rd 2 00. So were not going to hear anything about this until october 23rd at 2 00 p. M. Maybe, maybe not. The reason i say that is because you have to keep in mind now, roof has an attorney and his attorney is going to start see some movement before that october date. It just depends on how much they come together and i can tell you that one of the judges is going to issue a observation, a mental observation on roof before even that next court date. Breaking news to tell you about right now rod. I want to get your thinking.

Its just a little ironic, and somewhat eerie in my opinion but i guess i have heard of that before gretchen.

You hurt me. You hurt a lot of people. I forgive you. I forgive you. Wow. That was the daughter ofth them lance and several others came up as we look at the screen and said the same sentiment. Im getting so many tweets from people saying this is gods love at its best. Here they are forgiving this man who allegedly took away their loved ones before theyve even buried them. Your thoughts. Youre exactly right. It is gods love at its best. I have to say once again that was cruel i think of the judge to put the family members in front of that devil. That was horrible. I used to have family what if they wanted to Say Something . Thats not the feel better. I dont think maybe it did make them feel better but its very very painful, and i used to always tell victim families not to come to the bond hearing because its too much. They havent even buried their loved ones yesterday and its really hard on them. And thats what we see in their testimony.
