Bible study

Testimony eyed as likely reason for charging Roof's friend

According to an indictment, Joey Meek knew about Roof's plans to shoot black church members during Bible study at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal, didn't report it and lied to the FBI after the massacre.

Meek, 21, faces federal charges that, if convicted, could land him in prison for years. But with Roof already in jail facing federal hate crime charges and nine state counts of capital murder, why would there be a case against Meek?

Prosecutor: Church shooting suspect to face death penalty

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson read a statement during a Thursday afternoon news conference, just hours after filing court papers saying she would pursue the death penalty against 21-year-old Dylann Roof. She took no questions but said not all of the victims' families agreed with her decision.
