A federal court judge in South Carolina set November 7 as the start of Dylann Roof's death penalty trial.
The court is considering calling 1,200 to 1,500 potential jurors from around the state to be considered to sit on the jury.
The decision to try Roof in federal court effectively ends the debate over whether he would be tried in state court first — last month, the state-level trial was pushed back to at least January 2017.
