the sentencing phase of dylann roof's trial began moments ago. last month he was found guilty of killing nine african-americans during a bible study at a church. roof has made the decision to represent himself in the penalty phase. meaning he's going to be able to cross-examine the victims. the victims that were in that church. victims that he shot but didn't fatally kill. it's xroord what's happening here. msnbc is live in charleston. dylann roof is likely to be giving his own opening statements right now. what is the sentiment? who is in that room? >> stephanie, the jury just walked into the courthouse. the judge is giving both sides instructions as to where to give these opening statements. dylann roof is going to speak after the prosecution. and dylann roof has also said he'll offer this opening statement but doesn't plan to bring forth any witnesses in his own defense. he's representing himself after he was deemed competent to stand trial and to self-represent this past monday. what was also unusual on monday is the judge in a one-paragraph o

dylann roof's fate now lies in the hands of the jury. prosecutors called dylann roof cold and calculated as they made their closing arguments to the jury today, recounting the lives of the charleston nine and em popular -- imploring jurors. he said, i felt like i had to do it. i still feel like i have to do it. now the case is in the hand of the jury, the same federal jury that convicted roof last month. prosecutors called more than two dozen witnesses and showed jurors family photos of the victims enjoying life. one by one, relatives and friends told heart wrenching stories of their love and loss. system of the most harrowing testimony came from the widow of reverent clemente pickney. roof representatied himself. he told the jury during opening statements, quote, there's nothing wrong with me psychologically. in a journal he wrote, i do not regret what i did. i have not shed a tear for the innocent people i killed. and while the prosecution has been pushing for the death penalty all along, dylann roof has made it clear he wants life in

it'll work for you. >>> the sentencing phase continues in the trial of convicted charleston shooter dylann roof. day one featured gut-wrenching testimony in an odd opening statement from roof that drew somebo sobs from families. cnn's martin savidge was in the courtroom. >> reporter: keep in mind what transpired. first and foremost, a convicted mass murdered. self confessed racist now acting as his own attorney and standing up and talking to the same 12 jurors that convicted him. while listening were a number of survivors and many of the victims' families. the prosecution up there basically saying dylann roof deserves the death penalty if anybody deserves the death penalty. and outlined the circumstances of the killings he carried out were worse than in any other kind of killing that had recently taken place. it was also brought out that dylann roof six weeks after being captured continued to write about these crimes and if you thought that he had any come to jesus moment, no. according to the prosecution, he wrote, i do not regret what i did. i'm not sorry. i have not shed a tear for the innoc

we're all expecting some form of soap boxing here by dylann roof. somebody who planned these homicides. he planned and researched the different churches. he may not be in what we consider the right mind or the sound mind to commit these horrible acts. that doesn't mean he's not competent to actually defend himself. >> okay. he's not going to call any witnesses and he's going to present no evidence. so is that part of the competency hearing actually? will the judge try to determine what exactly dylann roof wants to do in court and base his decision on that? >> reporter: he will in part look at the strategy of what dylann roof is trying to accomplish by being his own counsel. this is not a circus proceeding. the judge has the responsibility to preside over the proceedings and the actual case. however, you are entitled not to call a witness. you are entitled not to do what people would normally think is the smart or prudent thing to do, but you are not entitled to soap box and use this opportunity simply to cause further harm to the ag grieved parties,
