COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2014 A white supremacist who was sentenced to death<\/a> in the 2015 massacre<\/a> of nine black worshippers has told a federal appeals court he wants to fire his appellate attorneys because one of them is Jewish and the other is Indian.<\/p>\n

Dylann Roof filed the handwritten request himself Monday with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia.<\/p>\n

Roof further wrote that his attorneys’ backgrounds are “a barrier to effective communication.”<\/p>\n

He noted that David Isaac Bruck, who represented him at his federal trial, was also Jewish and that, “His ethnicity was a constant source of conflict even with my constant efforts to look past it.”<\/p>\n

In May, Roof asked the same appeals court to overturn his conviction and death sentence for the slayings at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church.<\/p>\n
