(CHARLESTON, S.C.)— A South Carolina judge on Wednesday delayed until next year the state death-penalty trial of Dylann Roof who is charged with killing nine black parishioners at a Charleston church in June of 2015.

Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson granted a request by Roof's defense lawyers who provided documents saying a doctor needed two to six more months to complete psychiatric testing of Roof.
