Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Middleton said he is personally opposed to the death penalty but had accepted that as the sentence Roof received.
40% : Following his federal trial, Roof was given nine consecutive life sentences after pleading guilty in 2017 to state murder charges, leaving him to await execution in a federal prison and sparing his victims and their families the burden of a second trial.
30% : The review comes after a historic run of capital punishment at the end of the Trump administration, which carried out 13 executions in six months.
