South Carolina's governor wants the person accused of killing nine people at a historic black church in Charleston to receive the death penalty.
"Without question," Governor Nikki Haley said Friday on NBC's Today show. "We... absolutely will want him to have the death penalty. This is the worst hate that I’ve seen and that the country has seen in a long time."
