Joey Meek sentenced to 27 months in prison for lying to the FBI and failing to report a crime.

Judge Gergel warned Roof that it would be in his best interest to have legal representation, but approved the request and resumed jury selection.

Roof suffered minor bruises on the face and back, according to a jail spokesperson.

Dylann Roof's lawyer, Sarah Gannett, said the charges are "extremely grave" and "under the Constitution they are not properly charged."

Defense attorneys claim that the case against their client is unconstitutional and infringes on the state's current murder case.
