CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) – The Latest on the federal sentencing trial of convicted Charleston church shooter Dylann Roof (all times local):

10:20 a.m.

An FBI agent and prosecutors are reviewing evidence that lays out Dylann Roof’s movements the day of the shootings at Emanuel AME Church and his writings afterward.

Special Agent Joseph Hamski took the stand Friday as prosecutors re-introduced maps made from Roof’s GPS signal showing his car was driven to the church the night of June 17, 2015. Hamski also verified evidence showing a call from Roof’s home to the church as well as a handwritten list of other black churches that was found in his car.

Hamski also read some of Roof’s writings. In one, he talked about ways whites were superior to other races and what they could do to assert their power.
