The only person to whom Dylann Roof shared his racist plan to massacre worshippers at a historically black South Carolina church found out Tuesday how long he will go to prison for lying to the FBI. Joey Meek was sentenced to 27 months in prison for failing to report the church shooting plot, then lying about it to the FBI.
Meek was sentenced in Charleston by the same federal judge who presided over Roof’s trial, which ended in January with Roof being sentenced to death for the slaughter of nine people at Emanuel AME church.
Meek faces 27 to 33 months behind bars. Meek said Roof shared his plan to shoot blacks at the historic African-American church in Charleston during a night at Meek’s house where they drank vodka, snorted cocaine, smoked marijuana and played video games. Authorities said that was about a week before the June 17, 2015, killings
