NEW: Jury finds man guilty of murder in 2017 Tennessee church shooting
Jurors deliberated less than five hours before delivering the verdict against Emanuel Kidega Samson. He was found guilty on all 43 counts in the indictment.
The September 2017 shooting rampage killed 38-year-old Melanie L. Crow of Smyrna, Tennessee. She was shot in the church parking lot while she walked out to her car to get a cough drop, dropping her Bible and notes, Hunter said. Samson also said he couldn't remember writing the note that cited white supremacist Dylann Roof's massacre at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015. The note, found in his car outside the church, included a reference to the red, black, and green Pan-African flag, sometimes called RBG.
The judge on Wednesday limited what could be said in front of jurors about Samson's mental illnesses. Hunter said a mental health defense couldn't be considered because a doctor previously"wouldn't make a diagnosis that would say that he was acting in a particular way because of a mental health defense."
