The lawyer who represented the Boston Marathon bomber has been assigned to the case of the suspected church shooter now facing dozens of new charges, including hate crimes.
Court records show David Bruck has been provisionally appointed to defend 21-year-old Dylann Roof on federal charges.
Bruck has defended high-profile defendants including Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was sentenced to death, and Susan Smith, the South Carolina mother sentenced to life for drowning her two sons.
Roof faces 33 federal charges and is charged with numerous state crimes. Prosecutors haven't said if they'll seek the death penalty.
The shootings happened June 17 at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
