I also would like to extend my condolences to the Martin familiy. I agree with Mr. Hugh that a full investigation is in order and that the truth be found as to what happened. It is somewhat baffling that the police never tested if the shooter was under some influence be it alcohol or some legal or illegal drug, and that the firearm was not retained. In most states bothe of these actions would be in the police protocol for a shooting death.

It is interesting that the President's comment is not considered racist. I wonder how the media qoule react if it were a similar case with a white boy and then President Bush.

This is truly a sad situation. Currently, we don't really know exactly what transpired that night. One of the best witnesses is sadly, deceased. It is good that a Grand Jury will be empaneled to determine if a trial is justified. I truly hope that the absolute truth comes out of this investigation, the truth, without all of the strong emotion that is hindering progress now.
My sincere condolences to the Martin family in their time of grief.
