I spoke with Natalie Jackson, one of the attorneys for Trayvon Martin’s family today, and she didn’t mince words in her response to state attorney Norman Wolfinger, who called the questions the lawyers are asking the Department of Justice to look into, “outright lies.”

Meanwhile, if you didn’t catch my interview with Sybrina Fulton, Trayvon’s mom, you can find it here.
And complete coverage of the Trayvon Martin case, including a brief, sad history of black Sanford residents’ relationship with police, can be found here.
