Eric Holder: Trayvon Martin Death ‘Unnecessary’

The attorney general described Trayvon Martn’s death as “tragic” and “unnecessary.”

In a speech in Washington, Holder said Justice had opened an investigation in the Martin case.

“We are also mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida last year — and the state trial that reached its conclusion over the weekend,” Holder said in opening his remarks…

“Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised,” Holder said at the Delta Sigma Theta National Convention Social Action Luncheon. “We must not — as we have too often in the past — let this opportunity pass.”
