Frederica Wilson: “Trayvon Martin, a young constituent of mine that lived only blocks away from me, was brutally murdered in Sanford…”

“Trayvon Martin, a young constituent of mine that lived only blocks away from me, was brutally murdered in Sanford, Florida. I know within my heart and will always know that things should have been different. But I accept the law. I was one of the loudest voices calling for a fair trial for Trayvon after he was profiled racially. He was followed, he was harassed, and he was shot in the heart. On Sunday, in Miami-Dade County, all of the churches held prayer services. All of the churches prayed for the Martin and Fulton families. All of us are so saddened because we have lost our son, our son Trayvon, who was only 16 years old. He had only been 17 for 2 weeks. God bless our justice system, that they will see that it should not end here. We must make sure that justice prevails for Trayvon Martin. ____________________”
