Congresswoman Waters' Statement on Verdict in Zimmerman Trial

Congresswoman Maxine Waters (CA-43) released the following statement after George Zimmerman was found "not guilty" of all criminal charges in the killing of Trayvon Martin:

"I am disappointed with the verdict in the State of Florida vs. George Zimmerman case. My heart goes out to Trayvon Martin's parents and the struggle that they have endured in an attempt to achieve justice for their son. Like many across the country, I do not believe that justice has been served. I join the NAACP and many others in urging the Department of Justice to review the case and determine whether criminal civil rights charges can be pursued."
