The NAACP is calling for the Department of Justice to prosecute George Zimmerman for shooting Florida teen Trayvon Martin, with President Benjamin Jealous saying the organization is "outraged and heartbroken" over the trial jury's not guilty verdict.
"We will pursue civil rights charges with the Department of Justice, we will continue to fight for the removal of Stand Your Ground laws in every state, and we will not rest until racial profiling in all its forms is outlawed," Jealous said in a statement released after the verdict.
The Justice Department had already opened a civil rights probe in the Zimmerman case before the case came to trial, ABC reports, and a spokeswoman said Saturday the department will continue to "evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, as well as the evidence and testimony from the state trial."
The Rev. Al Sharpton called Zimmerman's acquittal a "slap in the face to the American people," while insisting the trial "is only the first round in the pursuit of justice."
"We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman," Sharpton said Saturday. "I will convene an emergency call with preachers tonight to discuss next steps and I intend to head to Florida in the next few days."
