Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi received your correspondence about the case involving the death of Trayvon Martin. Attorney General Bondi asked that I respond. Attorney General Bondi is deeply concerned about this case, and she has spoken to Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner (FDLE) Gerald Bailey, whose agency is now involved. The FDLE has skilled investigators of the highest caliber, and no stone will be left unturned in this investigation. Additionally, on March 22, 2012, Attorney General Bondi worked with Florida Governor Rick Scott on the Governor’s appointment of Fourth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Angela Corey as special prosecutor in the case. Governor Scott also announced the formation of a Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection to convene immediately after the investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin. For more information about the appointment of the special prosecutor and on the Task Force, please visit the the Attorney General’s and Governor’s websites: http://www.myfloridalegal.com/newsrel.nsf/newsreleases/3FF1F801C4D80C49852579C9007FAD30 http://www.flgov.com/2012/03/22/governor-rick-scott-announces-new-state-attorney-and-task-force-in-response-to-trayvon-martin-incident/ As Attorney General Bondi stated, “When someone loses his life at the hands of another, there cannot be any questions surrounding the circumstances of the death.” Thank you for contacting this office.

Thank you for contacting Governor Rick Scott’s office and sharing your concerns about the death of Trayvon Martin.  The Governor asked that I respond on his behalf.   Governor Scott supports a full and fair investigation into all of the circumstances surrounding Trayvon’s death.  For this reason, Governor Scott has asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to provide any assistance necessary to fully investigate the matter.   Additionally, Norman R. Wolfinger, State Attorney for Brevard and Seminole Counties, in the interest of the public safety of the citizens of Seminole County, and to avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest, requested the Governor make an executive assignment of another state attorney for the investigation, and any prosecution arising from the circumstances surrounding the death of Trayvon Martin.  As a result of this request, the Honorable Angela Corey, State Attorney for the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida, agreed to accept an executive assignment in this matter.   Further, Governor Scott, after listening to many concerned citizens in recent days, has asked Lieutenant Governor Jennifer Carroll to lead a Task force on Citizen Safety and Protection.  The Task Force’s purpose is to investigate how to make sure a tragedy such as this does not occur in the future, while at the same time protecting the fundamental rights of all of our citizens – especially the right to feel protected and safe in our state.   Thank you again for taking the time to contact the Governor’s Office about this important issue.  Governor Scott hopes that this matter is resolved in a just manner and appreciates your concern over this incident.   Sincerely,   Warren Davis Office of Citizen Services Executive Office of the Governor
