(CNN) -- Trayvon Martin's parents will ask the U.S. Justice Department to review a local Florida prosecutor's interactions with police investigating the teen's shooting death, the family's lawyer said.

The Justice Department launched an investigation into Martin's death on March 19, but the family is now asking it to look for possible interference by State's Attorney Norm Wolfinger's office with Sanford, Florida, Police Detective Chris Serino, attorney Ben Crump said.

The Martin family will send a formal request to the Justice Department Monday, Crump told CNN Sunday.

I don’t they have the right to demand that taxpayer dollars be wasted in this matter. If they want an investigation, they should pay for it themselves with the money from the hoodie sales and other “Trayvon” memorabilia.

The problem for the Martin family is that everyone from the police to prosecutors keep coming up with answers the Martin family doesn’t like.

It should be apparent to everyone that the Martin family has no interest in justice. They’re interested in a specific outcome. Period.

Centuries ago, during the Witch Trials in Massachusetts, a jury found a woman who had been accused of being a witch to be innocent. The judge told the jury that he was suspicious of the jury also being witches. They changed their verdict.

Zimmerman has already been found guilty by the media. Now it’s just a question of getting a jury to sentence him to death for first-degree murder...if someone doesn’t kill him first for the $10,000 reward the NBP Party is offering. With all the publicity, everyone will have an opinion, so the prosecutor will just have to see to it that 12 jurors are selected who are already convinced of Zimmerman’s guilt. Just like in the Scooter Libby trial.

They want Holder involved so he can corrupt the evidence.

It’s not enough that Holder can tell FEDERAL law enforcement to ignore crimes done by “my people”. He’s got to have his fingers in the local and state law enforcement also.

So he can do the same thing to local and state law enforcement that he did to his own career DOJ prosecutors in the New Black Panther Party voter intimidation case: handcuff and gag them from carrying out color-blind justice that goes wherever the actual evidence leads.

When we vote in November, we not only vote to get RID of the marxist, racist President, but his Attorney General and all his CZARS as well!

No matter what you feel about Romney or whoever wins the nomination, just remember what IS at stake - to use Clinton’s words : it depends on the meaning of is is! It IS all about saving America from the destruction Obummer has driven us towards WITHOUT our CONSENT!

What? You think Presidential eligibility and forgery and/or fraud on the part of multiple federal and state agencies are federal matters? Compared to a simple shooting death of one individual that crosses no state borders and involves no federal crime?

You’re so crazy, the next thing you’re gonna say is that the nation’s Attorney General would be required to sign off on acts of war against Mexico too (like arming Mexico’s drug cartels with untrackable guns without telling the Mexican government, and then obstructing justice for the victims by covering up the evidence...)

Man, what don’t you get about the new US motto, “Thugs with friends in high places can do whatever they dang well please and anybody who asks questions is racist”?

They seem more concerned with the image and how much they’ll make from this “tragedy”. His mother has already applied for the trademark rights for “I am Trayvon” which will be used on hoodies.

She has no right to that trademark and someone should have gotten it first.

It seems like every day, there is a Martin family member running to a TV camera or an attorney. Since they copyrighted their own dead son's name, they want to maximize the gain. It's jet not working out no matter how hard the MSM pimps this story. This story has the half-life of Flucke, Fluck, Fluke, or whatever her name was. The Trayvon story is now officially boring.

Because if one prosecutor makes one decision “we” don’t like it proves endemic racism throughout the system across the nation. When the Federal review comes back and says the prosecutor didn’t do anything wrong we will have double-plus good proof that America is racisssssssssss!

Keep looking, somebody has to be a racist.

Apparently, Skittles are not a brain food.

I’m sure they’ll get more of a reply than the family of the two British tourists slain in Florida, whose families have asked Obama for an acknowledgement.

This entire country is in a form of dhimmitude to 12% of the population. Jizya taxes, suppression of speech, and all.

I think that was always the plan. They had to go “softly softly” with all the “can’t we all just get along” until the majority hamstrung its own self. Now the masks can come off. If that’s not the case, why does violent black-on-white crime far exceed the reverse, while if you only knew what you heard in the media, you’d think the oposite was true?

Here is a web site that gives you the facts from police reports and the FULL 911 calls. Not the lies the media has been putting out.

Not much different than any African thugocracy, is it? Except maybe without the machetes. For now.
