Florida House Holds Moment of Silence for Trayvon Martin

The House held a moment of silence for Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old from Miami who died in Sanford on Feb. 26.

Although the circumstances of his death remain unresolved, his death has sparked an international movement, Rep. Dwayne L. Taylor, D-Daytona Beach, told the chamber prior to his requested moment of silence. Trayvon enjoyed Skittles. He enjoyed Arizona Tea. He enjoyed sports.

Martin was shot while walking through a gated community, returning from a 7-Eleven, where he'd bought Skittles and a can of Arizona iced tea.

Sanford police have said they cannot arrest George Zimmerman, the gunman, because he claims self-defense -- under the states "Stand Your Ground" law -- and evidence backs that up, including witness accounts and what officers saw when they arrived: Zimmerman with a bloody nose.

Gov. Rick Scott has appointed a new attorney to take over the state investigation.

Rep. Dwight Bullard, D-Miami, wore a hoodie in honor of Martin during the moment of silence.
