The attorney who represents the family of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager shot by George Zimmerman said the family were "praying and trying to trust" the judicial process that allowed Zimmerman to be released from jail.

Attorney Ben Crump told Reuters: "They were heavy-hearted that the killer of their son was released from jail. However, they hope that his freedom is temporary because the pain he has caused their family is permanent. They're never going to get Trayvon back".
