“I Can't Right the Ship in One Day,” Sanford Mayor Tells Residents

The NAACP held a gathering in a Sanford church Wednesday to hear residents talk about Trayvon Martin’s shooting and their experiences with Sanford Police. The civil rights group’s local leader, Turner Clayton Jr., said the NAACP would turn over the stories of people who accuse the police department of abuse or inadequately investigating cases to the Justice Department, the Orlando Sentinel reported. Hannibal Duncan said he stumbled on Sanford cops beating his best friend. Sanford Mayor Jeff Triplett sat quietly in the back scribbling down every detail, and then came up front when he was invited to speak.
