Gov. Rick Scott of Florida on Thursday named the members of a task force
that will examine the states guns laws, including the expansive and
controversial Stand Your Ground law that has been cited in the Feb. 26
shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
.
The 17-member panel is being led by Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll; the vice
chairman is the Rev. R.B. Holmes Jr., the pastor of the Bethel Missionary
Baptist Church in Tallahassee, one of the largest churches in Florida. The
task force will report back to the governor and the Legislature.
.
Ms. Carroll said the group includes a mix of law enforcement officials,
lawmakers, neighborhood watch leaders, criminal defense lawyers and
prosecutors, among others.
.
We look forward to hearing from the citizens of our state about their
concerns and recommendations for keeping our state safe, Ms. Carroll said
at a news conference with Mr. Scott and Mr. Holmes.
.
Ms. Carroll said the task force would begin its work on May 1 and hold
public meetings around the state. It has set up a Web site and a Twitter
account, @FLCitizenSafety, to allow the public to follow its work.
.
We are not walking into this with any preconceived notions, said Governor
Scott, a Republican, who announced in March that he would appoint a panel
to address concerns raised over how the criminal justice system responded
to Mr. Martins killing. He said part of the task forces job would be to
examine data that has been gathered since the Stand Your Ground law was
enacted in 2005.
.
It was Governor Scott who appointed Angela B. Corey as special prosecutor
to handle the Martin case after Seminole Countys state attorney stepped
aside.
.
The Stand Your Ground law was cited as a factor in the decision by the
Sanford, Fla., police to not immediately arrest George Zimmerman, 28, the
neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Mr. Martin as he walked home from a
convenience store through a gated community. Mr. Zimmerman told police
that he shot Mr. Martin, who was unarmed, in self-defense.
.
Mr. Zimmerman was arrested on second-degree murder charges last week. His
attorney, Mark OMara, is expected to use the Stand Your Ground law as part
of Mr. Zimmermans defense, arguing that his client had feared for his
life.
.
Prosecutors say that Mr. Zimmerman racially profiled Mr. Martin in making
the decision to follow him before the confrontation that led to the
shooting.
