President Obama has appealed for calm reflection a day after a neighborhood watch volunteer was cleared of murdering an unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida. Mr.Obama said the US was a country of laws and jury had a spoken. David Willis reports from Florida. “In his statement, President Obama said the death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy not just for his family but for the whole of America. Acknowledging the passions the trial had generated, he urged people to respect the call for calm reflection on the part of Trayvon Martin's parents. A President statement follows protests in several US cities in response to the acquittal of George Zimmerman who claimed he shot Trayvon Martin in self-defense after becoming convinced the teenager was a part of a gang that had been targeting the local neighbourhood.”

就在佛罗里达一名社区治安志愿者脱离谋杀手无寸铁的黑人少年特雷凡·马丁的指控一天后，奥巴马总统呼吁人们对此进行冷静的反思。奥巴马说，美国是法治社会，法律应该能够起到作用，戴维德·威利斯在佛罗里达报道。“奥巴马在声明中称，Trayvon Martin的死对他的家庭，和整个美国社会都是一场巨大的悲剧。奥巴马意识到了审判时所产生的情绪并鼓励人们进行平静反思，就算是为了特雷凡·马丁的父母。George Zimmerman最初以为Martin是一直袭击当社区的团伙成员，声称自己是处于正当防卫而杀死了他，目前 Zimmerman被判无罪，这导致美国几个城市都进行了抗议，总统之后发表了如上声明。”
