Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum is reviewing options for opening an investigation in Martin Lee Anderson case's death.
An all-white jury on Oct. 12, found eight defendants not guilty of felony manslaughter charges in the Panama City boot-camp trial.
"There's no doubt there was negligence," McCollum said.
But as for filing other criminal charges the Attorney General doesn't see any other options, but he said he'll keep digging. He plans to speak with Anderson's parents, Gina Jones and Robert Anderson, and their attorney Ben Crump and ask them if there's anything he can help do to remedy the situation.
He also plans to give an inspector general's report on the case by the Department of Juvenile Justice a hard look. McCollum said that report has not yet been made available to the public.
Anderson died Jan. 6, 2006, a day after running laps at the boot camp. The 14-year-old was hit, kneed and dragged by drill instructors while a camp nurse watched. The incident was captured on videotape.
An initial autopsy said he died from a blood disorder, sickle cell disease, while a second autopsy said he was suffocated by drill instructors who held ammonia capsules to his nose and clamped his mouth shut for several minutes.
The case has been racially charged since Anderson was black, five defendants were white, two black and one Asian.
U.S. Attorney Gregory Miller and the Department of Justice is investigating the case for civil rights violations.
