After listening to recordings of 911 calls Friday night, the family of a black teenager fatally shot by a white neighborhood watch volunteer say they're more convinced than ever that the shooter should be charged.
Attorney Benjamin Crump, who is representing the family, told reporters outside Sanford City Hall that 17-year-old Trayvon Martin's parents both broke down and cried as they listened to the recordings.
"They are completely devastated, and they are in unbelievable grief," Crump said.

Martin was fatally shot last month as he returned to a Sanford home during a visit from Miami.
