Hillary
Clinton has spoken out about the Trayvon Martin killing for the first
time today as she offered her condolences to the teen's parents.
'My
prayers are with the Martin family and with every family who loves
someone who is lost to violence,' the former Secretary of State said
during a speech to Delta Sigma Theta, an African-American women's
group.
'No
mother, no father, should ever have to fear for their child walking
down a street in the United States of America.'
She
said the verdict has brought 'deep, painful heartache' to people
across the country.
Though
she is not officially running for president quite yet, the former
First Lady is largely seen as the front-runner for the Democratic
nominee in 2016.
Instead
of putting forth her own conclusions about the acquittal of George
Zimmerman, she bowed to Attorney General Eric Holder's statement that
the Justice Department will continue their investigation into the
case
