Trayvon Martin lawyer in Capital City-WLBT-TV

JACKSON, MS (WLBT)-almost a week after thousands rallied in Jackson in support of Florida teen Travyon Martin, his family Attorney was in the capital calling for the arrest of the shooter.

Florida Attorney Benjamin Crump held a press conference at the Marriott where he was attending the Omega Psi Phi fraternity of seventh District annual meeting.

The brotherhood is making a national call to action on behalf of the Martin family demanding justice for the fatally shot 17-year-old.

His lawyer said police recently released video of George Zimmerman contradicts his claims that Martin wounded him.

Crump said that there must be an end to racial profiling and stand your ground laws.

"We are not asking for a condemnation. We want a simple arrest. We want exactly what they would have done had the trigger man Trayvon Martin is. There is no doubt in our mind he would be arrested on the spot and one day, an hour would still be in jail without bail, "said Crump.

Trayvon Martin March will take place Sunday two hours a begins at the post office Yazoo County and ends at the county courthouse.
