In the wake of a grand jury's failure to indict killer cop Richard Haste, Constance Malcolm, the slain youth's mother said, "[I] am more than outraged, Richard Haste broke into our home and killed my son in cold blood. The criminal justice system has failed us, just as it failed the family of Trayvon Martin. We demand an immediate federal investigation into my son's death. We will continue to fight without rest until we win justice."
