An all-white jury in Florida found seven former juvenile boot camp guards and a nurse not guilty in the death of a 14-year-old black inmate Friday. The trial took three weeks. It took the jury 90 minutes to decide to acquit.

Medical examiners for each side told different stories — the defense said the boy died from a pre-existing medical condition and the prosecution said the boy did not die of natural causes. Not long after the verdict was announced Friday, federal prosecutors announced they would investigate the case further.
