Democracy Now: Sanford Police Chief Temporarily Leaves Post

The police chief in Sanford has announced he is temporarily stepping down following an outpouring of criticism for failing to arrest or charge George Zimmerman in the murder case of Trayvon Martin. Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee’s decision comes one day after city officials gave him a vote of no confidence. Lee however has maintained his departure will only be temporary. Hours later, the local state attorney, Norman Wolfinger, recused himself from the case.
