case

The Justice Department says it will review the evidence in the trial of four
white New York City police officers who were acquitted on Friday of all
charges
in the death of Amadou Diallo, an unarmed black man who was hit by 19 of 41
shots fired at him in the vestibule of his Bronx home last February.

The Justice Department released the following statement on behalf of Mary Jo
White, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York:

"Ms. White announced that, as in cases of this kind, her office, in
conjunction with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice,
will review
all of the available evidence with respect to the death of Mr. Diallo,
including the evidence available to the district attorney's office in Bronx
County,
to determine whether there were any violations of the federal criminal civil
rights laws."
