TALLAHASSEE - Attorney General Charlie Crist announced that his office, through its Civil Rights Division, is reviewing the terrible 1951 Christmas Day bombing and killing of civil rights leader Harry Moore and his wife Harriett. The killers were never identified and therefore never brought to justice.

"Despite an investigation initiated during the Chiles administration and another review by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement last year, we are unfortunately no closer to resolution," said Crist. "The Moore family deserves closure if that is humanly possible. We stand at the ready to review any new information that may be available. Justice never rests."
