Panama City, FL-- About 150 residents gathered early Saturday morning at Redwood Cemetery to protest October's not guilty verdicts in the boot camp trial.

Today's march marked the end of the protests, but for some it was only a step in a continued fight.

"There has been a great injustice done in this city and it's not a black or white issue, it's just an injustice," said Free Spirit Community Church Minister Gary Pope.

Anderson's family members remembered him and also vowed to continue to spread their message.

"Even though he's gone," said Anderson's grandmother Reta Williams, "he upheld the way to so many more kids that have been incarcarated."

In November 2006, special prosecutor Mark Ober announced Henry Dickens, Charles Enfinger, Patrick Garrett, Raymond Hauck, Charles Helms, Henry McFadden, Kristin Schmidt, and Joseph Walsh were charged with aggravated manslaughter of a child.

The eight were seen on a January 2006 surveillance video in which Martin Anderson, 14, collapsed and became unconscious on his first day at the boot camp. 

On October 12, 2007, a jury acquitted the eight defendants on all charges. 

All this week, the Concerned Ministers and Citizens Coalition have been holding protests against the verdicts.

"I feel like his human rights were violated," said Panama City resident Summer Turner.

But for many, the protests went beyond the trial.

"It's not only for blacks," said Williams, "we're connected."

"An injustice was done," said Panama City resident Vera Mack.

The march ended in a rally for peace and the promise to keep fighting for justice.
