Supporters launch effort to bring back Sanford police Chief Bill Lee

People who back Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee Jr. are handing out blue and black wristbands that say "I support Chief Billy Lee" and have begun a campaign to return him to office.

Lee, 52, temporarily stepped down March 22 after a firestorm of criticism for refusing to arrest a Neighborhood Watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old on Feb. 26.

Lee said his investigators conducted a thorough and fair investigation but found no solid evidence that George Zimmerman committed a crime. Zimmerman told them he killed Trayvon in self-defense after the 17-year-old knocked him down with a punch then began pounding his head on a sidewalk.

The no-arrest decision sparked demonstrations across the country and led local and national civil rights leaders to call for Lee's dismissal.
