Will Federal Charges Be Brought Against The Police Officers Who Were Involved In The Sean Bell Slaying?

According to the New York Daily News, Sean Bell's family will be meeting with federal prosecutors tomorrow.

Reportedly, Sean Bell's parents and fiance will have a sit down with U.S. Attorney office representatives to see if civil rights charges will be filed against the police officers who murdered an unarmed Sean Bell in a hail of 50 bullets.

The police officers were already acquitted of criminal charges in state court. The New York Daily News has also stated that inside sources have said that the Justice Department is unlikely to bring federal charges. If this is so, then tomorrow's meeting will be just a case of the Justice Department going through the motions so they can say that they covered all of their bases.
