The N-A-A-C-P organization wants to know how long it's going to take the federal government to decide if it will take any action against the 8-former Bay County juvenile boot camp employees in the Martin Lee Anderson case.

The civil rights group sent a letter to the U-S Justice Department complaining about the slow pace of the investigation.

N-A-A-C-P attorney Chuck Hobbs says the Justice Department promised to assign a team of investigators to the case. But he claims only one prosecutor and an F-B-I agent have been sorting through more than 25-thousand pages of testimony and evidence from the state's case.

U-S Attorney Greg Miller defended his office, saying he and the F-B-I have devoted substantial resources to the investigation and that his top priority is conducting a thorough and meticulous review of the case.
