TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- A group of students from three local colleges ended a two-day sit-in at Gov. Jeb Bush's office after he met with the parents of a teenager who was beaten at a juvenile boot camp and later died.

The students, angry at the state's response to the 14-year-old's death, said they planned to continue drawing attention to the issue, however, and scheduled a march to the Capitol on Friday.

The Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were expected to join students from Florida State University, Florida A&M University and Tallahassee Community College in the three-block march and rally, Sharpton's office said Thursday.

Some of the students slept outside Bush's office Wednesday night to protest how the investigation into Martin Lee Anderson's death has been handled. The boy died a day after guards were videotaped beating, kicking and dragging him at a juvenile boot camp.

The students left Thursday night after Anderson's parents, Gina Jones and Robert Anderson, met with Bush for the first time since their son's death in January.

The parents have criticized the governor and state officials for what they say is a cover-up of the events leading to their son's death. They left Thursday's meeting saying they were satisfied at finally being able to express their grief to Bush.

"Hopefully justice will be served soon," Jones said.

The parents are focused on obtaining results from a second autopsy performed on their son, their attorney said.

In the first autopsy, Dr. Charles Siebert ruled the boy died of complications from sickle cell trait, a usually benign blood disorder. Anderson's parents, the student protesters and the Legislature's black caucus have called on Bush to revoke Siebert's license because they don't agree with his finding.

Guy Tunnell, commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, who had faced criticism for the handling of the investigation, resigned without explanation Thursday.

Bush sent a letter Thursday asking State Attorney Mark Ober to investigate deleted e-mails belonging to the initial state investigator, who recused himself from the case because of personal ties. State Attorney Steve Meadows has said the e-mails were deleted unintentionally. Bush appointed Ober as special prosecutor to investigate the case.

The governor returned from a state trip to the Middle East on Wednesday to find the students outside his office. It was the second time protesters have gathered there during his administration.

Six years ago, two black legislators staged a sit-in to protest his elimination of affirmative action in university admissions and state contracts.
