Former State-Attorney that handled the Trayvon Martin case has died.

Former State Attorney Norm Wolfinger dead at age 70

Norm Wolfinger, who served as elected state attorney for Seminole and Brevard counties for 28 years, has died.

He died at home last night in Titusville after a year-long battle with cancer, co-workers said. He was 70.

Wolfinger retired in 2012, opting not to campaign and seek another four-year term. His cancer diagnosis came later, said Phil Archer, his successor.

"His advice to me when I took over and won was, 'Do the right thing, and you will sleep at night.' More than anything he'll be remembered for his integrity and sense of right and wrong." Archer said today.
