The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son's deaths.
His failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.
They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April.
The 17 year old, who shot the men as they begged for their lives, will die in prison.
His conviction of first degree murder carries an mandatory life sentence without the chance of parole.
The powerfully built teen even looked bored as emotional DVD presentations about the dead men prepared by their grieving parents were shown in court.

He told his friend he was gonna rob some crackers. I guess when it's black on white it's o.k. Why no press on this one yet we an't get enough of the other murder in Florida that eas a Hispanic killing a black?
Is anyone selling a hoodie for this one yet? Barack?
At least their murderer was arrested tried and convicted unlike the Martin case. They did get justice if you can call it that for the loss of a child.
I guess they didn't look like they could be Obama's son.
Thank you! The public outcry resulting in Obama's response is due to the fact that Trayon's killer has not faced justice. Please note that I said faced justice...I didn't say found guilty. Wake up people!!
Their son received justice!! That's the difference. Unfortunately, murders happen often. The public outcry is because Trayvon Martin's killer has not had his day in court, is still allowed to carry a handgun, and has the same freedoms as if this never occurred. Ridiculous people refuse to acknowledge the difference.
