This guy is being railroaded in the name of political correctness, plain and simple.
If someone reaches for your gun and you get to it first, there probably won’t be any of their DNA, so.. No big deal here. Trayvon didn’t have to be reaching anyway. Thumping Zimmerman’s head on the concrete was a potentially life threatening act, giving Zimm the green light to blow Trayvon’s ghetto azz away. Bye bye Trayvon. No great loss.
Zimmerman was wearing a red jacket that night and told police that Trayvon, who was wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, pinned him to the ground and was hammering his head into the sidewalk.
One witness diagram shows two stick figures and the words "black shirt top" and "red shirt bottom," an apparent reference to Trayvon being on top and Zimmerman on the bottom.
They didn't just tell them. They had to diagram it out for them.
A lot is being made of the lack of DNA on the gun. I’m not sure why. You are never guaranteed to be able to find DNA on objects that are touched. A lack of DNA doesn’t prove a lack of handling. Further, unless Zimmerman told police that Martin had taken his gun from him, I don’t know if we SHOULD expect traces of DNA.
If someone reaches FOR my gun, and I slap his hand away, or grab it first, he won’t have actually touched it. If I have my hand on the gun and the guy’s hand is on my hand, there won’t be any evidence.
Every time there is more evidence released, it becomes less clear why zimmerman has been charged.
In other words, Martin never touched Zimmerman's gun.
Zimmerman even demonstrates than on the video.
The fact that there is none of Martin's DNA on Zimmerman's gun - especially the grip - is fully consistent with Zimmerman's statements.
Watch the video yourself.
Is this degree of evidence releases prior to a trial common or allowed?
“...and found no evidence that Trayvon had handled it.”
If he had George Zimmerman would be dead.....Duh!
He shot him at PBR, no way that there wasn’t some DNA (blood) on there.
So the government that is prosecuting and wants to imprison George Zimmerman has determined that a piece of evidence is in its favor. What a shocker... NOT!
Trayvon was better than the best Ninja fighter, everyone later described, as he took his third and fourth hands and covered George’s nose and mouth. Good thing he was still able to blow those desperate cries for help out his rear end. Better yet that, as Trayvon held onto George’s arms with his fifth and sixth hands while grappling for the deadly gun with his seventh, super-duper ZZZimmerman was able to break his arms free from the gangsta’s vice-like grasp and pry the gun away in the nick of time, single-handedly taking precise aim and firing it directly into our enemy’s rapidly beating heart. POP!
Yes, God was on our mighty hero’s side that night because, Trayvon, who stood 5-feet taller and 300 lbs. heavier than the demure, yet pudgy George, ended up losing the war after knocking the man 40-feet south with one single blow. KAPOW! Through the air ZZZimmerman went, in the opposite direction, too, as the young teenage Trayvon, with one giant leap, landed viciously on top of his stunned target, like a lion lands on its prey.
