Now that the prosecution has presented its case in the trial of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin, it might be time to have a thread on the topic. I would like us to stick to an examination of the evidence and keep away from nonsense like someone's ability to read cursive handwriting, or ad hominem type arguments like whether someone is a "wannabe" this or that.
One thing I wondered about was the testimony of the medical examiner that there was none of Trayvon's DNA on the gun. This was supposed to indicate that he did not grab the gun and try to take it away from George. On cross-examination the ME admitted that DNA evidence could degrade due to moisture or heat, but would one expect to see DNA on something just from handling it? I thought there had to be some bodily fluids involved.
