Trayvon Martin's DNA Not Found on George Zimmerman's Gun

On Wednesday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported that there was no trace of Trayvon Martin's DNA on George Zimmerman's gun. In fact, the only DNA that could be identified on the 9mm grip was that of Zimmerman.  Zimmerman's DNA was also present on the holster, although the forensics team could not determine if Martin's DNA was present there. The results of the DNA test seem to contradict Zimmerman's account of the February 2012 events, where he said Martin grabbed for the gun before Zimmerman took it away and 'had to take [Martin's] life.' Zimmerman is currently being charged with second-degree murder in Sanford, FL. He is arguing self-defense.
