The prosecution is wrapping up its case. Doesn't look like they have a smoking gun to present.
The DNA specialist (Gorgone) is on the stand.
-GUN: George's gun grip had a mixture of DNA - George's and somebody else's (not Travyon's).
-TRAYVON'S HANDS: Travyon had none of George's DNA under his nails.
-TRAYVON'S CLOTHES: One stain on Trayvon's gray sweatshirt contained George's DNA, one contained Trayvon's, and one contained a mixture of both George's and Trayvon's DNA.
-ZIMMERMAN'S JACKET: Two stains on Zimmerman's jacket contained a mixture of George's and Trayvon's DNA.
Trayvon's mom Sybrina may testify for the prosecution as their final witness.
The prosecution really needs to expertly link all of the pieces together during its Closing Statement, especially the implications of the forensics and George's state of mind. Their narrative is very loose, imo. I think Zimmerman has a decent chance of being acquitted, as it stands now.
Wonder if the defense will call any witnesses. O'Mara might not feel it's necessary.
