Don’t know why this was directed to me but nonetheless I know a lil bit about evidence collection and I assure everyone that the firearm was seized and will not be released for a LONG time, as in years.
Considering the notoriety of the case, Zimmerman will not want it back and it will wind up melted down or part of an artificial reef.
It was Mr. SoldierDad who questioned if this was done, even though the preliminary report, which was posted on this thread a dozen times, clearly indicated this.
In fact, anyone even suggesting or implying this was not done in a case such as this, are intentionally spreading false rumors IMO.
Anyone capable of critical thought would know this was always done in cases such as this.
BTW, your moniker was accidentally posted along with a few others. My apologies.
