Zimmerman’s Gun Held in Evidence

    George Zimmerman

    George Zimmerman, the man acquitted of the murder of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, has yet to get his gun back from the evidence locker.

    FOX News Radio’s Eben Brown reports from Miami:

    George Zimmerman has no felony record…

    (Jury) “We the jury find George Zimmerman not guilty.”

    And with that, all of Zimmerman’s property held in evidence, including his Kel-Tec 9 mm firearm, the one used to kill Trayvon Martin, is supposed to be returned.

    (Judge Nelson) “Thank you all very much, court is — oh — the evidence will be released. The evidence will be released.”

    But the Department of Justice, which is investigating potential civil rights crimes in the Zimmerman case, asked Sanford, Florida Police to hold on to Zimmerman’s firearm. Sanford PD says they’re complying.
