Siewert on fragments: Bullet jacket matched #GeorgeZimmerman's gun. Other pieces inconclusive, not enough detail on them. #TrayvonMartin

Siewert talking about bullet casing, fragments in this case. Casing matched #GeorgeZimmerman's gun, she says. #TrayvonMartin

Siewert: Recieved 7 cartriges. Means #GeorgeZimmerman had full magazine and bullet in chamber before shooting #TrayvonMartin.

Sometimes he only gets enough for comparison of a known sample but can sometimes can do it even with a mixture of dna.

This seems like a waste of time. Are the state nit-wits going to prove it was not a third person that shot Martin. Florida taxpayers should be on the phone.

Siewert demonstrated trigger pull. State done w/redirect. O'Mara: Same tigger pull for all shots w/this gun? Siewert: Yes. #ZimmermanTrial

Redirect by state's Guy now. Siewert: Trigger pull on #GeorgeZimmerman's gun (about 4 1/2 pounds) "normal," not "heavy." #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
Siewert says she didn't do distance tests on #TrayvonMartin's body, just his clothes. #GeorgeZimmerman #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: If pressed into #TrayvonMartin's clothes, burns different? Siewert: "Potentially, if it was wrapped around it." #GeorgeZimmerman

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: No evidence of "pressing" vs "touching," right? Siewert: Consistent with "touching." #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
Siewert says it's not unusual to have bullet in chamber and full magazine. #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: Did gun perform properly in this case? Siewert "The gun functioned, yes." #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: Safe gun to carry loaded? Siewert: Yes, "in terms of it will not fire unless the trigger is pulled." #GeorgeZimmerman #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: Safety features on #GeorgeZimmerman's gun? Siewert: Double action & hammer block prevent gun from firing unless trigger pulled.

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: #GeorgeZimmerman's gun was double-action, requires stronger pull than single-action gun. Siewert agrees. #TrayvonMartin

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
O'Mara: Whether cartridge/bullet came from #GeorgeZimmerman's gun is not at issue here? Siewert agrees. #TrayvonMartin #ZimmermanTrial

 Jeff WeinerJeff Weiner ‏@JeffWeinerOS 2h
Siewert: Burns "consistent" with muzzle of the firearm being pressed into #TrayvonMartin's hoodie, w/ underneath sweatshirt right behind it.

Seiwert: "Sooting" visible on sweatshirt #TrayvonMartin wore under hoodie. #GeorgeZImmerman #ZimmermanTrial
