I don't mean that in a snide way, merely that I'm interested to see if anything new has come to light which would help the defence.

Because the prosecution has little to no evidence to overturn what Zimmerman's defense has put forth. This thing with the DNA on the gun was a MAJOR thing for them, so they think, and it does absolutely nothing to take away from Zimmerman's statements. Especially since the spent round was not ejected, meaning that there were hands on the gun when it was fired. This is the only logical explanation for why that would have happened.
They picked away at his injuries, but sworn statements from the EMTs shot that down.
The witnesses are a mess, and have been flip flopping since the beginning of the case.
The wounds on Trayvon's hands are in line with injuries one would receive from assaulting someone else.
The FBI has stated they've found no motive a racial bias or hate crime.
It's just a waiting game now. I've said it once, I'll say it again, this case was completely driven by mob rule from the start, and is now falling down around the state's ears. As it should.
