>> But few things can do it to the point that it is no longer recognizable as human DNA in that length of time and leave no indication of what happened.

You claimed, for example, that the lack of DNA on Trayvon precludes the claim that he held his hand Zimmerman's mouth. It doesn't.

A popular law blog makes the following comment, consistent with your claim:

"The only place where Zimmerman’s blood and DNA are present is Martin’s shirt, which he was wearing underneath the hooded sweatshirt."

This comment is absurd. When DNA testing is done, it is not performed on an entire garment or body part. It is performed on a SAMPLE, and by definition, a small sample. You don't just put a shirt in a machine and have all the DNA fall out on the floor. While PCR can allow a small sample of DNA to be tested, if no DNA happens to be present from where the sample is extracted, you can't just mysteriously devine DNA from that sample.
