Sgt. Jennifer Faumuina read the findings in court of the swabs taken from various parts of the weapon and nearby cartridges.  

“The DNA profiles are at least 1 trillion times more likely if they originated from Tyler Robinson Exhibit 7.1 as a contributor to the major components and 3 unrelated unknown individuals than if they originated from 4 unknown unrelated individuals,” Faumuina read of the samples taken from the stock and grip.
