Do you define "support of Zimmerman" as not planting a gun?

If they didn't find a gun, they didn't find a gun. They had two witnesses who said this occurred, so they arrested him. They aren't supposed to lie about what they found, and if they can't turn up decent grounds (witness statements, etc), then they'll have to let him go.
