You can carry surprisingly small -- my aunt went in labor to an emergency room and the nurses wouldn't believe she was pregnant. It was my aunt's third delivery, and she was herself a nurse with ER experience, so it must have been an interesting argument....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Suddenly, that guy in Alien who didn't know he had an Alien living in his chest makes more sense....

Also, handwriting analysis? Three letters (F E D) written in haste/with emphasis isn't exactly a large enough sample to put a lot of faith in.
What I read was saying the could tell the tape was applied bottom to top. I think, if I read it right, no other DNA found on: gag, tape, or body. Which is not to say it could not be something else.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There were also, you know, the threats to commit suicide he gave to his friends and family.

I think I'm going to take up a collection to hire the TIAA Cref cafeteria workers who have been protesting across the street for the past THREE WEEKS. I don't even need them to do any actual work, I just want the drum-beating and whistle-blowing and "honk if you support union labor" honking to STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP. I'm a huge supporter of unions and I hope they win, but HOLY MOTHER OF GOD THE WHISTLES.

Oh dear - is it a SAP product? I've had that issue a few times. (Not the entire FAQ, but every now and then there's an error message that somebody forgot to translate.)
