They would also have to disprove that it did not happen exactly as Zimmerman and the witness say it did.
Here is the heart of the matter:
Was he reasonably in a life or death situation? If the answer is yes, he is justified in the shooting. If no, it was criminal.
I think getting beaten and having ones head smashed into concrete is reasonably a life-threatening situation. Do you disagree?

Thats not true. you have a trial by a jury of your peers and sadly reasonable doubt is not consistant.
You can get convicted based on what you said and based on any grievances you had. Which is why you should not talk to the police.
