Wouldn't he have been knocked backwards with his feet angled towards the path, on the other side of it?

The very positioning of the bodies indicate that Zimmerman stepped off the path at least 2 full body lengths toward Martin, before having been knocked to his back. I am not sure why the prosecution missed this very elementary fact
