it is simply irrelevant to what will happen now that Zimmerman has been charged.

I think Zimmerman should go to prison - there is no justification for what he did. But it is not a slam dunk prosecution - "beyond a reasonable doubt" is a high bar that gets even higher when only one side of the story is being told.

Understanding what the law actually says is important to avoid unrealistic expectations as to what will happen in court.
