The prosecution has pointed this out several times as key. Basically the jury will have to throw out anything Zimmerman has said because its all over the place and they will paint him as a lier. It will depend on the kind of jury they end up with.

They only need to get him with man slaughter, they don't need the murder 2. They have the option for both.
