I don't think it's quite that simple. First off Zimmerman had every right to patrol his neighborhood and carry while doing so.
If someone reaches for my weapon, at any time, I'm assuming they mean to shoot me with it, which puts my life in imminent danger. In that scenario I'm going to defend myself accordingly, as Zimmerman has claimed he did.
That being said it's not Zimmerman's responsibility to prove his innocence, but the responsibility of the state to prove Zimmerman's guilt. From what I've seen the only evidence the state has that it wasn't self defense is public opinion and a statement by the traitor in chief.
