Pretty much the only concrete, irrefutable, physical evidence in this case would be Zimmerman's injuries. If Martin didn't sneak up on him and/or pummel his head into the sidewalk, then how did the back of Zimmerman's head get injured?

I don't think calling his professor as a witness had anything to do with an accusation that he was a "wannabe cop". He claimed no knowledge of the "stand your ground" law. The law was reviewed in that class, I believe the prosecution was trying to show that he was dishonest about his knowledge of the law and that he lied from time to time and therefore could not be trusted to tell the truth about other matters.
I did not see any evidence that showed how the actually confrontation started, Zimmerman's injures could have come from mutual combat, and also could have been caused after either he or Martin were the aggressor. I am not comfortable with what Zimmerman did, but I don't see enough evidence to convict him of any crime.
