I think where Zimmerman is going to have problems is here:
Quote:

held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself

If he did, then he would never have gotten out of his vehicle or he simply would have fled, especially considering that he knew police were on the way.
I think the prosecution will hit that pretty hard.
Probably his defense lawyer will claim that he didn't fear for his life until he was attacked by Trayvon Martin.
Personally I see a police department that doesn't seem to understand the law, I don't see how "stand your ground" Florida law covers it, and I think Zimmerman is going to have a hard sell to the Jury that this was justifiable homocide.
