The side with the burden of proof, the prosecution, always goes first.

In this case, the burden of proof falls on the defense - Constitution be damned. A few days ago, one of the prosecution attorneys even pointed this new fact out to the jury, pointing out that Zimmerman had not yet proved 'self defense'.

The key phrase is “presumed innocent until proven guilty”.
