In Texas there is an exception to self defense called "provoking the difficulty." In a nutshell, you can't start a fight, realize you are losing it, shoot the the guy you attacked, then claim self defense. If Florida law is similar, Zimmerman is in a world of hurt.

It is not at all clear that Zimmerman started the fight.
