Whether Zimmerman was "reasonable" in his claim of self-defense (an affirmative defense) is a question for the jury if the state/county finds probable cause to charge him for manslaughter (or murder, but I'll be surprised there).

The question is whether or not Zimmerman acted as a reasonable man would act. If the state has probable cause that he did not, they will charge him, and a jury will make the ultimate decision.
