I hope not! George Zimmerman needs to be acquitted. A mistrial means a 2nd trial and a free try for the state.
Charges dismissed is not the same as mistrial.

The defense would not make a motion to dismiss, but a motion for a directed verdict, that would be a not guilty verdict and would stop double jeopardy. However, would not prevent a civil which, BTW, I think is double jeopardy.
