So regardless of the result Zimerman will pay a price for his actions which is only fair. Hopefully they take his carry permit away from him he has proven he does not posses the common sense and maturity to have the right to carry.

Why is that a valid question? What someone might have done if is not a valid question at all. It calls for conjecture and has no place in a court of law. The law is only interested in what actually happened not what might have happened.
I suspect that the prosecution won't entertain that question because it wouldn't be allowed by the judge.
