Maybe if he minded his own business he would have a happy future, but instead he decided to play tough-guy vigilante, and now his life will never be happy again.
Game over - Zimmerman loses, no matter how it turns out. Congrats!

The more I read about the case the more I think he will not be found guilty of Murder Two, however, my understanding is that they jury could still sentence him to Manslaughter.
like you say, even if he walks away free, there will be a civil case that will bankrupt him either through legal fees or by losing the case and having Martin's family collecting on him for the rest of his life.
Not to mention he will be one of those guy walking around that many people will assume got away with murder.
His only hope is that he beats all the charges, wins his civil case and then is offered big money for a book deal and the right to his story for a TV movie. He could take that cash and disappear.
