as per the judges instructions... If you believe it's possible that Zimmerman was not acting in self defense, you must find him not guilty.

The way a trial this is supposed to work is that the prosecution is supposed to offer a theory as to exactly what happened at every step and then prove it to the extent that there can be no doubt that it happened exactly that way.
