Might not be that simple. His lawyer O'Mara claimed he will file and get immunity from civil lawsuits. I didn't understand that, so went looking to see what it could be based on, and see this from an article last week.

The defense chose not to ask for immunity under Florida?s Stand Your Ground law in a pre-trial hearing. However if Zimmerman is acquitted, the defense could ask the judge to decide whether he deserves the immunity which would protect him from a civil lawsuit.
