Possibly.

Zimmerman's story was apparently that he was attacked. He presented himself to the police with a bloody nose.

Ah. Hmmm. But my impression is that the 911 call doesn't support that story.

My guess is that the there will be a prosecution. At this point, it will be politically impossible not to charge him, I would think. Let the facts shake out as they will at trial.
