In 2006, he was charged with resisting an officer with violence. That was plead out to resisting an officer without violence. Only the plea goes to the jury and that's questionable as #1, I doubt Zimmerman would take the stand and #2, even if he does, that evidence may be excluded by the judge as being not very probative and overly prejudicial.
He and an ex-fiancée both filed restraining orders against the other in 2005 alleging domestic violence. I don't know what happened there, but it's not uncommon for folks to take out restraining orders with very little to base them on. As with much in this case, this proves absolutely nothing.
One article I read even tried to make a speeding ticket received 6 years ago as evidence of Zimmerman's violent nature. The emerging facts don't seem to fit the narrative and folks are grasping at straws.
Now the prosecutor may be sitting on some other evidence which changes everyone's mind, but at this point, there is no possible way that you could look at the evidence and be able to come to the conclusion that there is no way Zimmerman wasn't defending himself.
