Exactly. If Zimmerman's telling the truth and is believable when crossed examined, his own words on the stand should help him. If not, they're likely to hurt him.
I hope the jury gets to hear Zimmerman tell his story and answer questions about his choices/actions to help them in determining beyond reasonable doubt if self defense was really in play here.
P.s. thanks for keeping your commitment!
