“What concerns me the most is how much Zimmerman has been talking to the authorities with no attorney present”
It was not smart to give a statement the night of the incident with out attorney present. I have not been able to verify whether he had a legal advisor with him the next day when he reenacted what happened at the scene.

No, it was not smart to speak to the police without counsel. However, if his extemporaneously given statement and physical condition are not contradicted by any credible evidence, I think the fact that he could not yet have been coached actually lends more credibility to his account. We all know that, often, in the immediate aftermath of an auto accident, for example, a person who caused the accident will say something very truthfully such as, “I’m really sorry, I didn’t see you”, or something to that effect, only later to change up their story a bit after speaking with friends or legal counsel.
