What would happen if Mr Zimmerman was given due process,and be held to the old premise..
Innocent until proven guilty ??
Only, Zimmerman wasn't asked to prove anything in a court of law. He took the life of this kid and the department didn't even bother to carry out a thorough investigation of the events, Zimmerman didn't was let off with not accountability and this assumption that this killing was legitimate. No due process was given, Zimmerman was not held accountable, Trayvons parents were not even given the chance to lay their own charges. This herein lies the problem, something Zimmermans defenders can't get through their heads. Had the police department given a damn about Trayvons death to actually go through to court, there wouldn't be this kind of backlash. It's a shame it took a public outcry to actually get a proper investigation and court hearing going, it's a damn shame.
Don't worry though, Zimmerman will get his time in court soon, and people are learning from his actions.

Would he be free and able to say it was self defense, or would he be in jail in an instance and have to prove it actually was self defense?

Do you really honestly believe that every incident that the police investigate goes through the court system to determine innocence or guilty... what exactly would be considered a "thorough" investigation by you... seems to me they set up a crime scene... interviewed witnesses... collected evidence... and then determined it was a justified shooting...
I'm amazed at how a site where NO ONE trusted the MSM
