George Zimmerman is the controversial figure who fatally shot an unarmed teenager named Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, on 26 February 2012 and was subsequently tried (and acquitted) on charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter.
On 29 March 2014, the News Nerd web site published an article positing that Zimmerman had painted a portrait of Trayvon Martin with the words "Justice for All" included in the background and had sold it for $30,000 at an online auction:
George Zimmerman: "Everyone has been asking what I have been doing with myself. I found a creative, way to express myself, my emotions and the symbols that represent my experiences."George Zimmerman just can't seem to keep himself out of the headlines. Though controversy continues to surround his name, he has once again thrust himself into the spotlight.
The 30-year-old, oft troubled man, who was acquitted of the murder of Trayvon Martin, decided it was a good idea to paint a portrait of the teen with the words "Justice For All" transcribed in the background. It would seem that for many, "Justice For All" is exactly what Trayvon Martin did not receive.
To further muddy the waters, Zimmerman was able to garner a $30,000 bid for the painting at an online auction.
