Washington - Artist Zimmerman

A PAINTING by George Zimmerman, whose fatal 2012 shooting of a black teenager triggered an outcry across the United States, sold for just over US$100,000 on eBay.

The signed patriotic blue-hued portrayal of the Stars and Stripes flag is overlayed with the words “God, One Country, with Liberty and Justice for All” in typewriter font.

The artwork was the subject of 96 bids before finally going under the online hammer for US$100,099.99 when bidding closed.

Zimmerman, 30, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer in Florida, fatally shot Trayvon Martin, 17, on February 26, 2012, as the unarmed high school student was walking home.
