The special prosecutor who charged George Zimmerman with second-degree murder in the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin is the subject of his latest painting, according to a photo posted on Twitter by Zimmerman's brother.
Robert Zimmerman Jr. said details on the sale of Zimmerman's painting of State Attorney Angela Corey would be made available on Thursday. George Zimmerman sold a previous painting on eBay, with a winning bid of $100,099.99.
The new painting is an image of Corey gesturing with her finger and thumb together, under the words "I have this much respect for the American judicial system." The painting is titled "Angie," Robert Zimmerman Jr. tweeted Wednesday.
In July, a Seminole County jury acquitted George Zimmerman of murder in the 2012 Sanford shooting, which stirred a national debate on an array of issues, including racial profiling, self-defense and Florida's "stand your ground" law.

But if he does, if we ever learn who is buying them we can determine if this is all being orchestrated.
Either way, this is going to feed his arrogance level.

That case settled, but seems like a precedent.

he appears to have at least a modicum of talent (particularly when compared to the scribbles of the Shrub).

I posted the image he photoshopped his latest "painting" from above, the painting he did before this one was a photoshop which Earl G demonstrated previously.
