Neighborhood watch volunteer was found not guilty in Trayvon Martin's death

In a 10-minute long video posted on the store's website, Hallinan discusses the sale with Zimmerman, who said he decided to donate the paintings after hearing about the lawsuit against Hallinan. Zimmerman was acquitted in 2013 after shooting and killing Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager, in a case that sparked protests and a national debate about race relations.

According to the website, the painting was originally an American flag, but Zimmerman decided to repaint it as a Confederate flag when he heard about the lawsuit.

The duo said they will split the proceeds to support their legal funds, living expenses and "advancing their mission to change the country."
