Watercolor painting by the condemned California double murderer.
This auction is for a painting by condemned California double murderer and serial rapist James Robert Scott. On 4/22/1986, James Scott broke into a woman's apartment, threatened her with a screwdriver, raped her, strangled her unconscious, beat her with a baseball bat, all before setting her bed on fire. She would survive the attack only to die 2/25/1987 as a result of her injuries. James Scott would be sentenced to death on 5/18/1989. In 2014, James Scott would be linked through DNA evidence to a 11/29/1982 rape and murder. He received an additional sentence of life without the possibility of parole. James Scott is linked to two additional assaults on women.
ITEM DESCRIPTION: The painting is 11"×15", titled Iterum, and does not appear to be signed on the front. On the reverse Scott has signed his name along with specifics related to the painting, including his name, prison number, and housing assignment. The artwork was wrapped in cellophane (the cellophane has been removed) to a piece of cardboard with additional details related to the painting (which will accompany the painting). The painting comes in a protective sleeve with an acid free board and has been stored flat. Message me with any questions you might have. Thanks for having a look-see.
