Arizona judge declares mistrial in the case of a rancher accused of fatally shooting a migrant

apnews.com/article/border-rancher-migrant-killing-trial-a2ab06079d7cbdf1a1c4dcdb65d164d0

Quick Glance: Mistrial Declared in Arizona Rancher's Case Involving Migrant Fatality

In the case of 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, accused of shooting a migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border, a judge has declared a mistrial.

Kelly faced charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault related to the fatal shooting on Jan. 30, 2023, of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a 48-year-old migrant from Nogales, Mexico.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors highlighted inconsistencies in Kelly's statements to law enforcement officials during the investigation.

The defense argued that Kelly was merely protecting himself and his wife, firing warning shots above the group, while the prosecution contended there was no evidence of another shot being fired and that the migrant was unarmed.
