Trial of Arizona Rancher Accused of Shooting Mexican Border Crosser Begins
NTD News ^ | March 21, 2024 | Jen Krausz

The trial of an Arizona rancher accused of murdering a Mexican national on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border in January 2023 will get underway with jury selection on Thursday after numerous delays.

George Alan Kelly, 75, was arrested after the body of Gabriel Cuen-Buitmea, 48, was found on his property. He was initially charged with first-degree murder and held on $1 million bond for several weeks. The charges were later reduced to second-degree murder, and he was released.

After multiple delays related to witness testimony, Mr. Kelly rejected a plea deal in January that would have given him just over eight years in prison.

If an illegal alien breaks into your house, your patriotic duty is to give him your car keys and surrender.

because you simply say I feared for my life and “stood my ground” and they must drop the case.

Worst thing you can ever do is talk to the cops. This poor rancher thought he still lived in America where a citizen property owner is treated better than a cartel smuggler. What a country we have now.

Not a “trespasser”, not an “illegal immigrant”... But a “Mexican border crosser”...

My Uncle had a sign on his property... “If you are found here tonight, your body will be found here tomorrow.”

If I’m on the jury, “Not Guilty. Reimburse the man for his ammo cost.”

“..Does the prosecutor work for the cartels? Just curious....”

A detailed investigation, including his bank accounts, might reveal THAT little secret. The cartels likely own just about everybody along the border that’s in a position of power.

We are not allowed to defend ourselves at the risk of prosecution.

Let that sink in.

No reasonable jury will convict a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

"There is no physical evidence that proves Mr. Kelly shot Mr. Buitmea; no bullet was found at the scene or in Mr. Cuen-Buitmea’s body."

A true magic bullet. The cartels have a lot at stake. They've already bought off this administration but there's too many property owners who can't be bought so they're paying prosecutors to do what they can't do...

He never should have given a statement to the cops. They will stubborn perjury to impeach you. Never ever talk to police. Ever.

Some people actually believe the rampant corruption south of our border just stops at that border. Corruption follows money, and there is oh so much money at play here.

they do BUT a person will be arrested IF they use it be3cause the left refuse to allow citizens their rights-

The McCloskeys (sp?) had to doctrines to protect them, the castle doctrine, and another doctrine who protected them, or was supposed to, outside their home

They got arrested for ‘brandishing a weapon” and Assault or Battery- can’t remember which now- for pointing the weapon at the crowd briefly, AFTER the crowd threatened to murder them

no bullet found in his body??? Yet rancher is charged...

White Americans always at fault. Drug cartel innocent and will try for easy money in courts.
