On April 29, 2024, Fox News reported Prosecutors in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, would not re-try border rancher George Allen Kelly. The Fox report has since been verified. From Fox News. com:
George Alan Kelly, the Arizona rancher charged with murder in the shooting of a Mexican national on his border property, will not be retried, prosecutors with the Santa Cruz County Attorney’s office said.
Kelly underwent a lengthy accusation, arrest, and trial process stretching out for nearly a year and a half. In the end, the local jury could not agree on a verdict. This created a mistrial and the possibility Kelly could be tried again. The eight-person jury had one holdout, which refused to acquit Kelly. On April 23, the judge declared a mistrial. From courttv.com:
At about 2:00pm local time the 8-person jury declared they were at an impasse, but the judge asked them to continue deliberating and gave them the option of breaking early for the day.
In Arizona, in criminal cases where the penalty does not exceed thirty years in jail, the size of the jury has been set by the legislature at eight. From AZleg.gov, size of jury:
A. A jury for trial of a criminal case in which a sentence of death or imprisonment for thirty years or more is authorized by law shall consist of twelve persons, and the concurrence of all shall be necessary to render a verdict.
B. A jury for trial in any court of record of any other criminal case shall consist of eight persons, and the concurrence of all shall be necessary to render a verdict.

who would buy it? I wouldn’t live there if you paid me. How can you sleep at night?
Their must be a few left wing professors who want a dacha in the country, where, if you have the proper attitude of brotherly love, the poor refugees crossing the border will be at peace with you...
They have to have some place to put the money being distributed freely by the Biden regime...
He never should have been tried in the first place - for doing the job the feds should have done in the first place - lock down the border from invaders.
Now he’s got death threats against him and his family.
The Cartels are rolling in money and could install a compliant owner...
On second thought, I would be interested in the ranch, but I am not sure that I would buy it, at the moment.
..........I guess we forgot the FBI. They will protect the owner occupant from foreign criminals....no problem. s/
I would think he could sell out to the cartel.
The agent would have a plausible story.
Seems to be worthy of some financial support, don't you think?
RANCHERS are often multi-generation operations.
THEY won’t be driven out by INVADERS.
Lawfare in action. The rancher has already served his sentence.
“They have exhausted their life savings in paying for the defense, in spite of generous help at GiveSendGo.”
Fighting this regime is expensive! It’s cost me and my family everything we will ever have.
“They would sent an agent to make the purchase”
Yes, some DEMOCRAT politician
If not for government policy, looks like a wonderful place to live.
They are interesting areas to live in.
‘Interesting Areas’

I can agree to that!
Have a buddy that lived in an RV 30 feet from the Border Fence in Campo!
I’d visit every weekend just for an update then spend Friday night maybe Saturday too. This was 2004-2008 and it was a non-stop Wild West Show from so many directions. You name it I saw It.
