Conservatives hail mistrial of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly who shot and ... trends now
Conservatives have welcomed the mistrial of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly who was accused of shooting dead a Mexican migrant on his land.
Kelly, 75, was accused of killing Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea last January at his home in Nogales, near the Mexican border.
Prosecutors said Kelly recklessly fired nine shots from an AK-47 rifle toward a group of men about 100 yards away on his cattle ranch.
Outside of court on Monday after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision after more than two full days of deliberation, Kelly said 'let me go home'.
Speaking to reporters, he said: 'It is what it is and it will be what it is, let me go home. I will keep fighting forever, I won't stop.'
The Mexican Consulate in Nogales have since said they hope the state will re-try the case and that justice will be served.

Moreno said: 'Mexico will continue to follow the case and continue to accompany the family, which wants justice. We hope for a very fair outcome.'
Meanwhile Robby Starbuck, who ran for the House of Representatives in Tennessee in 2022, said: 'A group of illegal immigrants invaded the property of George Alan Kelly.
'After he saw guns, George defended his wife and home by firing warning shots in the air.
'One illegal died and a woke DA tried to charge George with murder. A Jury voted 7 to 1 today that he's NOT GUILTY.
'The judge declared a mistrial. George did nothing wrong. At least for now, a great injustice has been avoided.
'Prosecutors now have to decide if they'll try to bring the case a second time which would be crazy given that he was only one juror away from a not guilty verdict.'
While former Fox producer Breanna Morello posted: 'George Alan Kelly's second-degree murder trial ends in a mistrial!!
'This was a waste of tax payer's money. Kelly was innocent—the government was guilty.'
His defense attorney Kathy Lowthorp said only one
