Arizona Rancher Will Not Face Retrial in Border Shooting Case

Prosecutors have decided not to pursue a retrial for George Alan Kelly, whose trial ended in a hung jury last month.

  • George Alan Kelly, accused of fatally shooting a Mexican national on his Arizona ranch, will not be retried after the jury failed to reach a verdict.
  • The decision follows a mistrial declared due to a deadlocked jury, with the case potentially being dismissed with prejudice.
  • Mexico plans to sue Kelly, working with the victim's family, despite the end of criminal proceedings in the U.S.
  • Kelly claims he fired warning shots and did not directly target the victim, a stance that has polarized public opinion.
  • The case has garnered significant media attention, influencing discussions on border security and legal justice.
