George Kelly trial: Mistrial declared for Arizona border rancher accused of killing migrant

PHOENIX - A mistrial has been declared in the trial of George Alan Kelly, an Arizona rancher charged with fatally shooting an unarmed migrant on his property near the U.S.-Mexico border.

This latest development came after Judge Thomas Fink sent jurors home for the weekend on April 19: jurors failed to reach a verdict on that day. Deliberations resumed on April 22.

"Based upon the jury's inability to reach a verdict on any count," Judge Thomas Fink said, "This case is in mistrial."

The Santa Cruz County Attorney’s Office can still decide whether to retry Kelly for any charge, or drop the case all together.
