SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, Ariz. — The rancher on trial for shooting and killing an undocumented border crosser on his land had no justification to pull the trigger—that’s part of the opening statements today in the second degree murder trial of George Alan Kelly.
Hunley says through the day Kelly made a series of evasive, conflicting, phone calls and statements to Border Patrol, to 911 and to Sheriff’s Deputies. Through the day he claimed more and more intruders were on his land and made conflicting statements about whether or not they had guns. Investigators found nine shell casings from Kelly’s gun near the back of his house, and say when Kelly led them to the body of the victim, the entry wound in his back lined up with the path it would have traveled from Kelly’s house.
