The defense delivers its closing arguments in the second-degree murder trial of George Alan Kelly. Part 1 of 2.

[@wendyc1902]

Thank you for posting! Let this man go home!!! This case is utterly ridiculous!! 🚫⚖️🇺🇲

[@lindat3607]

No evidence and that investigator was horrible. Let him go home.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

No evidence?? The bullet casings next to the patio from where he shot? Kelly admitting to shooting in the direction of where the body was found? The texts, his wife’s statement, his own statements, and beyond. There was plenty of evidence.

[@marianneknapp4846]

Awesome work for the Defense Let him free now 🇺🇸🕊️🇺🇸🕊️🇺🇸

[@angeladomer4813]

This case is ridiculous. It was his property. They were trespassing. They are NOT supposed to be in this country.

[@EfAchYou]

Judge was not judge like. He had his thumb on the scale for the government against the defendant. He gave them 13 days to present their case And only two days for defense. He then interrupted defense throughout the case. He needs to be removed. If he has integrity he should listen to the people and resign. Just cuz you’re a judge don’t make you two steps closer to God

[@RationalGaze216]

Since there was zero evidence of Mr. Kelly's guilt, the judge instead allowed legally inadmissible inflammatory text messages, clearly more prejudicial than probative, to get the jury to dislike him so much they'd convict him anyway. He also allowed mountains of inadmissible hearsay, and forced his wife to talk to investigators and testify in court, violating spousal privilege. This judge is a disgrace and should lose his robe.

We now know that if someone is too stupid to work for a cartel they can always get a detective job with Sheriff Hathaway.

[@SecondChair]

She is one of the best trial attorneys I have ever heard. Brava!

[@user-rz9cn1oy7m]

This man is and should be found NOT GUILTY!! This case should have never went this far! Let him go home a free man!!!

[@dennisboyd1712]

AMEN

[@SeanConnoly]

Does anyone else have a problem with the Sheriff conducting extrajudicial investigations in Mexico beyond the scope of his authority? He does so on official time and he solicits the assistance of a subordinate Deputy Barba, they conspire to elicit a statement from an individual who he freely admits he began to record the statements after a time, time to discuss details and lead the subject matter. Knowing they could not use this information because of a sixth amendment question they colluded with the county attorney to attempt to use it in their case and to “corroborate” their opinion of what they say the facts are. The state made reference to why Mr. Kelly didn’t call the sheriff’s department, I think it’s pretty clear, would any of you trust these people?

[@kumac7370]

It is illegal for a local sheriff to run unauthorized investigations in another country. Just like their police can’t do so here. There is a reason Hathaway retired.

[@marqsee7948]

Does anyone in the US have a problem with a rancher conducting an extra-judicial killing in Arizona? Are you really trying to insinuate a conspiracy theory?

[@straightforward]

Still didn't corroborate, though...bad on the prosecution, AND the investigators. Just doesn't add up. imho

[@GoodCitizensSpeakingUp]

Biased sheriff. lllegal >alien< sympathizer. That 'witness' was not credible.

[@FakeNewsNJ]

Not to mention the sheriff said Mr Kelly wasn’t even from here, he’s an outsider and an extremely 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@losdog84]

Is it weird that the video malfunctions when the defense is about to say that Sheriff Hathaway goes into Mexico to get an interview outside of his jurisdiction?? 🤔

[@SeanConnoly]

When Sheriff Bozo stated he told Barba not to wear a uniform, I would have asked what a uniform conveys, it conveys authority and I would have pressed him on how he had no authority and this is why Mexican officials would take umbrage. It’s the lack of authority and questionable conduct.

[@eurekahope5310]

I find plenty of reasonable doubt. After watching the testimony of the law enforcement officer (BP or sheriff, can't remember) who said their was no suspicion that the victim could have committed a crime, despite his dress, his obvious trespassing, his radio, and his proximity to the border, I could no longer trust they were searching for truth.

[@lesliegaskill650]

Secure the border!! Watch that sheriff says there is no crisis!

[@robertscutt2904]

Looks Like Citizen George Alan Kelly, Is Being Framed, Capeesh. 🤺🤺🤺🤺🇺🇲

[@marqsee7948]

he framed himself, or admitted, either way.

[@wendyc1902]

So the defense gets cut off for lunch 🤨 They're only given 90 minutes to begin with! I bet the state doesn't get interrupted in this manner...idk im still playing catch up

[@FakeNewsNJ]

Prosecutor only got 90 minutes for closing and rebuttal.

[@wendyc1902]

@@FakeNewsNJ Yeah I know he gave them both 90 minutes. Why interrupt the defense for lunch when she only had 20ish minutes left? It interrupted the flow of her closing imi

[@Tobymare]

@@FakeNewsNJis there any place to watch the am state closing?

[@lindalemus3815]

@@wendyc1902actually the prosecution was interrupted for a 20 min break with only 10 min left of his closing.

[@wendyc1902]

@@Tobymare This channel I think... Crime Talk has been posting the day in full when available. It should be there.

[@5kidsBubby]

It's a WARNING to all ranchers: Don't cross the corrupt LEO!

[@marianneknapp4846]

Hope his Wife is there now for support it must be very hard on them set him free 🇺🇸

[@barbarawray3388]

this defense attorney is phenomenal

[@KContheBeach]

Let this man GO HOME.... After living in Arizona the majority of my life I understand and can sympathize with the Ranchers and ALL other Citizens that have to live in these HIGHLY dangerous border towns. It NEVER used to be like that to this extreme.... This is just 1 story of many that these families go through every day.... GIVE THEM ALL JUSTICE!!!!

[@childtimematters513]

This Judge abruptly states we are taking a break or going to lunch. Shocking. It could be done more politely to the attorneys.

[@losdog84]

He gets Hangry

[@ron8566]

Wow - this defense attorney kicks a#^. She has crucified the phony balcony investigation.

[@shaverlocal]

Let This man go back to his wife! There is 0 evidence to convict him...

[@chunk2596]

She is a big ole LIAR too

[@Razor__1972]

where is the ballistics in this case

[@ron8566]

@44:00. What was edited out when she spoke about the sheriff traveling to Mexico “out of uniform” to conduct part of this investigation? Something smells fishy.

[@Tobymare]

Is this the am? Is the defense first?

[@tonyawells570]

Worse. Judge. Ever.

[@starboard9551]

Why does it seem like non-citizens breaking the law have more rights than someone defending themselves or their property? Someone illegally coming into the country is breaking the law whether they are smuggling in contraband or not. Stop acting like these are innocent helpless victims when what they are doing couldn't be more deliberate.

[@starboard9551]

I also don't think Kelly is guilty, someone else committed the act in question.

[@ritaparent9573]

This is the way our government wants it now for some reason. They see future voters in the left's favor.

[@emerkamp1]

Seems like they wanted this on the down low also, just enough to scare the locals into submission. It's First time I've heard about the case

[@Annie497]

The illegal invaders, coming into our country with NO right to do so, are the ones who need to be held responsible for their OWN bad choices! They are the ones who need to be prosecuted and locked up before deportation. This is just one of the plethora of injustices that have been placed upon legal citizens by these invaders. Most disgusting to me is that our own government is enabling these misfits. Every single one needs to be escorted back over the border, NOW. So f'ing tired of the negative impact this invasion has had. This needs fixing now, or the who damned country is going to revolt out of desperation. Biden is a demon and he'd better start packing his fanny pack, now. Get him out of office, then get these nuisance invaders out of our country and lock the gates.

[@kevinpantera4429]

They are Illegal Aliens, Felons!

[@ghshrug2029]

Wheres part 2?

[@FakeNewsNJ]

You can go to Santa Cruz Arizona superior court all days are posted there but usually a day late.

[@dennisboyd1712]

Is this Judge sick & has to run away to the bathroom? What's going on?

[@cindycollins4509]

This sounds political.

[@horsehide3039]

Oh, no doubt. The Sheriff is a lefty and the whole county is just wore out by this crooked stuff thathappens on the border.

[@ritaparent9573]

100%

[@sama.scraps]

This sounds to me like someone on border patrol or the Sheriffs office dumped an “accident” an found a convenient place to cover it up.

[@vcm5590]

I wouldn’t hire her to be my lawyer 😅

[@jillolson5372]

Innocent send him home!

[@dianapaxton6373]

Did he think he was above the law?

[@tammys8711]

Why did this take 14 months? Did this man’s suffering make the cartels happy?

[@kevinpantera4429]

Police never found body first?????? Then much later rancher finds body?? Something smells fishy!!!

[@jennymora808]

Thank you Brandon👎

[@tracysmith4383]

Guilty.

[@jeremy20001977]

Yeah guilty of protecting his property

[@5kidsBubby]

That's a bot​@jeremy20001977

[@idahardy4052]

No way. Daniel probably did it.

[@amandasailsbury1878]

No way. Let him go.
