PHOENIX (AP) — Jurors were sent home for the weekend after failing to reach a verdict Friday in the trial of a 75-year-old Arizona rancher accused of fatally shooting a migrant on his property. The jury in Nogales near the Mexico border got the case Thursday after a nearly one-month trial. George Alan Kelly is charged with second-degree murder in the January 2023 death of 48-year-old Mexican Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea. Judge Thomas Fink told the jury to try again on Monday morning. The trial comes amid heightened interest in border security issues in the months before the presidential election.
