Bombshell Evidence Revealed in AZ Rancher's Murder Trial During Opening Statements
Opening statements took place on Friday where both state and defense plead their cases on alleged killer George Kelly. During these opening statements, shocking evidence such as 911 calls and images were released and shown to the jury. On January 30th, 2023, 75-year-old Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly allegedly shot and killed Gabriel Cuen Buitimea, whom he accused of trespassing on his ranch in Keno Springs after crossing the Mexican border. Kelly and his wife were concerned about cartels trafficking drugs and people before the deadly incident happened. Reports also say Butimea had a history of illegally crossing the border. Kelly is charged with second-degree murder and aggravated assault.

She shouldn’t have been allowed to call the AK an “assault rifle” 🤦🏼♂️
The illegal invading trespasser dressed in cammo down to his shoes & backpack and fanny pack, had a radio and a cell phone. Is he the trafficker bringing the illegal Honduran named Daniel into the country? How much is the cartel paying the DA to prosecute this bogus case?
Prosecutor is calling this trespasser ""Gabriel" to humanize him to the jury.
I'd like to know how much they're paying the judge.
Of course you have George Soros back DA's prosecutors judges that don't care about our rights they care more about the criminals rights. Vote these people out of office
Opening statements start at 1:34:00
If Heaven is real, that's where you were sent from❤
Thx
Thank you for cutting to the chase
👍👍
And State’s one ends at 5:20:18
Prosecutor stated the illegal aliens could see the horse but could not see the house. Sure ! LMAO
It's a stealth-house.
@@jeremyrainmanghost house
We will always support this channel. They're always one of the best.
The fact that this man was even arrested is an absolute travesty.
I don’t think you should be able to shoot someone just because they walk across your property, but I don’t live on the Mexican border! I don’t know how far he lives away from anyone else when she makes the comment that nobody else heard a gunshot. Is she relying on the other illegal immigrant testimony?
This poor man should not even be charged!! He was defending himself and his property! Arizona is soo corrupt. Disgusting.
The guy was shot in the back, that’s not self defense
@@aaronmantle8218the guy should not have been on his land
@@melissa74066 he has 170 acres, still crazy to shoot someone that far away without knowing if they were a threat or not
@@LXIXXshould he sit in the window all day and night to make sure they dont circle back?
Can’t
Dear Prosecuting Attorney - I skipped over the last two large segments of your opening statement. You repeated you self over and over again. If I were on the jury I would find the guy NG just based on your opening statement.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
It is awful. But I couldn’t imagine living there. I guess the radio was for sports scores and not for talking to cartel
We live on land in northern Az. I expect to be encountering illegal, drug, and human traffickers any day now. Nice to know that the law is against the US citizen, and for the cartels and their workers!!
Prosecutor gave the worst, longest, & most unintriguing opening statement.
May be because you're a 2nd ammendment gun nut?
I agree
The prosecution's opening statement should have ended after the first 5 minutes. My goodness it draggggggggggggged on! YIKES, the defense droned on and on and on too! FFS. Get it together Arizona. You don't have to try the entire case during opening statements.
So painful to listen to…. “And here’s the dog that found a spent casing…” There is no need for that in opening statements! Unless she just wanted to show a cute dog photo.
That was the worst opening statement I have ever heard, not to mention it being the prosecution's !!! Absolutely aweful !!
The illegal immigrant had broken how many laws before entering the Defendants property? WTF is happening to our own country?
Woke wan - - rs are in charge instead of Patriots.
There's no need to present the entire case in the opening.
NOT GUILTY! Never should have been charged!
The opening statement was way too long.
The trial is expected to take at least until April 19th, so it takes a while to explain everything that will potentially be presented.
@@huma474You don't have to explain everything that may be presented word for word. It's called summarizing
Waaaay too long!!! Ridiculous! I’d say 9 out of 10 top prosecutors would say 30-45 mins max!
Free George! & Daniel Penny while you're at it!
This Prosecutor in opening statements is horrible.
I agree. Pathetic
The scariest thing is that initially they charged him with first degree murder…
I thought Americans had the right to defend their property? I’m willing to learn if I’m wrong…
You have the right to protect your property from threats. A person walking 115 yards in the distance doesn’t require the use of deadly force, as it doesn’t put you at risk of any bodily harm.
AZ has Castle Law where u have right to defend property.
@@catholicfaithofmine2664Not applicable. As this shooting occurred outside of his home.
It's not legal to use deadly force to protect property.
Was he on the man's property?
Methinks she is trying to break the Nuremberg record for the longest opening statement.
Listening to the prosecutor droning on and on feels like we're Crouching to Armageddon. She would add years on a ming vase. Definitely a favourite for the waffler of the year award. Desperate altogether, so she is.
So, how many fence lines did the illegal cross before he was shot?
Doesn't matter, that isn't an executable offense.
@@h00k57 Actually, it is. It has historically been legal to use deadly force against those trespassing on your property, particularly if you give warnings beforehand (but not always). SCOTUS has bent itself towards historical truth in gun use laws, so expect the interpretations to change back to their historical standard.
@@h00k57Never said it was. that is why they are having a trial.
@jeremyrainman yea how about test your theory and see hownmany years it lands you in jail. Probably will rot in there !
@@h00k57yes it is.
This case should not be considered in a vacuum but in the setting of the insanity going on at our border! George had had enough! Understandably!
All charges should be dropped!
Prosecutor can’t even call it a border. She called it a “line”. SMH.
@@YourBoeingBenefitBrainmodonna calls it the borderline
@@garysmith1863feels like I'm going to lose my mind
She is giving the "evidence" because she is not under oath.
What she says has to be evidence or she cant say it.
@@abraxas511 yes and no. These are opening statement. They don't give evidence. They give a story and tie it to the eventual evidence that will be seen. "They were wearing camos" is not giving evidence. If for some strange reason they don't present the evidence, I don't think there is anything wrong with that.. A closing statement must adhere to the facts that have been presented and in proper context. I believe the objection would be facts not in evidence. Words would then be stricken and you'd probably be admonished by the judge. If you continue, you'd be found in contempt. Their hypothesis of the crime has to follow evidence, it would be really weird if it didn't. "Mr. Kelly walked out of his spaceship with his spatula."
This is the GEORGE that I will stand by!!
What's with the woman talking to the clipboard?
Probably translating
Translator, they cover their face so that it doesn't project their translations towards any microphones that may be around.
I hate when the opening statements are longer than the trial. Get it going we want evidence not rambling
Not true obviously, get over yourself, this is the way we do things. Don't like it? Don't let the door hit you, move to Afghanistan
wish we could see the pictures
Guess we should learn from this case. Dont call 911!!!
Her calling it a semi-automatic assault rifle is driving me crazy. It is not an "Assault Rifle", it is a 22 caliber rifle that, like most handguns, is semi-automatic yet she does not call his handgun a semi-automatic assault pistol/revolver......so condescending....
11 to 1 for acquittal. No retrial.
To point out the obvious flaw in the defense, she keeps talking about what he thought and what he heard. I guarantee you he is not going to be on the stand so she's just shoveling manure.
Attorneys opening/ closing statements are not to be seen as “evidence.”
She’s “shoveling manure” based on what her client told her. That’s not exactly a “flaw”-but a “duty.”
Did they give him warning when they invaded his property?
You don't have too but yes he did
@@cristinanash12what a considerate criminal warning people of his presence! There’s a first for everything
Apparently George was laying on the ground if he was actually who shot the criminal.
The amount of people who think it's okay to murder someone, just because that someone is on their property, is pretty scary. I feel for all the delivery drivers and meter readers in the USA, must be very stressful.
Or 19 yr old girls that pulled into the wrong driveway to turn around...
Perhaps the cartel took the shot and those people were evading the cartels demands for money
@@lukeamato423😮
The audio is atrocious!
Defence's reasoning for the "animal' comment is nothing short of diabolical. She's insulting the jurors intelligence.
I’m confused as to why they’re charging him? Crazy Crazy 🤦🏻♀️ Okay Bc Someone Made a Comment about My Comment I don’t want anyone else To Take What I’m saying too literally. I Understand Why They’re Charging him, I Certainly don’t Agree. Some Individuals have a mind of a 5 year old ( @JoshuaDstarks for example) I Want to be clear 💯🤩
Trespassing isn't an executable offense. There's no proof he's been shot at. The only fool here is the one shooting people for being on his "property"
@@h00k57the only criminals are the illegal aliens.
Because murder is a crime and, despite your xenophobia, migrants are still protected under our constitution.
Because he killed someone, Sherlock. I bet you get confused a lot in life.
What’s the bombshell evidence?
Prosecutor list me after the first 30 minutes. She’s basically repeating the same thing. Jurors don’t need to hear all that in opening. KISS
Way to long waiting for the judge to come out of his chambers
Omg the sniffles in the microphone are getting on my nerves .....lol
He better continued living in Montana
What was the bombshell evidence?
basically the full description of what was alleged to have happened as the full idea of the case wasn't revealed before trial.
Defense made sense if you disregard defendant had 3 different stories about what happened. Liar liar pants 👖 on 🔥 .
That Daniel guy is gonna get US passport shortly.
What is a Assault Rifle?
Not guilty Not guilty Not guilty
GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY
You are all crazy trumpeters😂😂😂😂
@@monika3018innocent until proven guilty. What does trumpeters have to do with an opening statement? Pathetic liberal
@@SteveAustin-jp3evtRUMP has been fomenting violence since Day 1
I thought would be easy. But may be an interesting trial. I don’t think shoot at someone off in distance but also understand his fear of living there ave cartel activities. Also, if Daniel is lying then NG no matter what because why they trying to make it seem he was there to try and bury Mr. Kelly
Guy using an AK-47 shooting off rounds after rounds aimed at 2 guys and only hits once - - not buying it. Rancher is innocent if that is the prosecutor’s case.
I agree
The judge needs to instruct the defense attorney that is sitting down during openings to stop with all of the antics while her partner is up there, giving opening statement
What do you mean? Could you give a time stamp cos I must’ve missed it or skipped forward a couple of minutes cos I didn’t hear or see anything
I agree@@lewis18051
Shall see; is it possible he didn’t shoot that way or if he did hit victim accidental and was shooting at other group. If so NG. Surprised Arizona would even bring this to trial. Maybe trying change image
May George be victorious
He wont be
The facts are not on his side.
@@janicearroyo-wright8529 Care to elaborate?
Remember in this new world, cops get found guilty for doing their job, parents get found guilty for what their child does, and people are found not guilty if their skin color is to dark.
@@notsorryyouretriggeredinnocent until proven guilty
What she says is not evidence.
Yes, its an opening statement. In the normal fashion of a trial - Tell them what you're going to show them, Show them, Tell them what you have shown them. Opening statement, presentation of evidence, closing arguments.
Defendant was just not smart in how he went about this. Say, “ I felt scared for my life with all the cartel members around here.That’s it
The United States used to be a decent place. Sadly today not so much
No ifs, ands, or buts about it: You cannot shoot someone just for trespassing! Guilty!
Now brenna larkin is a great defense att. She will have a great career ahead of her.
She has 100s of miles to go to convince me he is guilty. Why isn’t this on tv like they said it would be?
No he has alot to prove to be considered innocent ....he shot and killed someone for no reason
@@lukeamato423 that’s not what presumed innocent until proven guilty means.
This is not on television because television is mainly the mainstream media and the mainstream media has an agenda they don't want you to hear about everything happening at the border
@@lukeamato423if it was known he killed the guy, there would be no trial. They don't know. Remember, in his FIRST call to the BP, he claimed to have heard a gunshot that got him up from his lunch in the first place, before he started shooting.
This whole case is nonsense. I can’t believe the judge interrupted defenses opening statements just to take a quick break. Pretty unprofessional imo.. also what kind of police don’t record interviews.. crooked
Caamo? Hiding or hunting? Wow ppl bleed when shot. Radio or sidearm at distance. She keeps saying, hard to see. Fence line should have been a warning. X2 How does bullet line up with house when guy is lying on ground? The ppl crossing on to his property where the ones acting recklessly.
Leave this poor innocent man alone
He killed somebody he’s not innocent
Very cryptic 911 call considering he was “brave” enough to pick up that AR and start shooting. Sounds like some who knows he did something wrong and illegal, but doesn’t want to face the consequences of that decision and choice he made. 🤔 Very interesting…and telling. 🤨
The only thing he’s guilty is protecting the border. Too bad our government won’t do it.
Im a George fan!
The single bullet was never found. They cannot connect the guns owned by the rancher to the crime. End of story.
Is Mr Kelly, the Defendant paying for his Lawyers or are they free from the State? If he's paying, how much is an estimated cost per day/trial?
At one point he was considered indigent & would have public defenders. Not sure if that has changed.
@@courtkuykendall If he has to pay for his Lawyers, he'll probably lose his house and all his savings. Is there a way to prevent that?
Absolutely sickening what is happening in this country. This case should have never been filed. 😡
@@sanfranciscobay they raised money through givesendgo for his bail so I bet they’ve been able to raise more! At least I sure hope so!
If non-citizens get free debit cards & housing & food, the real citizen gets free legal defense.
Guilty of nothing.
Wait… is this case on behalf of a “victim” who is not even a US Citizen? WTH has this world come to… shame on this prosecutor. The fact that illegal aliens have any rights in our country… I’ve lost hope in our judicial system.
Are you saying that if a terrorist comes for country is killed here wishing prosecute because they're not even US citizens?
@@theoldman2821 Could you please try again. That sentence makes no sense.
@@theoldman2821Try that again,in English preferably.
Let me enlighten you; the US system prosecutes acts of violence/crime no matter the subject, no matter the perpetrator… what matter is that it happened HERE. That’s why we have extradition treaties 🤨…. The law is applied to who ever breaks the law… what is so difficult and non-patriotic about that?
@@MrGrumpyGills To rephrase what he was trying to say " Brown people are scary and I want to hurt them because I don't like them"
not guilty
Set him free jury do the right thing
Somebody needs to pay for his attorneys maybe by a GoFund Me page
Yeah? Well get on it.
I don’t think gofund me allows that since he’s the defendant
I googled it & gofundme took his fundraiser down. He did raise enough for bail through givesendgo. I’m not sure if it’s still active, the one I found is hard to tell if it’s his real one or not
No one is stopping you….
How could this guy just shoot his gun not knowing who or what he was shooting at !! What if it was a child that wandered off and ended up on this guy’s property ?? Unless he was in danger of being shot himself why shot someone in the back ?? He should have called and had the authorities come out to investigate the situation!!
Who says he shot anyone in the back. His property stretches over a foot ball field. Chances are, from a legal point, it's not reasonable for him to expect that. Especially if his property is clearly marked to the public. Each citizen is expected to obey the law. Even trespass. If he had hit a child, at best it would be manslaughter, if not ruled an accident. Notice there is no mention of him using his weapon illegally. In his own property he could fire rounds all day long. As long as they stay in his property.
You’re doing what the judge told the jury not to do on day one! Hold your opinion until closing statements
@@lewis18051 true, I will wait until the end of the trial to see why
Most Prosecutors are liberal and have the bleeding heart mentality. This case is just wrong. We are all sick of the border issues and are frustrated. Has this man had to deal with this for years now? He just finally broke.
So that makes it okay to kill people? If that were true, it would be okay for indigenous Americans to massacre anyone that isn't indigenous. I am pretty sure you wouldn't be in support of that though.
👋👋@nerd
Arizona and this prosecutor are a disgrace....go after the real criminals...no, you'd rather pick on an innocent man, trying to protect himself!!! Pathetic!!!
Keep the Mexicans out!
Santa Cruz county is trash.
Remember during this time 🇺🇸 BP was & still is processing & allowing people crossing illegally to stay in the US until their court date many years in the future. Imo their running back to Mexico away from BP makes me believe they may have been ‘gotaways’ (people that do NOT want to turn themselves into BP because of something in their past that BP would instantly deport them to their home countries) …curious to hear if they were dressed in camouflage & wearing carpet shoes - typical clothing of gotaways supplied by their coyotes ..the radio is also of note too
Trumpeteers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Free this man
I can’t believe this trial is real. NOT GUILTY and nothing else.
If convicted, when Trump gets elected, he should pardon him, present him with a Presidential Medal of Freedom and then appoint him to border czar.
Please go take a basic Civics class again, you've obviously got no idea what the 10th amendment stands for or the fact that a President cannot pardon a state crime.
Innocent
this case is the state just wasting taxpayer's money, blaming a citizen for their own inability to fulfill one of their primary tasks, securing the countries' borders.
Stay off PRIVATE PROPERTY especially when there's an invasion of drug cartels, illegal criminals and border invaders.
Probably a woke DA and judge ridiculous that he was even charged 🤦🏼♀️
Woke or dirty.
