1. The George A. Kelly case is worse than you think. Departments we depend on to protect us, went out of their way to prosecute George based on the hand crafted “testimony” from a twice convicted foreign gun runner… and it only gets worse from there.
George and Wanda, his wife, were eating lunch inside their ranch on the Arizona/Mexico border. They heard a shot, looked up and saw a group of armed migrants on their land. George quickly told Wanda to hide, called Border patrol for help and fired warning shots in the air.
Border patrol came to the property, searched the whole area and found nothing. Later that night George went to check on his old horse and to his horror, found a body. He immediately called law enforcement.
The body was that of Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who had multiple arrests for illegal crossings. No bullet or weapon was ever found on or near the body.
The next day George was charged with first degree murder and an unprecedented bail of $1 million was set. From that point on the case has never been about facts, instead it’s turned into a political argument. Mr. Kelly is innocent, it’s time to give him his life back and stop making this a battle about the border.

2. Meet Sheriff David Hathaway ( @JamesDavidHath1) who blatantly lied about George A. Kelly before the trial. While playing show and tell on his Uncles ranch, he says Kelly is an outsider who came to “hunt me some Mexicans!”
3. Kelly did write a 57 page, self published book ten years ago but none of what the Sheriff said existed in it. Contents of the book were not allowed in court, even NYT’s had a more truthful take than Hathaway.

4. Sheriff Hathaway is everything we’ve come to expect from activists in law enforcement. He’s been one of the only Sheriffs claiming title 42 is bad, endorsed Hobbs, hates Lake. Was the largest voice in blocking Ducey’s efforts to secure the border.
He took a rare personal interest in this case, clearly for lefty clout.

5. The Sheriff will play a key roll but first let’s visit the most glaring issues of this case. There are ZERO forensics. Remember law enforcement came right after George called, numerous agents searched the property. Why wasn’t the body found then?
There is no gunshot residue and the place that would’ve most likely had it (the backpack) was never tested. No bullet was ever found, there is no proof this came from George’s gun.
Also recall that hearing a gunshot is what alerted the Kelly’s, was that when the victim was killed? Was the body placed by cartel knowing full well of the incident earlier. This alone should prove reasonable doubt.
