A judge in Arizona made headlines this week when he walked out of the courtroom in the middle of proceedings, frustrated with the pace of the trial. Judge Thomas Fink of the Santa Cruz County Superior Court is presiding over the trial of rancher George Kelly, who is facing a murder charge in connection with the shooting of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea.
Judge Fink expressed his exasperation with both the defense and the prosecution for what he perceived as unnecessary delays in presenting oral arguments. The trial has focused on determining the circumstances surrounding Cuen-Buitimea's death and the role Kelly played in the incident.
