Former ice cream truck driver Michael Keetley is facing a retrial for allegedly shooting six people on Thanksgiving 2010, killing two brothers, and injuring four others. Prosecutors allege Keetley was out for revenge after his ice cream truck was robbed for $12, but mistakenly targeted the wrong suspects. Keetley’s first trial in February 2020 resulted in a deadlocked jury. The former ice cream man is facing two first-degree murder charges and four counts of attempted murder.
Reason For Retrial: Defense attorney’s argued Keetley was too badly wounded from his own shooting, to carry-out the shooting in Ruskin that killed two people. Weak witness testimony led to a mistrial in 2020, after some state witnesses failed to identify Keetley as the shooter, identifying another man in a police mug shot packet. Defense witnesses were more exacting in their testimony, which led to a jury deadlock of 10 not guilty, 2 guilty, and eventually a mistrial.

Cheer up retired detective , frown face beats the defendant. â¤
You go girl prosecutor ⤠her
It seems like the shell casings are the most damning evidence they have. I'm not discounting that. It's important. But, the descriptions were off (I wouldn't be able to give a good description in that chaos either), these guys were high and drunk, and this Creeper guy could easily have had other enemies out there that could have wanted him unalived. It's an interesting one. Not sure how I'm leaning yet and I'm a month behind so I don't want to spoil the ending for myself.
that attorney lady from the state is cute
The depo would probably take less time then they’ve been arguing about it lol. Why does the prosecution want to stop them from doing it so badly? ðŸ¤â€
This isn't the murder weapon, why are they so focused on irrelevant items. It's not even the same operation method as the described murder weapon. A pump action shotgun is way different than a long rifle.
This person is so guilty…. I believe he thinks he is getting off. He shot the wrong people. The person who he intended to shoot testified against him…. That was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂â¤😮😅😅😅
I believe he was the Murderer he was taking matters into his own hands! He is Guilty!
The GF didn't notice his shoes………OH OK.
Absolutely the nicest most respectful judge I’ve ever seen
Love when women wear their gray hair proudly! Looks wonderful on her.
The defense’s argument that MK could not use his hands is gradually eroded by a number of witnesses and by statements (driving, shooting, use of computer). Does the defense have no other argument? I found the ex was testifying fine.
Why does the judge yell
All these so called gang bangers as the defence calls them all had steady jobs for years.
This witness is such a liar 🤥
Innocent is different from found not guilty in a court of law. This law firm may help a few innocent people but they have aided a lot of murders to walk the street of America legally . As they say Worst legal system in the world but there's none better.
Lmao, 150 after he gained weight..
These lawyers can get around anyones damming testimony
She looks like Rita Moreno. His house looks like a granny's house with all those knick-knacks.
Why do they bother with the people that type shorthand for hours and hours on end – when we have recorders and video? ðŸ¤â€
Ex gf lost credibility with her attitude alone and I’m sure the jury noticed. She has an agenda.
I sure feel sorry for the court reporter. I’m listening to the state questioning the gray haired lady talking over each other! 🙄
Not guilty!
did anyone catch the prosecutor’s Freudian slip? 1:09:53 “and I certainly am not unethical enough…� So she is unethical, just not THAT unethical?
These guys were gang members, this last witness is in the wind and that’s why they played the interview instead of him being there in person. Funny how none of the witnesses seem to know who the drug dealer is 😂. So far, the weight of the defendant during this trial has been between 150-300lbs, I mean..
