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.

1:47:15 The photos of all the junky cars on the Keetley property. The sad part is that all of them are American.
All these lawyer questions are fine, but the real question: Did he drive the ice cream van to the hit and was that little jingle playing as he rolled up?
All of this means nothing ice cream man is going down
The defense attorney is deliberating not remembering details like the individuals who were shot and the type of beer they bought to disarm a victim. What a slime.
I can see an appeal with “my attorney couldn’t cross examine because a juror kept falling asleep†coming 🤦â€Â♀ï¸Â
After working with a phone provider for a while.. anything that has an IMEI and service, is also provided a phone number through the mobile provider that gives it service.
I have a desktop with a blue wire attached to the router. As of 03/28/23. Some of us are still doing it.
The prosecutor’s suit jacket is painfully tight. I don’t know how she’s wearing that all day.
Why is it evidence that he had documents pertaining to his victimization? How is that relevant to whether or not he committed this crime. Talk about a waste of time. He was shot multiple times and sustained critical injuries. I hope he did get some compensation from the victim assistance fund..
About time prosecutor objects to Defense lawyer testifying.
This defense lawyer trying to run the show.he used to be a prosecutor 😮 should be interesting
If I'm that female prosecutor and that defense attorney pats me on the shoulder like he did to her at aporox 7:44, we'd have big issues.
This defense attny drives me nuts! Who cares how much the coke cost and who put up the money?! And 10 questions to get to 1 point, repeatedly. How far was Rosemary's house? How many miles? 10 min drive or walk? Drive, so you wouldn't walk that, it's like 4 or 5 miles… what does that have to do with anything? And why describe how to make blunts in detail? Isn't it enough to say they smoked weed that night?! Ugh
This defense lawyer just bables about stuff that doesnt have any importance just to distract.
The crime scene guy is a better looking version of Michael McDonald from Mad Tv
Really bothers me that the defense guy keeps trying to joke and be funny with witnesses on the stand in a Murder Trial!
No surprise the 1 juror is falling asleep during the cross. This defense guy like to talk way too much and prosecutor is right, all his questions are just testimony with a question mark at the end!
The 1st thing that has me clinched on guilty is the murder scene address written in his notebook, in his kitchen. Direct link!
Its ridiculous how they keep questioning how much beer and other drugs they consumed. This has nothing to do with what happened and is actually offensive.
Slime ball defence attorney
– The mobile issue is bemusing. Back in 2010 there would have needed to be a Mobile Hot Spot nearby for that Mobile attachment to work, and you had to be extremely close to that Hotspot for the WiFi to work. So they need to establish that there was indeed a HotSpot nearby for that attachment to connect into. 🤷â€Â♀ Just from memory…. 🤷â€Â♀
– Magazine!
Was he found guilty previously?
You are not asking what he recalls you are telling him defense.
This lawyer is leading the witness. He could not cross examine a witness in SC. 😮
Wow disgusting inside
Defense is so annoying
Watch from 6:21:00 thru 6:29:00, positive ID of Keetely during direct. Then watch 8:12:00 thru 8:18:10, cross of Guevera's positive ID. Compare those two segments.
Exhibit 191 (instructions to witness), Detective Lugo crossed out "4" and wrote "3", then initialed it. This cannot be trusted. Let me explain. The photo identified by Guevera was signed but has the wrong number (4) written next to his name. Why? Did Guevera really identify photo 4 and Detective Lugo pulled a slight of hand trick? After Guevera identified photo 4, Lugo could have pulled it back, then slipped photo #3 on the table (with his hand over the picture) and said, "sign this". Why is the number 4 written next to the witness' name and there is a number 3 at the top of the photo? Guevera testified he doesn't know if he wrote the number four or not but was 2000% sure it Keetley, the guy he saw in the viral text and in the photo at the Auto Parts store where he claimed to donate money. Witness ID is highly unreliable to begin with. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of people in prison based on false witness ID. DNA tests have exonerated hundreds of them. Something is fishy about this. This is a murder trial not a grocery list. Cops don't get to make these kinds of mistakes. Sorry, this is bogus.
The defense attorney needs to keep his hands to himself and away from the prosecution team. I really dislike him for constantly touching or trying to touch the prosecutors and trying to mess with them by running around the court, shuffling his papers around when they are supposed to be up, and demanding so many sidebars with the Judge.
James Rolfe got himself in some hot water

"Did you tell detective Lugo how certain you were that, that was the person that you shot"
Gonzalo Guevara is a great witness, and certainly more intelligent than the Defense attorney expected. I think the prosecution should have objected more to this cross-examination, he was left to fend for himself while the Defence attorney tried to rewrite what happened. Mr Guevara was steadfast in his identification of the defendant. Well done sir! ðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘ÂðŸ‘Â
I did it disgusting that they can put victims through this over and over again. It’s reliving it time after time. And these defense attorneys are so rude
So he shot these people after they shot him and almost killed him first?
As an IT guy, listening to these guys talk about routers makes me roll my eyes. I'm pretty sure they mean a cellular modem, not router. Router is a little later down the line after the signal hits the tower and data is then transmitted in a more traditional way a.k.a. fiber.
This man deserves to be free!!!
We all scream for ice cream.
The only crime I have seen so far is the condition someone let those beautiful cars and truck get to on Michael's property.
Mike's Mr. Roger's get up cracks me up.
What led him to target creeperðŸ˜Å
State need to object to this line of questioning, it has nothing to do with him getting shot
What does it matter about the drug deal, the defendant shot them 🤷ðŸÂ½â€Â♀ï¸Â
Poor guys just trying to enjoy time off and have some fun then get this.
He could of just left his phone at home
Doctors said microcephalic people or someone with Microcephaly has a symptom like Down Syndrome You can recognize it because the microcephalic person has an extremely tiny, ORANGE size head like an infant head with Either an extremely longer, larger body or an orange size head with a small body. Men think it looks Kinky. Down Syndrome means they swallow quarters (money) when they think they are hungry doctors said. BYE
Mr Rogers looks bored with this trial. Sitting there with his chin on his hand. What a schlub! 🤦ðŸÂ»â€Â♀ï¸Â
