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.

Being a lawyer is a really hard profession. They have to work all day and night using their smarts. They have to perform and be articulate. I could never keep up with them. Mad props.
This judge loves the law. I appreciate he listens to arguments, not all are so engaged.
What are they saying “ liminee”? Is that a court terminology or maybe referring to a certain law? Anybody?
Smallest unit inside a HDD is called "cell" not "sector"
Sectors are made by adding a group of cells.
Surprisingly the digital lady didn't know that.
Not enough evidence yet to get my guilty vote.
Judge is wishy washy. Shouldn't need a sidebar for every objection.
It always amazes me how much the prosecution is allowed to blatantly misrepresent evidence, some people will watch just an opening statement and believe without a doubt that the defendant is guilty. They don’t see any of the rest of the trial when the state’s bs is exposed. It could easily sway a juror and the defense can’t overcome it. I know opening statements aren’t evidence, but I’ve seen this happen way too many times and I really don’t like it.
HE DEF SEARCHED FOR MR ROGERS cardigans
Hello jury ..? .. hello you there ?
This guy was as obsessed with his revenge as Zachary Anderson was with his baby momma 😮
This judge runs a professional courtroom! I appreciate the efficiency of how he rules and has short sidebars unlike, the Zachary Anderson trial 🤦🏼♀️ I guess the attorneys can take some credit for that but, the defence team has tried to cause some chaos unsuccessfully.
How did the ice cream man murder retail go? I haven't heard anything
I really don't like Bell joking on the stand with the 2 mothers whose sons were killed sit on in the seats. I've never been a fan of joking during a murder trial.
This is a known high price and vast law firm that have extra long nasty crosses and forever testimony from their own witnesses and high cost experts and as a firm are also experts at getting murderer's off scot free.
Does anyone know what happened to the girl that sat in the chair beside the judge? I've seen her there in other trials I've watched with this judge but this time she's not there.
I know a lot of people skipped over this testimony. I would suggest you see the defense cross examination of this first witness. The prosecution inaccurately represented the google searches about the victims and guns. This taken with the cross examination of Detective Lugo seals the deal to me the Michael Keetley was framed.
Defense sweet-talked Ms. Bell after lunch at the testimony chair, getting her all giggly and bubbly, only to punk her later in her questioning.
Did this judge try a previous case with this defendant, and have his ruling overturned in appeal?

The Defense is on a roll. Disproving the majority of the garbage the state has put into the record. Good for them.
That Van is really in need of a makeover
How did he afford this dream team of lawyers?
The state is putting on a master class on how to lose credibility with the jury 101
We just realized we have the Law & Crime Trial Network channel, thru Dish, so we've been watching the trial live, that way.
He is guilty. Revenge with wrong people. I believe gfriend and Beckworth. All bs about hand. Also victim id him 2000%. So……
if he goes free He should move for sure when you lived by gangs And Possibly killed an Innocent People
Cop needed to speak up. Like he's never testified before.
Remember the movie Death Wish well I am not saying thats right but when your shot many times has to have multible surgery alot of guys would go looking I think it will be a hung Jury or Not Guilty. My heart goes out to the victim families
Every witness called by the state has benefitted the defense. Nothing yet links Keetley to the crime scene. Tomorrow Detective Lugo takes the stand.
why so blurry
So he was on a dating site at the time of the shooting? Also why is shutting down the laptop incriminating exactly, just seems like they keep emphasising it?
After watching this witness I feel the state has lost credibility. Not to mention the victims description of the murderer doesn’t match the defendant. How did this even get to trial? There seems to be very little actual evidence so far.
Love this witness! excellent example of a witness.
1:03:56 She likes attention
2:59:12 Wow. No objection from the defense. Bell essentially incriminates Keetley.
6:17:50 Internet Explorer user. Ugh. Not good for the defense.
Overall, this is guilt by internet search. Weak.
Great to see the prosecutors sink in their chairs each time the Defense (amazing attorney) proves how much they LIED about those searches. Just like Jose Baez would say: this is OUTRAGEOUS!
I love it when a lawyer tries to educate a judge on matters of law
I find it hard to believe that the original people that robbed mr. keetley only stole $12. if you're running a business out of your ice cream truck, you would need more than just $12 cash. for example, if someone buys something, let's say for $2, and they give him a $20 bill, he would need $18 to give them their change.
Judge needs to go a bit longer. 9-5 is not that long or a day.
Innocent
Defensive did a good job here imo
I love Ms Bell. It’s clear she’s being honest and I love her light hearted nature!
