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. The machinist has mad skills. That’s all you have to say. So is it illegal to modify guns. Stop condescending the machinist. Maybe guys like to shoot together, it’s a social thing right? Um Mr Smith your laid back dude sir. It’s been 10 years snarky defense attorney. Wow that was long Mr Smith.

  2. Hooooow interesting!! HA! A mere day ago I wrote a comment that while some don’t take a lot, most defendants take SOME type of notes during their trials, especially a double murder trial… but Mike just sits there, all day long, emotionless with his chin in his hand which can’t be a good look to the jury. And guess what?! Mike actually has a notepad in front of him for the 1st time all trial… with writing on it!! Could just be a prop but it’s in front of him… LOL!! 😂 Are his attorneys reading our comments to get suggestions & ideas in hopes of bettering their case??🫣😏 I totally wouldn’t doubt it… Ha!! 😂😝😂😝😂

  3. I really really want Escobar to carry that binder to the witness stand… but half way there the rings pop open & all the papers fall to the floor ~ floating down like leaves from a tree on a windy fall day. 😁🫣😉😏

  4. I wonder if Smith could sue Escobar for slander??🤔 He flat out said it’s possible that Smith was the one who shot these men – OR – he could have gotten someone to do it for him. I’m sorry but if I were Smith & heard this – yea, I’d go after him in a heartbeat!!😤😠😡

  5. So… this neighborhood was horrible, terrifying, over run by gangs, alcohol, hard drugs & bullet holes everywhere, even the Ocean Mist sign was shot up, basically one of the WORST & SCARIEST places on the planet to live… no one "good" would ever live there — YET Mikey felt comfortable enough to drive around, all throughout it, *ALONE*, selling his nachos & ice cream for YEARS – a regular figure in the community, enjoying it so much he'd give out free candy & drinks??🤔 Soooo what does that say about Mikey?? I mean, no matter how tough Escobar thinks he is, he'd be scared shitless to pay the place a visit but apparently his murderous client felt quite comfortable. (So comfortable he even went back after he got shot soooooo…🤷‍♀️)

  6. What "accident" is the prosecution referring to the defendant having? You mean when he was "accidentally " robbed and shot? That "accident "?

  7. I almost always skip past the defense attorneys because I can't stand most of them. So dramatic and hateful. Surely this guy isn't married. Complete butthole. Feel sorry for his wife if he is.

  8. These defense attorneys are way above extra and the way they are talking to and treating people/witnesses has honestly (even if I were a jury member) soured me towards "Mr. Keetley" I mean they are supposed to "represent" him so 🤷🏻‍♀️… buuuuut this judge though… every ruling either of the defense or state he presents himself with zero biases… 1000% the most fair judge I've seen so far.

  9. Interesting this is the same tactic the defense in the Jealous Ex Boyfriend trial, trying to blame the crime on someone else…….. anyone else but their client

  10. Escobar is running this court and this judge, all he has to do is get aggressive and talk the judge to death and he gets his way, sorry judge the defense is running your court

  11. Escobar just likes to hear himself talk , such a showboater , I don’t like his approach at all , blame all the Mexicans who lived in that neighborhood

  12. The entire prosecution team is weak. The short one that is always fighting falling asleep is the biggest joke. These idiots have based their case on the worst most duplicitous witnesses ever.

  13. The prosecutor sitting closest to the bald defense attny is currently fantasizing about stabbing his eye ball out with a rusty fork 😄😄 Every time he turns to tell them the page number he's referencing etc, she gives him a look like, "God I can't believe all we have here at the courthouse is plastic cutlery…"

  14. IS THIS GUY ON TRIAL OR WHAT…WHAT IS HE TRYING TO SUGGEST THAT THIS GUY DID WITH ALL THE SHOOTING ON THE PROPRTY, I DONT GET IT

  15. Well done witness Smith for saying to the defence attorney: 'Why do you have to be so dramatic? You sound ridiculous.' I often shout the same thing at my screen during trials.

  16. You will notice that the defendant uses his left hand for everything. This is to fool the jury into thinking he cannot use his right hand and so could never have shot those two people.

  17. The way the witness responds during the cross examination is always most telling because they've rehearsed time and time again with the prosecution. Either the prosecution chose unreliable witnesses or there is more to this story than meets the eye. Although lets be real 13 years later most people aren't going to remember everything perfectly…

  18. I think some of the live viewers are confused. You realize the witness is not obligated to give the defense the answers they wants as long as the answer truthfully, right? 💀 I've seen comments go by like " why is it so hard to get answers from him ? " It's not he's answering just not with the answers you want.

  19. Professor X was really feeling himself every time he thought he made some kind of point or something lmao 🤣. I'd bet everything I have to my name that he has X-Men boxers on

  20. this cocky smirking defendant reminds me of Matthew Terry, the way he holds the headphone to listen to the sidebars. and Matt is sitting in prison for life.
