2010!!! Well my life was in really bad turmoil then. I wasn't keeping up with news. On Thanksgiving. That is absolutely awful. It does seem to happen very year. At least once. Also Christmas eve and day.
 
The prosecutor is laying out the evidence against him and I don't know how 10 people wanted to acquit him in the first trial. It sounds like a slam dunk.
 
After reading this, I feel so bad for the mother. Losing 2 sons. A mistrial must have made it that much worse. Stupid jurors. Waiting over 12 years for justice. He targeted the wrong men. He was out for revenge because he was robbed and beaten months before. Just feeling justified. An excuse. I understand being angry. But...If I was out for revenge, There would be alot of hurt people. But no.
 
On Court TV they are saying that a retrial benefits the defense most. I've always heard, in the past, that a retrial helps the prosecution more. The prosecution has no idea where the defense is going in the first trial and could be caught off guard. In a retrial the prosecution knows what the defense is going to say and can prepare for it better. I believe that a retrial helps the prosecution more, myself.

What do you think?
 
I don't get "Court T.V.". It's apparently not available here. IDKY. Before they F'ed it up with "TruTV" We did. That channel now sucks. Everytime a network changes it's name, It goes in the toilet.

TAMPA, Fla. - An ex-girlfriend says the ice cream man accused of murder was obsessed with vigilante justice, but Michael Keetley's defense says he was physically unable to shoot anyone.

A restaurant worker and an ex-girlfriend testified at the trial of the former ice cream man Tuesday, telling the jury he was obsessed with finding the men who robbed and shot him in 2010. Keetley is accused of shooting six people, killing two of them, in what turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.

Prosecutors say Keetley was blinded by revenge when he opened fire, killing brothers Juan and Sergio Geitron and injuring four other men who were hanging out on their porch on Thanksgiving Day in 2010. They say eleven months earlier, Keetley, had been shot and robbed during his ice cream route in Ruskin, and he had grown impatient with the police investigation.

IIRC, the girlfriend also says that Keetley called her and said he was buying a new gun. When she asked why, he said that his old gun wasn't comfortable for him anymore. That sounds like he found a gun he could shoot.

TAMPA, Fla. - Ramon Galan, Junior, recalls drinking beer with buddies 12 years ago when gunfire abruptly ended the fun.

"It came through my arm and went through the side of my stomach and through the left side," he remembered while testifying Wednesday.

Galan was the first of six men to be shot while hanging out on the front porch of a Ruskin home on Thanksgiving Day in 2010. On Wednesday, he took the witness stand in the murder trial of the accused shooter, Michael Keetley.
 
The prosecution called a friend of Keetley's. He went shooting, with Keetley, after Keetley was attacked and testified that Keetley didn't have trouble shooting. He shot a little bit slower shot after shot, but he was shooting. That goes against the defense's upcoming witness, the doctor who treated Keetley will testify it would be impossible for him to shoot after his injuries.

Ruskin ice cream man murder trial sees doubts clouding tales of revenge

A key witness in Michael Keetley’s trial became frustrated as a defense attorney cross examined him.

TAMPA — David Beckwith met Michael Keetley not long after Keetley was robbed and shot inside his ice cream truck in 2010. They were two men down on their luck, and for a time, Beckwith helped Keetley sell ice cream, while also acting as his bodyguard, a .45-caliber handgun always within his reach.

Beckwith told a jury this week in Keetley’s murder trial about how the ice cream man spoke constantly of revenge for being shot. He said Keetley interrogated people around town for tips about who shot him. He said Keetley spoke of a plan to pose as a cop and “make them disappear.”

But Beckwith became visibly frustrated and audibly angry as he endured an hours-long cross examination Thursday from defense attorney Richard Escobar.

The defense lawyer repeatedly brought out differences between what Beckwith said on the witness stand this week and what he’d claimed under oath in years past.

“What do you want me to say?” an exasperated Beckwith said at one point.

“The truth,” Escobar said.

“I’m trying to tell you the truth,” Beckwith replied.

TAMPA, Fla. - For days, the nickname Creeper loomed over the courtroom in the trial of a former ice cream truck driver accused of murder, Michael Keetley. On Thursday, the jury in Keetley’s murder trial got its first look at Creeper when his picture was displayed on a large screen.

They also heard his real name: Omar Bailon.

Prosecutors say Keetley was looking for Bailon on Thanksgiving Day 2010 when, they say, he ambushed six people on a porch in Ruskin. Two brothers, Juan and Sergio Guitron, were killed, and the four others were injured. The survivors remember the shooter dressed as a law enforcement officer, with a long gun, and asking for a man named Creeper.
