Well, if Nick had any intention of ever practicing law in Kandiyohi County again, I certainly would recommend letting the issue stay dead rather than bring more attention to it.
Maybe there's a reason he let Rekieta Law LLC expire.
Well, as I'm pretty sure the letter concedes, whether the threat was a legitimate threat or a joke or metaphor has absolutely no bearing on the matter at hand. It's totally irrelevant to whether the suit against Nick for things he said about someone else, all of which he said before the case was filed, can proceed.
If she had let a jury hear that I can certainly see why Rekieta would be outraged.
What's next? Are they going to say that she's biased because she heard Nick whine about her on his show?
It's really simple. Nick could have just not been an obviously drunk moron who gets mad when people choose to take his words literally and seriously rather than those of a moron who is obviously drunk.
That advice, and the extent to which he follows it, is very related to why he got sued in the first place.
There's a very obvious solution available to Nick, namely don't get as trashed as you have been on your shows and keep yourself under control, but we'll see if he goes down that route.
