General Rekieta Thread can be found here. If your post doesn't relate directly to the criminal case, it should go there. That aside, enjoy the thread, and enjoy the stay!

Nicholas Rekieta: A non-practicing lawyer from central Minnesota previously known for drinking and explaining law (lawsplaining); now known for hedonism, drug abuse, potential child abuse, disappointing everyone, and for proving that there's really no rock bottom; you can always fall more. While he used to enjoy a pretty stellar reputation, he managed to impressively waste it all away in the last 2 years, to the point that almost nobody likes him. He is so filled up with coke and alcohol, that his brain lost literally all it's short term functions.

Repeating the same super chat thrice with three different answers:
Kayla Rekieta: A wife. Used to be hot, then she did enough drugs to look like a ghoul from fallout series. Known for convincing (allegedly) her husband into opening their relationship, which effectively ruined everything. Has an army of simps willing to defend her from every bad decision she has ever made. These people are affectionately called the "cunt guards"
April Imholte: Cheating ex wife of Nick's ex friend Aaron. Nick Rekieta's side hoe. In litigation with her own husband's ex who is seeking a restraining order against them both. Aaron filed for divorce, and they are now divorced.
Minnesota: 32nd state of the Union. 12th largest U.S. state in area and the 22nd most populous, with over 5.75 million residents. Minnesota is known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes".
The Facts
On May 16th, 2024 a mandatory reporter reported (after four people had confided in him) in person to the police about possible child abuse at the Rekieta residence. After three more people reported him, and the Police saw the appeal stream, they applied for a warrant. On May 23rd, after getting a warrant, the Police caught Nicholas Rekieta nearby his home. He would not let them inside, and neither would his female child. The Police broke down their door with a battering ram. Inside they found his wife, his side hoe (April Imholte. Not relevant as she was set free), and four more children. The place looked unlived. The complaint describes it as "extremely cluttered. There were clothes everywhere, dirty dishes, dust and an overall dirty home." After showing the warrant to Mr. Rekieta, he threw it on the ground. After the home was searched they found:
Nicholas Rekiata proceeded to waive his Miranda rights (aka remain silent, retard, and wait for a lawyer), and was immediately arrested. His wife too. At jail they offered to forget he waived his Miranda rights. As a legal genius that he is, he proceeded to waive them again, but didn't actually say anything of importance. His wife wanted her prescription medication, but the officers refused noting that the prescription and the stuff inside did not match.
They were charged with:
On the 24th of May, arraignment hearing was held for both of them. Nicholas Rekieta represented himself and his wife. He wanted to represent his side hoe too, but the side hoe was released already and free. The hearings can be seen here:
They were released the same day, ordered to either a) post $50,000 bond and remain law abiding, or b) remain law abiding, not leave Minnesota without permission, not to use drugs or alcohol, submit to random testing, call in to 320-231-6222 every week, to not have guns.
On 23rd of July, April Imholte, was also charged. She was charged with cocaine (.25 grams) possession with a maximum sentence of five years in prison, $10,000 fine or both. The facts are identical to Nick and his wife's case.

Next hearing is on August 21st, 10:30 AM CST. The hearing concluded. Recap can be found here and here.
