State of Minnesota v. Nicholas Rekieta, Kayla Rekieta, April Imholte

[Puff]

I've heard alcohol tests are notoriously relaxed and easy to fool, but I'm no expert. I think the window is 72 hours, but it can be lowered all the way to 24 if you know what you're doing.
Ironically, that may be what makes Rekieta fail, should he not sober up. He'll overestimate how much he can drink, thinking he can flush it from his system in time for a test.

Hell, coke is like 3 days for 'non-habitual' users.
Oh, yeah, 26 grams in the house. He's fucked.

 

[murph]

Courts can be excessively forgiving for white people who can fake a respectable history/story.

Fuck this "white people" shit. If a black man had the money and influence and education and history that Nick does, this would be nation wide front page fucking news about how this accomplished Capital B Black Man was being harassed by Scandinavian Prudes.

Fuck, if Drexel was caught with this shit in exactly the same circumstances, there would be riots in the streets of Spicer, Minnesota. There would be no consequences whatsoever and a gofundme for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Stop pretending that white people have it easier, somehow, in the criminal justice system.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

But they said it's randomized. They could show up twice in one day for a piss test, and boom, he's done for

He's on pretrial release for felony charge so it'll be stricter than regular probation or a misdemeanor. but they won't have the time or resources for anything real. These are government employees after all. If it was serious enough of a charge they'd hold without bond.

 

[AnOminous]

Oh, he'll argue recusal, he'll argue venue, he'll argue entrapment, 4A, 2A (somehow), 1A, 8A, planted evidence, he was just holding for a friend, it was April's, Aaron put it there, he'll argue bias of every juror in the continental U.S. bc he's just so famous, he'll say he was just joking and only pretending to be retarded a druggie alcoholic, he'll argue the cops planned to have a little girl open the door, planned for him to be gone, that the jealous prudish Scandinavians conspired with the smalltown cops and that bitch judge to take him down, he'll say the pastor hates him personally, that local LE want him down bc he's such an amazing lawyer who ruined their arrests, he'll say it's montegraph, Null, farmers, lawtubers, Kayla's parents, Sonichu.

That's one hell of a monster sentence that should be taken out and shot (not blaming you I pull these every once in a while myself).

His problem here though is the pastor has personal knowledge of his vile behavior, he actually witnessed it, and as a mandatory reporter, it would have been an actual crime for him NOT to report it, therefore, Nick actually forced this result upon himself. He's a piece of shit. He abused and/or neglected his children, as people have long speculated that he did, and now appears actually to be the case.

Fuck Nick. That cocksucking faggot needs to die. There is no redemption for this piece of shit.

will aaron testify? april may too, since she was let go early. key point is this is ONLY the beginning.

Perhaps, but usually people caught with this shit don't have hours and hours upon hours of footage for prosecutors to laugh at analyze.

 

[Lubby Smith]

Balldo better be grateful to Minnesota's commie elected officials he always shits on for requiring judges to go soft on junkies like himself.

The search warrant seems to be his only viable angle to beat this, thanks to the US being the only country on Earth where illegally obtained evidence is inadmissible at trial. How would the cops have established probable cause such that a judge signed off on a warrant to search the house for drugs?

We know the police received a child abuse/neglect report from the pastor a week ago. My guess is the pastor said "the Rekietas have 5 kids in the house and I observed them acting and looking all fucked up like they're on drugs." He has firsthand knowledge of Nick being wasted but, presumably, hasn't actually seen any drug use and has no idea whether there's drugs in the house.

So the police spend the next week investigating?

If the cops don't have firsthand knowledge ("I observed Mr Rekieta nude, with a strange contraption attached to his testicles, snorting lines of a white powder that, based on my training and experience, was cocaine."), they need reliable hearsay in the warrant affidavit. ("I talked to x who provided firsthand knowledge of having seen x drugs in Rekieta's possession, located in x location on recent date, and it's likely x drugs are currently located in x location. This person appears credible because x.")

Who provided this information?
If there's no informant, how could they have gotten the info needed for the warrant?

Kandiyohi County doesn't deal with this kind of shit very often. It's small, rural, white, and doesn't have any trafficking highways going through it. If they fucked up the warrant and the case gets tossed, it will be hilarious because the damage is already done. Total alog vindication already achieved. Nick would be seething and unchained.

On a sidenote, if a CPS case has been opened, we won't have any record of it, and I'd be shocked if a case weren't opened. With those cases, there's no "tee hee we got probation or off on a technicality." They're more like "admit you're a repugnant piece of shit, jump through 1 million retarded hoops, and you'll get full custody back in 12-18 months... otherwise we'll terminate your parental rights." It will be an absolute nightmare for Mr ODD smartest guy in the room who can do no wrong.

 

[Pelican Bones]

If the pastor reported on the morning of Thursday the 16th has anybody gone back and checked if Nick had a stream on the 15th and what might be in it?

Edit: I wonder if this was the stream where he talked about kids getting molested during Wed night services.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

That's one hell of a monster sentence that should be taken out and shot (not blaming you I pull these every once in a while myself).

Ha, I am often guilty of it, but this time I did it on purpose to channel/mock him inevitably throwing every cockanamie thing at the wall to hope something sticks and trying anything and everything to avoid responsibility.

His problem here though is the pastor has personal knowledge of his vile behavior, he actually witnessed it, and as a mandatory reporter, it would have been an actual crime for him NOT to report it, therefore, Nick actually forced this result upon himself. He's a piece of shit. He abused and/or neglected his children, as people have long speculated that he did, and now appears actually to be the case.

Yep. He's been speedballing (npi) toward this, and worse, he's been absolutely loving the ride. He is a pos, high on his own ego even more than the blow.

Perhaps, but usually people caught with this shit don't have hours and hours upon hours of footage for prosecutors to laugh at analyze.

Good point!

Tbh, though, I suspect that won't be of much relevance for a court and what would ever be factored in to "is this guy a decent human" is not going to include quote-unquote "shock jock" showmanship (riiiiight...), but they'd look more at "lawyer in good standing, husband and father of 5, no criminal history, church-goer, former Chamber of Commerce member, pays taxes [I assume], good kids, propping up the local snack food purveyors , supportive family, etc. And in rural MN, gun ownership and property rights are appreciated (by the general population), not considered a negative or sketch if you're otherwise standard society. Empathy toward addiction is also a strain in the courts.

Not sure what the official name for this document is, but it looks like the Mandated Reporter's information on the case. You can see some text in the background that some Kiwis were trying to decipher.

Here's an AI upscale if that helps.

What is the source of this? Is it possible to get the full report?

What is the source of this? Is it possible to get the full report?

It's meant to be an anonymous tip and we can't get the whole thing. It seems too good to be fake, but can't be verified. Can't remember who posted it, but it was someone who's name I recognized on Twitter, but didn't trust as a source without anything backing it up. Dive back through the big thread if you care.

If he resents his kids for preventing him from living his life the way he wants, would he even bother jumping through the hoops to get them back? If his parental rights are terminated is he completely off the hook in terms of any child support?

It's been speculated before that Nick has a trust fund from the grandparents in his children's name or something, which is why he puts up with them. I'm sure someone else can articulate it better than I can. It's been pretty clear from his behavior that Nick does not seem to like being a father very much, so naturally that lead to the theory that there must be some sort of financial incentive, or it was for the sake of Kayla's familial ties or something. Which makes it all the more heinous that Nick's such a failure of a husband he's allowed his wife to enter the lifestyle of a crackwhore. Regardless of how culpable Kayla is in her own downfall, Nick's in-laws will probably look to blame him first. And I doubt he'd be off the hook for child support if his parental rights are terminated.

 

[sum ting wong]

will aaron testify? april may too, since she was let go early. key point is this is ONLY the beginning.

I could see Aaron testifying under the guise of 'protecting his ex-wife and Kayla'. He just has to get them away from that monster you see, he's destroying their lives!

The real reason of course is to punish Nick for cucking him. Unfortunately for Aaron, sending Nick somewhere where he doesn't have to work, he doesn't have to drive his kids around, and there's ample amounts of black cock is hardly a punishment.

 

[Third World Aristocrat]

In theory, they could. In reality, they're not obligated to do that. You don't get to disqualify every judge in your vicinity by just being such an utter dick that nobody likes you.

LMAO, can you imagine?

Judges hate him!

He went from 25 years in jail to 0!
with ONE WEIRD TRICK!
This man said to all Judges that he would like to drink liquor squeezed from their vagina!!

 

[lolwatagain]

LMAO, can you imagine?

If you want to disqualify every judge in your area, the real secret is to get every human being in the area to hate your guts.

Can't have a trial in a district if every potential juror in that district is prejudiced against you.

 

[PotatoSalad4711]

This isnt TV Most states have one central crime lab that is so backed up they hire an independent contractor if a speedy trial request is made.

Thank you. Most small towns don’t have a dedicated crime lab or CSU or any of that. They send it off to wherever the next biggest city is and hope for the best.

if he's not in an AA meeting or with a counsellor right now there's no way he won't get fucked up before August 20th.

His best option was to immediately check himself into rehab. He has the time between now and August. Considering he hasn’t (yet), I guarantee you he’s drinking right now. The only question is if someone will eventually catch him doing it.

If he resents his kids for preventing him from living his life the way he wants, would he even bother jumping through the hoops to get them back? If his parental rights are terminated is he completely off the hook in terms of any child support?

Nick might put up a small fight to get his kids back to save his reputation. He will have to pretend he wants them back. They’re the only reason this “small town good ole family man” routine works. Will he try hard or even be able to do so? Who knows.

Generally, child support is suspended if you lose parental rights. But I have a feeling that varies from state to state, so I’m not 100% sure on the matter.

Thank you for compiling this @useful mistake this is very helpful.

 

[newuser131]

the question i have is how did the information that the pastor was the mandatory reporter get leaked? i do not recall that information available through the court documents. it looked like a phone pic of a sealed document.

if i had to guess, it was rekieta who leaked it. who else could have leaked it?
