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

[GotMail_2000]

I think everyone has gone back and forth on this forever, but I don't see how that can be the case if they're not charging Nick with the abuse. It seems like either someone other than the three arrested adults is being alleged to have abused a kid physically or sexually and that she knew about it and Nick didn't, or her charge got fat fingered.

Take this with a grain of salt, as I've only heard this from Lawtubers like Basically Criminal and others(may have reason to lie, not sure), but supposedly the code for that charge is similar to another one, and it was likely a fat finger. Not sure if I believe that at all, but that's the legal dude narrative.

The guns were in the safe except the AR-15 which was under the bed, which I remember Aaron bitching about.
You know unlike every cop in the world who has a pistol under the pillow?
The gun charges are entirely bullshit in my opinion, and they're tacked on because they want to take them away. I'm sure Minnesota has the cucky laws that require you to have your guns chained up in a 12-pin lock that requires a co-op partner to press the same button at the same time.
Though to be 100 percent fair, junkies should not have guns, so my gun defense instinct is quelled by the bigger picture*

Most Cops I know these days will use a small lock box in the top nightstand drawer. With a well practised means of opening it.

FWIW a great many people who talk tough in public and deny everything have turned into meek little mice who eagerly gobble up plea deals the moment they're in the courtroom.

What he says to the public is irrelevant (and -- barring the admission of further crimes -- not of interest to the court or prosecutor). What he says and does in court is all that matters.

Yes and that makes a degree of sense for the average person because they have no familiarity with the legal system so when they're talking tough they may not understand what they are actually up against. Then as they realize the situation they are actually in they start changing their tune. With Nick being a lawyer himself who did actually do some amount of legal work at some point, even if relatively little, you would think the same wouldn't apply to him.

I think his e-daddy status is fucking with his judgment a lot. A regular person doesn't have that kind of reputation and following at stake, once they see that taking a plea is better for them that's that. But with Nick, in his mind, if he admits fault by taking a plea deal, it would be the death blow for his e-celeb status as it would prove the haters right once and for all. Of course the reality is his reputation is already destroyed beyond repair but I'm just imagining what his mindset could be like which would explain his behavior.

If he is a true lolcow he won't do the smart thing and plea out, or even if he does, he'll cope a lot and fuck it up quickly. The desire to own the a-logs can drive people to total self destruction, just look at Ralph. He gave up two marriages and two kids, his life was a constant rolling disaster for years, and never once did he just say "okay, I'm fucking up, I need to do better." He's still defiant and coping to this very day. And when was Ralph the closest to being respectable and having his ego in check? Right after he got done actually serving 8 months in jail.

Yeah it's pretty transparent that in the big picture, the bribe is "We'll be reasonable with this trial, it's your first offense, we'll just take the guns," which rubs me really the wrong way.
That being said, Nick is the exact person who will prove the 'point' of such shitty verdicts.

My gun safe is next to my bed, and its the same pin to access it as my debit card that I punch every god damn day. I can open it in 2 seconds half asleep. And yes, I actually have done this when my god damn dog alerts at 3 in the fucking morning like a spastic. Yeah, it was probably a coyote sniffing around the property, but you can't just NOT check.

 

[RodgerDodger]

Also can we add a clause to the Federal laws of the United States that all officers of the law need to take penmanship lessons.

I challenge you to do much better while holding a clipboard one handed, and trying not to step on anything disgusting. Cops Penmenship is generally not that bad if they are able to sit down ata table and write it out. Their spelling and grammar are crimes against language.

Some of it is also a deliberate learned thing. Making things too easy to read makes things too easy for annoying defense or plaintiff's attorneys. Writing just awful enough that they have to ask someone WTF it says? insures you know who is looking at your reports and why. This isn't unique to cops.

 

[macrodegenerate]

Springflied Armory .45 1911,

What a horribly unsafe gun to have around children. You can't decock the thing without striking the firing pin.

 

[repentance]

Nanny could have reported him even faster, unless he got some illegal beaner and threatened to call ICE on her if she as much as thought about snitching.

I really hope they're able to track her down and interview her.

 

[Apteryx Owenii]

Do the copelawyers have no idea how easy it is to clear the hurdle of probable cause and how unusual it is for a warrant to be nullified after the fact?

I've seen more concrete applications for search warrants but it's stll a bad idea to bet against it. Judges are a lot faster to smack down a cop doing a PC search than they are to declare a judicial order to be shit.

I guess most of them are playing with house money, but if Nick fucks around and refuses to accept a plea until after he loses motions, he may find himself in an even worse position. Not unlike what happened to Russell Greer in his stalking case. Wouldn't that be ironic?

 

[Count Grishnackh]

80k+ mustang, (probably closer to 100k after dealer markup) hungry and poorly clothed kids. Pure class.

Sounds just like Mexicants!

 

[FILTH Tourist]

Sounds just like Mexicants!

But unlike the Mexicans, Nick can spell corn but not repair. Which explains why his life has fallen into such disrepair.

 

[Butwhythough2]

I had a hope of baldomans redemption arc, but since it's confirmed that he and his wife let their kids go hungry and without showers, I hope both of them get put under the jail and get shanked in the showers. That's one thing that makes me lose faith in a person and pisses me off is child abuse

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

I've never heard of anybody cutting cocaine with gunpowder.

We have it all backwards - Nick is just a reloading enthusiast and gunpowder is so expensive that he was cutting it with cocaine!

I think its the reverse they are using the guns to buffer the drug charges.

2nd Degree Drug charges is 25 grams or more (his 26 grams is close if they remove the packaging)
But with guns present that goes down to 10 grams

It gives them a buffer to nail his ass on the drugs.

 

[regginknurd]

@semitooth I get what you mean. It was fun for me, and I didn't let it become a monkey in my back (that's what booze is for). I was just trying to say that even for my degeneracy which I never hid, I can't believe someone with 6 kids would just start doing it so rampantly

And for the rest of you "drugs are bad" people, no shit. Glad to know you haven't done drugs or were really fucking bad at doing them.

 

[moocow]

If he is a true lolcow he won't do the smart thing and plea out, or even if he does, he'll cope a lot and fuck it up quickly.

Fair, but even Fatrick Tomlinson was always (relatively) humble in court, being only mildly argumentative and never getting himself into any actual trouble with courtroom antics. And he's lolcow #2 on this site (at least according to the most recent Julays).

Serial killers and future doctors & lawyers who've caused an accidental death-by-drive-by and dindu nuffin are crazy enough to pick the worst options in court, but for even the biggest egos, being in a courtroom face-to-face with someone who can order you to spend years in prison or turn you loose (dependent largely on the words you say and your general conduct) is astonishingly sobering for just about anyone else.

 

[Gehenna]

Did this retard get his law degree from a Crackerjack box? Did he buy it from a diploma mill?

And shit like this is why Rittenhaus fired your ass Barnes.

Correction, Barnes was not fired off that team because of his general incompetence. Barnes was fired because he tried to railroad himself into the lead position with the goal of making the entire trial a show. He wanted to turn it into a massive circus with himself as the ringleader, and use it to cudgel his own ideas. This was is goal and he was vocal on it.

Then, when every adult in the room pointed out this would be toxic to a Wisconsin Jury and would almost certainly sentence Rittenhouse to a guilty verdict, he -insisted on it anyway-.

Then, when promptly kicked to the curb on the recommendation of every other adult in the room, he began -actively sabotaging- the Rittenhouse trial by 'misplacing' evidence he had in his possession and requiring Rittenhouse's team to re-acquire it all on short notice.



Fuck. Robert. Barnes.

 

[and and and and]

UGH - those poor fucking kids. Nick and Kayla deserve prison.

Didn't Aaron mention weeks ago that he kept having to feed the kids spaghettios because Nick couldn't be bothered with feeding them?

 

[Ludicrous Moneybags]

I'm too burned out from the main thread where everyone complains when you have indignation.

Just let people enjoy things

You know, there's a lot of internet content creators that I like that are TOTALLY softballing this shitshow with their reactions, and it has been really disappointing to hear. Lots of "Well, every interaction I had with Nick Rekieta was a good one-- he was always nice to me personally, so this is just sad and I hope he gets his life together."

Milquetoast reactions AT BEST. When you read this kind of shit and it involves children, then I don't care how nice a person has been to me in the past. If there's child neglect and abuse involved, then that person is a piece of shit and deserves to have the book thrown at them.

I'd rather see no reactions from these content creators than these limp dick reactions.
