I think the fact that the kids were hungry and dirty is a testament to how fast this thing went downhill. Kids who grow up most of their lives with abusive and neglectful parents manage to feed themselves, and wash clothes, especially a 16 year old. Unless there was zero food in the house, the teen could have opened spaghettios for the other children. But if you’ve been nanny’d and suddenly have to do this, there’s a learning curve.

My legal question: upthread there was talk of the gun charges and a statute was shown. I didn’t find it again, but it had language that drugs and firearms are illegal with words like brandishing, displaying, threatening…a gun in a safe in a garage doesn’t seem to meet the specific language I was reading. I also thought there was one under the bed, same thing. That paragraph seemed poorly worded to me as it did say possession but went on to state what kind of possession (brandishing). As a layman I may be missing the legal definition of common words. Anybody have more insight?
This is true of kids who were raised with neglectful parents but these kids had Nannie’s and all. I am not sure how much they knew pre drugs to take decent care of themselves

I might be reading this wrong, but is this saying that two of the kids aren't being schooled at all?

Why did the poster black out names when they left the reference to yellow flash in the last dm from Nick? Fits the manner of speaking, though



I know we're all appalled at the child neglect, but I'm honestly appalled at these kids' lack of skills. They're school-age, and can't make a sandwich or some cereal? The sixteen year old can't do laundry, or cares so little about his or her siblings that they aren't changing their clothes? Or calling their grandparents if they're that helpless?

I'm not saying the eldest should be parenting four other kids, but being able to manage some basics like food and laundry by that age so your siblings aren't starving seems doable for a teenager. Was there no grocery shopping being done without the nanny to take care of it? Do they not have contact with their grandparents? Have they been so neglected that they can't do basic tasks for themselves at all? Are they all developmentally disabled?

I just have so many questions.
I believe minimally, the oldest was attending a private or public school, and not only that, was heavily engaged in extracurricular activities. I say this because of all the weird pickup and dropoff times - early mornings, late nights, assuming they all weren't drug runs, those line up with a student athlete practicing and coming back from games/matches. The kid may have been motivated to do all this stuff, and even to go to school (instead of home schooling), just to get the fuck out of the house, and to not have to be the parent.

The anonymous person may be wrong. But... Nick was fired as a teacher for the homeschool collective and we know they had been neglecting the kids in other ways. I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm also not going to state it as fact or use it in any arguments. It's something to keep an eye on for sure.

Maybe this sounds weird, but I can understand if the hedonistic midlife crisis suffering junkies were rationalizing the house being a mess and the kids not being fed etc as "well we lost the nanny, kids need to learn to fend for themselves more" or something pathetic like that, but I simply can't think of ANY rationalization they could have had for outright depriving some of their kids of an education (unless it was extremely short term). If things had gotten to that stage then they had outright given up on raising their kids.

Section 609.11 says, " had in possession or used" a firearm and then gives a lot of examples of "used".

My crim def friend told me the firearm enhancement is used as a threat to encourage defendants to take a deal. This is not a clear case of "possession" so they didn't charge it out immediately because they didn't have to. If Balldo and Our Wife take this to trial, the prosecution can add on the sentencing enhancement (or at least threaten to). Even if it's a reach for the prosecution, they can still try to get the enhancement.
 
Here it is, stitched together. Looks like there's a bit more at the bottom that's not shown, though.
At the end of Pomplun's report where he talks about interviewing Nick at the jail it looks like there's an audio recording which might be worth FOIA/requesting too. I want to hear the drugged out junkie tell the cop that his kids made his life so stressful.
 
That little girl must be a pro at sleeping through Nick and Kayla's knock-down-drag-out fights if she can slumber right through a police raid where they breach the front door.
Kids can sleep through the fucking end of the world. They can also be woken up by a spider farting. Kids are crazy adaptable (and kind of have to be, or we'd have died out as a species before we came down from the trees).
As @Mayhem and @Biden's Chosen already pointed out, children are not fully grown and developed adults, and it's wrong to expect them to handle a situation that is, even to adults, bizarre at best. While I'm by no means in favor of the Rekieta's lifestyle, there's far too little known about their household at this time to make any useful comments on it without dragging the names of their children through the mud just for a handful of stickers.
There's a bit of the standard Internet bullshit you always get with the "well what could you have done in situation X" that really is just mental masturbation about how THEY would have loved being 16 and have parents whacked out on coke, they'd totally have taken the FAMILY SUV and driven into town and hung out with HOT CHICKS and and and.

We commend the good the kids did, and we absolve them of the good they did not do, and we work to make sure a situation like this never comes into play in our lives and the lives of those we love. I recommend against "well look how bad the parents are, they couldn't even wash their clothes" because there's too many variables (some have said the laundry room was past the crackden) and if the parents/nanny HAD at some point tried to teach the kids how to do laundry and they brushed it off (as kids are wont to do) they'd feel doubly guilty now.

At most there maybe should be some "damn I should teach my kids to do X Y and Z so that if I am incapacitated from an accident, illness, or 26.2 grams of coke they won't die" but that's about it.
If Balldo and Our Wife take this to trial, the prosecution can add on the sentencing enhancement (or at least threaten to). Even if it's a reach for the prosecution, they can still try to get the enhancement.
At trial the charges are separate and rarely connected (the judge provides instruction to the jury, and usually it is "consider these separately, you do NOT have to align with both guilty or both not guilty" - the prosecution will try to argue it has to be both, the defense too (for the other reason, of course). Rarely the judge will say "this charge cannot be guilty unless the other is - for example, someone up for robbery AND possession of a firearm during a robbery (if they're separate charges) cannot be found guilty of the second without the first, because if there was no robbery, the possession wasn't during a robbery. But if the second charge was "possession of a firearm by a felon" or something then it would be independent.

Juries are NOT supposed to say "well he's guilty of something, but the cops didn't present very good evidence, let's guilty him on the charge of being a faggot, that's only a fine" but you know it happens.

AFTER the jury gives the verdict THEN the judge does sentencing later. They won't even let you know if the person you're reviewing the facts about has been convicted of the same exact crime ten times before (as that's prejudicial).
 
huh, I've never driven under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and I've never been "shocked" by not being pulled over for DUI. what did he mean by this?

I am willing to believe that Nick is actually convinced that he never neglected or put his children in danger.

He’s wrong, and his belief is based on his drug compromised mental state, but he may sincerely believe it.

So irritating, he's pulling that same "I don't really care, I just want to set the record straight for YOU, my FRIEND, so YOU know what's really true" shit that he did with Null.

"No, don't believe this obviously false claim that has tons of supporting evidence, just take my word that it's fake! I'm definitely a trustworthy source of what's true or not regarding my own colossal fuckups!"

That line got me the closest I have ever been to fedposting. I had to delete a comment and just leave to take a walk for a bit. I have kids, I have grandkids, hell I have a -great-grandkid and one thing I have found consistently is that young girls only act that at ease with a new adult when they feel scared of something outside of them. If she felt safer with the police officer, who was mid raid of her home, that means she was afraid of the home. Of her parents.

That boiled my blood.

Nick is obviously not ready to admit he has a problem. with substance abuse. All of his relationships will continue to fall apart until he's ready to admit it. The funny juxtaposition he is in is that he can't admit to having a problem without tanking any hope he has for a way out of his case. It's a really hilarious catch 22 for this massive faggot.
 
So far, we have:

1. Search Warrant
2. Arrest Record
3. Mass Camera Footage
4. Possible Body Cam Footage
5. Yellow Flash Group DM Leaks

all of which could be used as evidence in the trial. Assuming Nick knows this  and that he should know the totality of the situation, could someone explain to me what other option he believes he has other than getting the stayed sentence? Is it more likely he ends up like Ralph with an Alford Plea?

I can’t imagine him getting a deal that would allow an Alford plea. They literally found cocaine in his house.

The only deal he’s going to get involves pleading GUILTY to a felony.

YellowFlash posting the messages is scummy, until you consider that Rackets is veraciously denying being an addict (and everything else) and isn't going to change at this rate. Enough friends nuking him from orbit while all saying the same thing has a chance to change that. Frankly a pretty slim chance, but if he's in denial then coddling him just isn't on the table.

Personal sentimentality about that aside, discovery (assuming it goes that far) might be the juiciest thing on planet earth. Some of their group chats and individual chats are guaranteed to be juicy and it would be amazing to see how much of lawtube gets roped into this potentially if the prosecution decides to go so far as to look in that direction for whatever reason. A man can dream can't they?
 
confirmation now that if he is hitting his secret stash or boozing up then he's violating his bail conditions. so now we have three possibilities:
  1. nick's brain is drying/will dry out in the coming days and he will appreciate the gravity of the situation, keep clean, smarten up, and realize that either he fights the warrant the smart way by keeping his mouth shut or goes immediately to plea the charges down.
  2. nick is boozing/using as we speak and will ride the line and do literally whatever it takes to maintain his addiction regardless of the circumstances.
  3. nick's brain is drying out and he's not actually using, but he's also fuming and high out of his mind on copium, so all the mental clarity will go towards fighting his case tooth and nail and in the dumbest, loudest, and most self-destructive way possible. thus, it's only a matter of time before he violates the release conditions.
my guess? number 3. 2 is second most likely. 1 is least likely. any other guesses?

Well… Nick said that he got rid of all the alcohol in the house… Knowing Nick’s live of shyster word games, we can rest arssured that he poured all the liquor into his huge metal glass and is getting super wasted.

He’ll likely run out soon and will need to run out and refill the ol’ liquor reserves. So we might have a break of half a day or such in coping and sneeding.
