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

[Farmer Y]

There is so much information out here to fully remember. I do recall it was mentioned that April would hunt at Nick's place. May be one of hers.

 

[Green-Machine]

This feels like the group chat Mindset was going on about. "He's talking about stuff that can hurt his case! Where the guns were!"

it is, cause one of the messages he quotes is in the Leaks, specifically the "I'm not saying anything else in here, talk to me in DMS."
I'm sure the Giddiest Grifter in the group is the leaker. Person milking it the most but doesn't want to get caught. Kinda like how Tyler McVicker "stumbles upon" leaked Valve content, and TOTALLY not the one blackmailing and manipulating people to give it to him to make content about.

 

[Pelican Bones]

well now the dog the bounty hunter arc can begin

As far as I know she hunts with bow and arrows.

How come Nick's black eye was not mentioned but "track marks" on his arms were?

The sores were probably mentioned because they're what whoever at the church told the pastor they thought they were track marks.

Okay so April turned state evidence because she’s bent over a rail with her cards being found with the coke. The extremely low bar of probable cause was met and exceeded as with the 4-6 different witnesses saying something and the streams a reasonable person would easily believe something was going on. Once I see that body cam footage I will probably bet this one is gonna be kinda an open and shut case.

The coke was Identified as coke by field kits and the brown didn’t trip the kit but at this point it doesn’t matter the coke is enough. Now we all know nick could quite frankly easily slip this by pleading it down and being “regretful” and agreeing to go to rehab but he’s too much of a mouthy dipshit to make that move and instead will take barnes god awful to the point of potential malpractice “advice” and fight an impossible fight. Getting bent over a rail and get his back blown out by the prosecutor harder than his wife in Jamaica.

.22 ammunition is probably the most common ammunition manufactured alongside the 9mm. Casings alone are meaningless and considering they found actual firearms, its insignificant to the overall charges. Its for shooting squirrels and small game.

as far as the church prudes, with the depraved shit ole' nicky's been up to he's making kim kardashian look like a choir girl

 

[repentance]

It speaks to how little Rekietas taught their kids if the kid didn't have the initiative to call his grand parents and ask to visit. They all have internet and somekind of device to access it.

I'd bet good money that the kids were made to fear the consequences of reaching out to anyone.

 

[Sheryl Nome]

Nick paid 5000 dollars so he doesn't have to be sober.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

Nick paid 5000 dollars so he doesn't have to be sober.

Maybe it's so he can leave the country, fly to Serbia, and beat up Null outside a Belgrade KFC. He might have to scope out each KFC there, but he's got nothing but time for the next two months.

 

[DwayneTheSockJohnson]

Lol, he’s so fucking out of touch.

“EIGHTY MILES!”

Some people have that commute one way, and guess what… They still manage to feed the kids, do laundry and not be neglectful.

And then we have Nick who has to do fuck all but drive around for an hour or two, and he makes it sound like he’s digging ditches at the state pen.

Yeah, but that's an hour or two that he can't snort the devil's dried jizzum and turn his wife into a 40 year old rave port-a-potty.

 

[Scotched up Scott]

maybe the drugs and drink stop him form giving himself a new necklace or a Kurt Cobain facial at abusing his kids. I've seen worse reasons to desperately stay on cloud nine

 

[Boingboingboingboi]

Nick paid 5000 dollars so he doesn't have to be sober.

but he allegedly dumped out all his liquor? if i'm being charitable, he intends to stay sober and he's just ponied up so stop all the cops harassing him and the constant drug tests and affronts to his freedom. not dealing with those conditions, regardless of sobriety, might be worth $5k to someone. (hell, maybe his parents are helping him out.)

uncharitably, yes, he wants to be able to get wasted on the daily and blow his secret stash (or a new one) all summer long. his behavior is just all over the place so it's tough to tell.

Its 10000% to drink. He needs it to stream. He needs to stream for income. Its very simple.

 

[LaxerBRO]

All Nick has to do is rent a booth at the local farmers market and put ads out he is fresh selling banana peppers.

Like a moth to a flame.

Or a fatty to some Camembert.

 

[I'm not a Robot]

Its 10000% to drink. He needs it to stream. He needs to stream for income. Its very simple.

Can he write off his $5,000 bond as a business expense?

 

[Henri Barbusse]

Its 10000% to drink. He needs it to stream. He needs to stream for income. Its very simple.

He needs to stream for income, but if he drinks on stream, he will self-incriminate like crazy.

 

[Boingboingboingboi]

Its 10000% to drink. He needs it to stream. He needs to stream for income. Its very simple.

so in that case, it's basically an investment, since the justification would be that he needs to drink to maintain his character as a hard drinking lawyer to keep the money coming in, which would make sense because he's now paying for litigation for 2 ongoing cases. my only problem with that theory is his claim to have dumped all the liquor. he was either lying or had a change of heart within 8 hours of posting that. not impossible for an addict unwilling to change, but i guess we'll see if/when he finally fires up a stream.

He needs to stream for income, but if he drinks on stream, he will self-incriminate like crazy.

depends on what you mean. drinking on stream isn't a crime, and the bail he just posted is unconditional, so he's under no duress not to drink (but, of course, he can't do anything illegal). if by self-incriminate you mean getting drunk and saying things publicly that could torpedo his case, then yeah, for sure, drinking on stream could lead to self-incrimination.

 

[Swole McPole]

I realise I’m not adding anything by saying this but 25g of coke is so much coke. That’s real degenerate shit for normal people who aren’t actually selling it inside a drug network.

It's not *that* much. If there are three or four of you, doing two grams between the lot of you would be a moderate/average session. So you're down to twelve sessions. If you're just doing it at weekends, that'd just be three months supply.

Add to this: if you're a lawyer, you want to minimize the amount of contact you have with your dealer. The more contact, the more likely you are to get beat or get busted. If you know that you've got a good connect and you've got the money, it'd make sense to lay in a supply and only have to worry about it a couple of times a year, rather than having to go down to the drug spot or have that scuzzball make a delivery two or three times every weekend.

Also: the higher up the supply chain you go, the better the purity is likely to be. If you're tryiing to get coke that isn't laced with fentanyl, the closer your supplier is to the importer, the better your chances of getting the high purity stuff.

That said: Nick was clearly using cocaine while he 'worked' (ie, while he was streaming.) That's a sure sign that he'd moved past the realm of recreational use and into the area of dependent use/addiction. Consequently, there's no chance in hell that an ounce of coke is going to last him three months. I've read accounts of heavily dependent users who claimed to be using an ounce of coke a day. I think that's an implausible claim, but I've no doubt that the three of them could easily snort there way through an eightball in a 24/36 hour session. Two sessions a week and the ounce is lasting them a month. That's well within the realms of personal use IMO.

I highly doubt Kayla has the mental capacity to be that diabolical given she's already an airhead and deep into substance abuse. It was probably closer to the truth.

I think Kayla told the cops that April was the nanny because that's the line Rekieta spun her to justify moving his fuck-toy into the house on a 24/7 basis.

"It'll be great. She can take care of the kids. She can drive them to school. She can feed them and wash their clothes!"

Worst nanny ever!

What's Nick's life looking like after this? I'm insanely curious. There's no way he'll be involved with the law again, right?

 

[Blarmed&Dangerous]

What's Nick's life looking like after this? I'm insanely curious. There's no way he'll be involved with the law again, right?

It all depends on his choices and how the case goes. I've  hired lawyers with shadier pasts than Nick.
