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

[AnnLurker]

Rekieta proves what we all know... Lawyers are scum and no one should trust one to not be a huge faggot, no matter how "based" they claim to be.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

Could I please ask what exactly he has done to anger his local collogues?

At the very least, he has spurned and talked very poorly about a local attorney whom Rekieta has known since he started practicing. That attorney ended up representing Montegraph in his suit against Nick for defamation. Then there's Judge Fischer, with whom Nick had problems when he actually somewhat practiced law. Nick didn't help that when spoke quite ill of her on various streams, including the most recent and infamous stream just before he was arrested in which Nick spoke about liquor coming from her vagina. And now he has the prosecutor's attention.

He barely ever practiced and had, at best, a mixed rate of success when he did practice. He was good at what he did in terms of commentary, before the alcoholism, midlife crisis, and success went to his head after the Depp trial. But in a town that small, Nick's very public decline (and no doubt his personal conduct off camera) likely reached the local bar. And nobody in any trade likes a guy who's professionally mediocre but makes millions by masquerading as knowledgable and insightful about the trade. Even less if the guy already comes from money.

Her credit cards being with the cocaine would go to constructive possession. But Nick trying to protect her (instead of his actual wife) by saying she was just a house guest isn't going to help with that.

It's still a lot weaker. At best it's a residue case, if Minnesota even still allows that.

Actually they legalized the possession of drug paraphernalia, even if it has residue on it, just last year.

I'd say the cards would constitute paraphernalia in this case, and it would not be criminal to possess them.

Still, it might have been enough to flip her, if they didn't just decide they had no case.

Let's say that the credit cards sitting in plain sight on the nightstand are very technically able to be construed as "in a public space" and the police are able to justify charging April with possession of Nick's entire stash from around the rest of the public spaces of thehouse. At best, I think such a scenario would only split what is chargable by divying up what is attributable to whom.

My reasoning is, I believe the cocaine coming from the safe in the master bedroom closet defeats any possible argument of the drug being "just" April's.

Question from a non-lawyer retard. Is it possible that if CPS uncovers something criminal outside the scope of a separate criminal investigation, can that cause another criminal investigation? Or would it be added to the ongoing investigation? Or would something else happen entirely?

Whatever CPS does will result in something in family court that probably will be mostly or entirely nonpublic. If it's separately criminal, they can file a separate case or just add it to the current one.

For instance look at the Nick Bate case. CPS was apparently doing nothing for quite a while. Then they sent him a letter saying their investigation was closed. Nick celebrated and gloated. A couple days later he was hauled off to be tried for his actual crimes, since CPS can't prosecute crimes. It's an administrative agency.

All it proves is she provided credit cards to be used as drug paraphernalia. It doesn't prove she was in possession of any particular amount, or even that she personally participated. And Minnesota legalized possession of such material. Pretty much anything that is used to consume drugs can be characterized as "paraphernalia."

Oh, I totally agree with you. I think it's highly unlikely April gets hit with anything.

I was mostly drawing attention to the fact that, unless April has been hiding her previous career as a professional safe cracker, the cocaine being in Nick and Kayla's safe means there's zero plausible argument that it wasn't Nick and Kayla's cocaine, even with April living in the house at the time.

Kandiyohi County estimates the cost for the footage will be at least $3,000. The cost may ultimately be higher if additional police time is needed to search for, review, redact, or reproduce the footage. We estimate that approximately $6,000 will be adequate to ensure that all fees payable to Kandiyohi County under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act are covered.

The request may take several weeks or even longer to process. There is no promise the footage will be received or received on any particular date. They may have a right to deny our request or cite an exemption that protects some portions of the footage. If the County denies our request, it is likely that this video or at least portions of this footage will eventually enter evidence and be made public once it has been admitted as evidence in Court. Minnesota law protects the privacy of individuals seen in bodycam footage and the footage may be censored. It is impossible to predict how censored the footage we obtain might be.

This money may be used in ways other than directly paying the bills of Kandiyohi County. In particular, Minnesota Law permits people involved to consent to having footage released, which greatly helps with getting it released. We are exploring the idea of financially compensating individuals who consent to the release of footage.

If there are significant excess funds, or if our request is denied and no participants consent to having the footage released, the money will be donated to an appropriate charity at my sole discretion (but I will probably run a poll first).

If you donate it, you should consider donating then waiting until the check clears, as it were, then state where it went. If you say anything ahead of time the usual suspects will be making girl-talk phone calls to the charities.

 

[CEO of Gay]

Neither would I. He seems more worried about the court of public opinion rather than the criminal court that could send him to prison.

During the Rittenhouse trial, I remember him sperging about the same. I remember him talking about the need to work the court of public opinion, and then after getting kicked off the Rittenhouse team, talking about how Rittenhouse was doomed because they weren't working the court of public opinion. It's like the court of public opinion is his autistic focus or something.

I remember watching the Viva & Barnes streams, and Barnes said something that caught my attention. I don't remember the exact wording, but the gist of it was that he would not take someone as a client if he doubted the client was innocent, or knew they were guilty, or something like that. His supposed reasoning, was that such knowledge or doubt would linger in the back of his mind, and prevent him from giving his utmost defense of his client, thus failing in his basic duty as a defense attorney. Now, it's totally possible that Barnes was lying, and was just acting all big and noble to promote himself as a big shot lawyer, but it still caught my attention.

To tie this back to Rekieta, I am very curious to see how the relation between Rekieta and Barnes develops as the Balldoverse continues to collapse. Does Rekieta try to hire Barnes as a defense attorney? Does Barnes accept? Does Barnes reject, publicly or quietly? As @MakeAnimeGA suggested upthread, It's possible Rekieta reached out to Barnes to get him to do some PR work. MakeAnimeGA wouldn't be surprised if Rekieta is paying Barnes to work PR; I am curious if Barnes is blinded by loyalty and attempting to help a friend, or cynically doing it promote himself.

That's why want to see if Rekieta tries to hire Barnes for his defense, and whether Barnes accepts or not: it has the potential to show just how retarded the both of them are, and how much of a liar Barnes is or isn't.

 

[Spaded Dave]

how much of a liar Barnes is or isn't

Barnes is a faggot consumed by affectation who says whatever he feels will promote his image in the way he wants. I gave him and Viva a chance a long time ago but to be honest I saw this shit coming a mile away. They are both full of shit and manipulative. Barnes constantly having a cigar in his hand and never lighting it just drips of pathetic affectation.

For Viva it wasn't so much what he said, but something I noticed early on. His family just happened to interrupt him every video to show what a good boi family man he was. This happening once in a while on stream is one thing, it happening practically every video and not being edited out caused me to develop a strong dislike for him immediately because it felt like an overt attempt at emotional manipulation. Even still, I gave their streams a shot because they were discussing things I was interested in. It seems like my instincts are consistently validated by them.

Of course this begs the question as to why this has not come up in the records that people found out about Nick's $50k bail decision.

Apparently both Nick and Kayla are out on unconditional bond.

Nick says the court will clear it up on Monday, right? Well, I'll ask around again if I don't see it by the opening hours. Seems a bit too brazen of a lie

 

[AN/ALR56]

Dumb question, but can the nose guards get legally fucked by their bar associations for their comments justifying child abuse?

It makes me really mati that they are explaining away child abuse by fucking blame 6 years olds for not showering on their own or their 16 year old kid for not taking care of the kids for them.

Nothing’s gonna happen unless it fucks over their client somehow.

I'd rather they get to make moronic remarks than have to deal with the FBI being called on me every time I say something rude about someone's retarded race/sex/opinions

 

[RodgerDodger]

Question from a non-lawyer retard. Is it possible that if CPS uncovers something criminal outside the scope of a separate criminal investigation, can that cause another criminal investigation? Or would it be added to the ongoing investigation? Or would something else happen entirely?

Yes. The CPS investigation and actions can lead to new charges. Either part of the current case, such as an elevation of the current Child Neglect charges, or as a completely separate action.

For example imagine if CPS discovers a kid got into the drugs, such as the gummies, and there was some sort of incident? CPS will at some point be talking to any other adults in the house. Including Uncle Aaron and Daddy's Fleshlight.

The adults Sexually Depraved lifestyle may have CPS looking into some other areas as well. Hopefully they don't find anything.

Feel free to call me a retard and autist but I gotta ask, is the hearing on August 20th something that citizens can attend in person? I'm not quite sure what the exact rules are for attendance, probably should have paid more attention in High School Civics class.

I hypothetically could possibly be close enough to the location of the trial that I could easily pop in for the day.

Listen, not alot of stuff happens in Minnesota okay? I would like to be of use in documenting something else besides taking a picture Metokurs tombstone to confirm he's 6 feet under in like 5 years.

Yes. It won't be crazy busy like an urban county courtroom, but there will be several people there. It looks like Kandiyohi schedules 2-3 omnibus hearings in each one hour block.

Here's a decent overview of an omnibus hearing. Keep in mind the page is a criminal defense attorney selling his services. As of right now (and things can change before August), it looks like Balldo wants to challenge the warrant, so that will be one of the motions at the hearing.

If his doesn't say "Life, (4/5 stars), Glad I Could Help", I'll be disappointed.

Others can give specifics but generally the public can attend trials. Be prepared to bring a pen and pad of paper for your notes, you're not going to be allowed to have the requisite gear to, say, liveblog this shit.

It would also be useful to let us know about anything major happening, the (unlikely) outbursts and the general vibe.

I read the entire warrant but how is any of that grounds for a search warrant of his residence?

Honestly I don't think he's wrong about this. I'm failing to see the probable cause as well.

 

[Thomas Talus]

Because state bar associations derive their authority to control who can become a lawyer for the public from the state, first amendment protections apply to their disciplinary rules, so I would not expect any attempts at discipline to be successful.
