I assume Nick will challenge the warrant at the 7/15 pretrial conference for the CHIPS case? When that fails would an appeal push back the 7/23-7/26 court window or does court proceed as normal with the possibility of a appeal throwing out the ruling later on?
Would findings in the case be admissible in the criminal case (barring a subsequent but successful warrant challenge) in August? Are they basically being forced to litigate their criminal proceeding a month early?
And aside from that, Robert Rekieta's testimony being "recieved" in the June 6th hearing means the kids are probably with them and not Kayla's more local family (due to the sister testifying)?
That hearing is with the Juvenile and Family Court regarding the Children. It's not a criminal court. It has its own rules, procedures and concerns. It has nothing to do with the warrant.
Even if findings of neglect or worse were achieved via a warrant, later thrown out, the Juvee Court will not care. It is concerned with the health and safety of the children. Not the Criminal Prosecution of Baldo and his Cokewhores. Rules of evidence are different and looser. There is no "the warrant is bogus so we have to ignore the findings of neglect and coke in thr kid, and give the kids back." The findings on the kids are all that matters.
From what I understand, MN law all but requires children to be returned to their parents -- even if they are known drug users with a history of violence.
The path to returning the Coke Kid is much much smaller than it was. But Juvee/family courts can be hard to predict. You can't take Minnesota as a whole because the post apocalyptic Minneapolis Hellscape colors the overall results while smaller rural counties may be much more sane. CPS Social Worker Caseload will be much smaller and more personal in Kandiyoh.
I imagine Aaron will be substantially easier to prosecute after the other 3 have been convicted.
Nothing will be brought before then in case they need his testimony, maybe in exchange for an immunity deal. I’d wager Aaron would be dumb enough to testify without one though.
Dear God, please fucking stop! Unless there is some truly disturbing revelation regarding one or more of the kids Aaron is not getting arrested. He's not getting charged or convicted. No DA will care about this idiot except as a grandstanding and unreliable witness. That they don't really need.
The only thing they even need him for is to verify that he did in fact say the stuff on his show that the investigators referenced in the warrant request. And that this was said publicly without any prompting contact or discussions with Law Enforcement. That's it. They honestly do not even care if he was lying. They don't need him to convict the Rekeita's. He's an unreliable witness and they have 26g's of Coke clearly stored used and kept in Nick's bedroom. The only thing they give a shit about Aaron is his unprompted public statements corroborate those of the Mandatory Reporters, and of Nick's recorded public actions for the purposes of the warrant.
That's it! That's all this cuck is needed for. That's all anybody will care. He's revealed to be human garbage. But not worth the DA's time.
I just went back through the timeline. It is my opinion that Nick's hiatus for a family emergency was because the daughter did some rails. This was just as Aaron and April were splitting and he started giving hints about the situation in mid April.
The May preacher's report to the police did not offer enough evidence to get a search warrant yet when the cops came, they came in heavy even breaking down the door. CPS tested all the kids for drugs with a hair test. I contend that they knew to look. I further assert that they knew to look because when April wouldn't come home after a month of staying with the Rekietas, Kayla wouldn't leave Nick and Nick started getting nasty with Aaron, he ratted them out to the cops including the child exposure. Why is Aaron OK publicly admitting his culpability to this? Perhaps he has immunity from prosecution.
It makes all the moves by the police and CPS make sense. They knew exactly what they were looking for and where to find it. They knew a child had been exposed to drugs and they knew they needed hair as opposed to urine to prove it because more than a month had elapsed.
Aaron brought them all down while securing immunity for himself and a favorable position in his divorce with the bonus of appeasing his ex-wife so he could maintain visitation with his own kids.
Aaron did not secure immunity. The cops never spoke to him before arresting the cokewhores. They just watched his show. Aaron aired all this shit publicly and freely without any involvement of Police or DA. We don't know if they have ever bothered to even talk to him. Honestly the only reason they might have is a separate investigation regarding the coke found in the 9 year old. CPS might talk to him. The DA really doesn't need him for anything we know about.
Poor Aaron, just another cuck in the corner.
