The dream scenario is Nick is already in prison by the time the trial comes along and has to appear in Monty's case in prison orange in manacles. That would be a hoot. They'd probably let him wear a suit actually but the concept is still funny of him having to get carted to and fro and then go back to his new barry home.
Even if Monty sued Nick in federal court in Minnesota (pretty sure venue wouldn't be proper except in Minnesota), it would still be a diversity jurisdiction case and so the federal court would be applying Minnesota law anyways. Maybe there's an argument that a federal judge would be more amenable to applying a foreign state's law than a Minnesota state judge, but the mere fact that it was in federal court wouldn't mean anything as long as the court would be applying Minnesota law (including Minnesota's law on determination of choice of law).
I hate to ask a really stupid and uninformed question, but if a citizen is convicted for a crime and still has a pending case related to another matter, are they transported by the state to the court? Or, given the modern day, will he be attending from his prison via zoom? I suppose I question whether Rekieta will even be able to feasibly attend. I do not know whether there will be a jurisdiction conflict if he is held somewhere else and then needs to attend a separate case. My layman's thinking is that the state will not foot the bill for transportation for an unrelated matter, but I could be 100% wrong.
Generally, yes. They can't just force you to default on a case. Considering the case is local, there's really no logistical issue getting him there.
I wonder how much of Nick's income is now being paid out to lawyers. Randazza. Two lawyers for CPS & criminal charges. One for his wife. One for himself.
I was planning on asking that question too. Thought about it the other day. I presume not.
Kayla doesn't even have an attorney making an appearance in her criminal case (last time I checked) despite being Nick's wife and despite (according to Geno Bisconte) having "Nick" tattooed on her chest. I really don't think the mistress will get Nick paying for an attorney.
Kayla’s lawyer is Mueller, Nick’s is Weber. They are not sharing a lawyer in the CPS case.
No, she has a separate lawyer for the CHIPS case. Though they've both been signing their names to some of the interesting matters of public record that have been posted in the Nick Rekieta thread.
Neither of them are involved anymore. Those were court-appointed counsel whom Nick and Kayla replaced at some point after the June 6th hearing.
I don't think there's anywhere that shows whether it has been paid or not, not sure if it will ever be confirmed unless Monty's counsel complains about it not being paid.
A 4k subscriber account claiming to be Monty confirms in the below comment on @elb's channel that he has NOT been paid the $300 he owes from Nick Rekieta.
I had a feeling Nick never paid up. So kind of Monty to confirm.
