Okay lads, here's where we're at.
1. Rekieta is a liar.
The State filed a statement that it is 'unlikely' that minors will be testifying in this case. This is a killshot to his muh keedz argument. He's just using them as a human shield to avoid any accountability.

2. No pretrial hearings broadcasted.
The rule in MN is that pretrial hearings don't get broadcasted, unless they do. In exceptional cases (Chauvin) they allow it even though the rules literally say the court cannot. The Judge has decided to adhere to the standard application of the court rules and not allow pretrial broadcasting.
Naturally, once the jury is sworn in, we'll apply again.
