Which video is inadmissible unless April testifies? The bodycam footage, or the pillstream?

And as I understand it, Nick is arguing that the pillstream is inadmissible because the cops saw a reupload version, while the original is privated. Can the prosecution subpoena that from him, or would that be self-incrimination?
The bodycam. Team Crackets characterized the bodycam footage as containing statements by April about Rekieta committing crimes. If the prosecution wants those statements in evidence April has to take the stand per the 6th Amendment. She is accusing him of stuff, they get to confront her, contradict factual errors she makes, and impugn her credibility in front of the jury. They don't want her to take the stand or for the bodycam footage to be in evidence, so they said some vague stuff about Miranda rolled in with the 6th Amendment concern to try to put the whole thing under a cloud just like the warrant and get it tossed.
 
if she basically admitted it how can they not use that in court? don't you wave your miranda rights when you start talking? or is it just that when you ask for a lawyer they can't ask you any questions till they're present?

They can't use April saying stupid shit unless they call April as a witness.

If April said stupid shit, they can just call her as a witness and then be able to use the video evidence.

April already has charges, so they'd be using that evidence against her as well, which might be part of the issue?

Basically my understanding as of now is that she is co-conspirator in the crime and as such it is singular case. As thus it is covered under her rights. So she needs to testify and throw others under the bus. Let's see if she gets good deal for that.
 
A full unedited copy of Rekieta's coke stream exists right? Are they seriously going to make to the judge watch every second of the "unedited" version of his stream for him to come to the exact same conclusion? Smart.
Well Nick has an unedited copy, which is exactly the same. It’s too bad it wasn’t the Elissa Clips version, he would’ve been seething over that.
 
Shout out to the poor sap who doxed himself to fly Ralph out to MN only for Ralph to fail at dawksing any of the damn karen farmers in attendance. You truly are the smartest person in the Killstream audience.

I might have missed the explaination if there was one, but why does April testifying or not determine if the body cam footage comes in?

Also it's a shame the hearing was pretty much a dud, but there being a strong turnout shows how much the public needs to see the trial streamed.

They drop the charges on her in exchange for her testimony to take him down.
 
Is the questioning the authenticity of the coke stream as pointless as I think?

It's a probable cause - with a very low bar to clear (according to Shaun and Kurt). For example, even if an informant lied or was mistaken about something it doesn't destroy the warrant. If I understand correctly the restream could even be maliciously edited but it doesn't automatically invalidate the warrant.

It's STILL on Odysee. And what makes it more damning is obviously Nick has it set up to automatically mirror what he posts to YouTube which requires the channel owner to connect the accounts.
