Would you say more than boogie?
Less than Boogie. Nick's still at least entertaining with his stupidity.
I don't think he has good legal representation, but more importantly, his ego refuses to allow him to see reality. I don't know when reality will kick in if not when a Jury announces a guilty verdict for this loser.
Maybe he'll end up like Chris-Chan, sitting in a jail cell convinced he's Law Jesus and dindu nuffin.
The character of the defendant is generally irrelevant to the prosecution unless he or his attorney makes it a part of his defense. "My client is a good, upstanding trad dad, there's no way he could do stuff like this" would do it. This is the legal doctrine of "opening the door," there's often a lot that the prosecution can't bring up about a defendant, unless the defense brings it up first.
This would be an extremely stupid thing to do, of course, which makes it kinda likely knowing the Balldo.
I'd say the cokestream actually is evidence, not of character, but that he was actually on the cocaine that he possessed. The fact that he had a house full of cocaine and on top of that, was obviously under the influence, undermines any bullshit he may claim about having no idea why his master bedroom was strewn with drugs and drug paraphernalia and that drugs were also in his safe.
No, she already complied with it. Her order explicitly said if she already did it she doesn't have to do it again. She only has to see probation. She already did photo and fingerprints. 9:24 Rumble video Judge on pictures/prints: "If you've already done this then that has been satisfied."
You're probably right. We don't actually know about fingerprints but since we've seen a mugshot it seems really likely they would have taken prints at the same time unless Minnesota is weird in yet another way.
They absolutely can't go in a closed purse to search. Emptied out contents? Dunno. How obvious was it that the vial had drugs inside?
The fact she was clearly in possession would be probable cause to continue the search, especially considering it was on her credit cards which presumably came from her purse.
because if it specifies a garage it's for a garage. If they find a kilo on top of the car hood in the garage, they can certainly add on drug charges.
I'd say that would constitute exigent circumstances justifying a continued search to make sure that the people running what is apparently a drug distribution house don't immediately destroy more evidence that is almost certainly in the house.
If not, it would justify securing the premises until an expanded warrant could be issued on an emergency basis.
I wonder if the video of her in the hearing can be used as circumstantial evidence since it looks very similar to the Balldoman's stream room (A stretch but just a curious thought exercise)
@AnOminous 5th amendment issue for this? They did state the miranda to her I think.
I'm not sure it's really relevant to whether April possessed cocaine. That's apparent from the fact it was mixed with her own intimate property that ordinarily wouldn't be in the possession of others.
It might be relevant to Nick if she pleads or ends up convicted that he's still consorting with cocaine addicts. That's relevant at the very least to his CPS case that he has a cocaine addict living in his home.
She doesn't have any prohibition against associating with them.
But CPS probably won't be pleased with Nick still cavorting around and keeping side whores with a booger sugar habit in his home.
