State of Minnesota v. Nicholas Rekieta, Kayla Rekieta, April Imholte

[Dumpster dived waifu]

He'll have his lawyer hand pick the finest people who will truly believe him and fight this to the end.

Yeah, then the prosecution makes them sit through the entire coke stream. They will all beg the judge to let them vote for death penalty.

This was a well put response by the state. The only thing I don't fully know about is the firearms. But if they were out in the open by drugs? Open and shut confiscate.
If they were locked up in a safe?
Different story. Sounds like to me they were out in the open, which is extra fucked.

Under the best isn't exactly a safe place to put them. I'd argue that that justifies charging Nick for them.

Why? That stream is hilarious. Now, granted, for the wrong reasons, but still

I'm not sure small town normies are going to enjoy sitting through 4 hours of his "stand-up comedy" and seething. They don't even have the context to understand why Animesuckscopeandsneed is fucking hilarious.

If he takes that deal he wouldn't last a week without pissing hot for alcohol and cocaine (and Ricardo and Romaine)

To date, outside of one slip up with alcohol, whatever he has been doing, he has managed to time the rest of the drug tests so that he doesn't exceed the drug-alcohol detection levels by the time the test is taken.

When it comes to the arm patch test kit, I have to wonder if there isn't some way he can slip a barrier between his skin and the test patch to ensure it doesn't detect what substances he may have been abusing.

Almost definitely, but Nick could save a whole bunch of money by just representing himself. He's allowed to, he's just fucking retarded and thinks splurging money means he's successful.

Isn't part of the risk that he throws out his 5th amendment rights by acting as his low lawyer? Anything he says could be used against him. Where as having a lawyer as a middle man ensures that what is said by the lawyer isn't Nick's direct testimony.

My theory is that Nick is going full on stupid because he discovered party uppers 20 years too late and thinks he can be coked out of his mind every day without downsides.

Given that Nick's old house is littered with pineapple decorations and even has a pineapple lamp post, I suspect that Nick and Kayla has been swinging for a long long while. This culture is probably where they were first exposed to cocaine.

It didn't kick into high gear until Nick had plenty of funds from the Depp trial to afford all sorts of degenerate vacations, nights out buying the entire bar drinks so that everyone knows who he is, that he has money to waste and is down to party, Now he has money to waste on a new house, a nanny, a sports car to crash, and lots and lots of drugs. His drug use was probably kept under wraps previously due to less time out partying and not being able to afford a whole bunch of cocaine.

 

[Swole McPole]

He has not only been defiant in co-operating with the state on testing and getting his kids back, he has insulted them every step of the way, mocked them, and been generally sleazy about it.
The best part is he has now wasted their time by not working on any plea deals.

It's a different world today -- a world in which niggers can burn down cities and nobody turns the fire hoses on them, rather, we praise their bravery and heroism. But twenty years ago, Rekieta's post-arrest behaviour would be seen as hard evidence of 'denial', a refusal to engage with the therapeutic process and as such his children would be regarded as still being 'at risk'.

Back then, I used to complain about the unreasonable standards child protection set when it came to addicts. I'd argue that the insistance on ideological compliance with their recovery model was anti-scientific and just harmed children in unreasonably seperating families.

But every change has unexpected consequences, I suppose. For every family that gets helped by relaxing these rigid ideological standards, perhaps there's another one that gets fucked over because somebody's turning a blind eye to their addiction.

Swinging and mustanging were IMO alcohol's fault. From what I know he became a cokehead at the start of this year and the only reason he didn't crash and burn instantly is that he has no day job and lots of money to cover up fuckups. His behavior with his own court trials reminds me of a coworker who also discovered Adderall in his late 40s and got into his head he can come to work doped up to the gills and that sleep is for the weak, it was hilarious (in retrospect). Coke is not that expensive, I'm sure the mustang and stupid paintings cost him much more.

The way he treats this case i.e. holding a wet metal rod and begging for the lightning to come down while lashing out at everyone making fun of him or asking him to calm down, makes me think he's getting high every day and in such state you have an overwhelming urge to storm out and slay something evil. He's never going to compromise on anything, doing so would be the end of acting like a smug prick who's getting away with obviously illegal things. You can't buy that even with oil money.

Nick obviously did not progress must past university and feels as if he was cheated of his time to explore wild living. Most people explore that kind of thing when young and their resources to indulge such are limited. Nick's arrested development allowed him to overindulge without the moderative effect of maturity.

The only thing I don't fully know about is the firearms. But if they were out in the open by drugs? Open and shut confiscate.

Different story. Sounds like to me they were out in the open, which is extra fucked.

Under the best isn't exactly a safe place to put them. I'd argue that that justifies charging Nick for them.

Possession of firearms by user of a controlled substance is a crime in itself. Possession of both is evidence of a sperate crime. Nick has not been charged for this, but he could be. It was enough to confiscate them.

Now he has money to waste on a new house, a nanny, a sports car to crash, and lots and lots of drugs. His drug use was probably kept under wraps previously due to less time out partying and not being able to afford a whole bunch of cocaine.

Correction: He had the second house and nanny before he started on YouTube.

So the State (super evil government defending Joe Biden) looked at the video on his channel and told him they did. That must have leaked out of one of his brain holes. It's not like they can't ask Youtube to just give them the video right? I don't know for sure but I'm pretty sure youtube saves everything.

Either way, Nick is going to jump on it: "See!! They admit they only have the video with the watermark!! My video has no watermark! They're lying when they say they have my video! See Sean! Sean!"

Defense will get a rebuttal and you can expect to see more "my client hid the video and the cops didn't say where he got it from! That's a lie and Mr Balldo should instantly win". She maybe should have got ahead of it more as her wording around no longer publicly available is going to be seized on to allege some "How'd you get the video then"

The response doesn't even address the "They didn't watch my video they watched a COPY of my video! POMPLUN LIED!" argument. Did they not follow it or was it not even worth addressing?

Why is everyone so sure that they didn't have the original video from nick's channel just because he privated it? Alphabet are as buddy-buddy with the cops as it gets. Am I missing something or is there some reason the cops couldn't have just asked youtube politely for a copy?

We know amazon give the cops full access to all the ring doorbells without a warrant and it would be stupid to think every other FAGMAN company doesn't. The state probably just doesn't want to come out and say this because it makes them look bad.

It is one of the original charges. With the third one being child endangerment. So essentially whole process is correct. Coke in house, expected use, under bed gun... Yeah that charge stands let's collect rest of the guns too while we are there. And that does not need new warrant.

This is Nick's argument. 'THEY DIDN'T DISCLOSE A WARRANT TO ALPHABET! IF THEY DID, IT IS A DISCOVERY VIOLATION AND A GOVERNMENT MISCONDUCT, SO WE WIN!'

If the prosecution did not disclose something, in some cases it WOULD entitle Nick to a dismissal, but there is no evidence this has occurred.

I think we might be confused. I'm positing here that there was no warrant to alphabet in the first place. The police just asked for a copy of the video (much like ring doorbell footage) and alphabet was more than happy to hand it over. In that case there's nothing to disclose. Unless you're saying they need to tell the court if they asked alphabet regardless of if there was a warrant or not?

I am fairly sure that you still need to disclose to the defence that you asked for the video and got it.

 

[Gehenna]

The only people who have anything to gain from Nick's continued self-destructive idiocy are us, the LawTubers monetizing his downfall, who he is giving free content, and the prosecutors who get all this free material full of adverse admissions and lies to impeach his credibility on cross if he's dumb enough to testify on his own behalf.

He absolutely is. I still hold that the man is very clearly gearing up for a full battle in the courts. I additionally hold the only reason some people here are believing he won't is because everyone with a functioning brain sees that is a terrible idea and so they are believing it cannot occur for that reason.

Because the prosecutor basically said as much in the reply Friday. It doesn't matter for the warrant. The prosecutor doesn't even understand what retarded shit Nick is arguing.

From prosecutors reply 8/30

In support of that contention, he [Pomplun] submitted a powerpoint that contains a clip from that video stream. The clip is less than one minute long and does not include any audio. This was a clip from the full video that Detective Pomplun created.

We know the clip has a 3rd party channel watermark. The only way it has that watermark is if the full video has it. Prosecutor says that the clip was created directly from the full video Pomplun used for the warrant and disclosed to the court. Pomplun was not untruthful about it nor was it materially different nor was it intended to deceive the court. Nick just thinks it's significant that they used a copy from a different channel.

I saw this as Nick's argument in a nutshell in the form of casual conversation with Pomplun.

Pomplun: I saw the theatrical release of Deadpool 3 over the weekend.
Nick: I didn't know you were in California.
P: I wasn't. I saw it at my local AMC theater on opening weekend.
N: But THE theatrical release is stored in a fault in Hollywood. You can't see it Minnesota.
P: WTF are you talking about?
N: You lied about seeing THE theatrical release. What you watched was a copy of THE theatrical with possible differences. You LIED and everything you said should be tossed. I WIN!!!
Judge: Are you retarded?

Again, you are thinking too narrowly and small. Every time Nick files a motion or makes a video, more and more members of the public are educated on the incompetence and vindictiveness of the state. Every time some random know-nothing Lawtuber is proven wrong (or even if they are proven right but for obviously poorly reasoned legal conclusions by the court), another set of people get woken up.

Eventually enough people will see the undeniable truth: the over-reach, the corruption, the downright evil of the court system.

Even if the ridiculous conclusion happens and Nick is found guilty of a felony, he will be PROVEN innocent in the only place that matters: the hearts and minds of rational, clear-thinking Americans.

 

[clipartfan92]

Where as having a lawyer as a middle man ensures that what is said by the lawyer isn't Nick's direct testimony.

That might be applicable to any other person, but this is Nick Rekieta we're talking about. I'm pretty sure his whole plan is to pin losing on the lawyer when it inevitably happens.

 

[Harvey Danger]

They don't even have the context to understand why Animesuckscopeandsneed is fucking hilarious.

I'm sure Kiwi Farms, a website, could helpfully file an amicus curiae brief with the relevant visual aids to explain things to the court.

(Yes I know you don't file amicus curiae in a regular trial, but during appeals when a case is under review. But at least Josh could have Mr Hardin write it up and submit it to the prosecutor, hopefully get it into the record somehow.)

 

[joebobmurphy]

As much as I would love to see Nick getting a nickel for his bullshit, I'm afraid I'm going to have to be "that guy." People keep saying he is "fucked" meaning he is going to jail. No, he isn't going to jail. Not now, not ever. He'll peacock and rattle his saber for a while and when he realizes they aren't going to back down, he will ask for a deal and he will get it. He'll get something like probation, community service, and counseling. He'll fuck up at least two of them, but the state won't do jack shit about it because he is an upper middleclass white man and they can't be asked to pretend that they care beyond the initial slap to the wrist.

Maybe if he later assaults a cop he might see a jail cell. The feds take that kind of shit personally. Note that of all the crimes Ralph committed, the only one he ever did time for was assaulting an officer. Even then it's not a guarantee. Tomlinson took a swing at a cop on camera and wasn't even arrested. It's a crapshoot to be sure.

Quote me on it, give me top hats, but I believe I am right. Most lolcows have the Devil's own luck when it comes to legal issues. Nick isn't going to jail, however much he deserves it.
