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

[parsnip]

@AnOminous does it reflect badly on Nick's attorney to be filing things at the last moment or is this a normal thing that lawyers do?

Take this into account; Ty Beard was super fond of filing shit at the very last literal second, and how well did that work out for him?

Not who you were asking, but it's pretty normal to file 3-4 hours before the deadline. You should ideally make sure that your filings are correct and properly notarized, though.

It's fairly common for things to be filed at the last second, the real problem comes when you're writing it at the last second as well. ideally what you're supposed to do is get the bulk written a few days before it's due and spend the remaining time polishing.

 

[DiabeticSydePhil]

He has til Midnight today, right? So we won't see what he filed until Monday?

 

[Gobermental Supervisor]

Documents are filed online and we will see them when they are uploaded.
No need for a person to do anything with it.
That is how we got the last Balldo filing on a Sunday before.

Strange, the next entry was added to MCRO but it wasn't the defense brief.

I would have expected this after the brief was received. My guess is that the judge received the electronic copy and acknowledged it electronically, but the clerk hasn't gotten to it yet?

It's pretty routine practice either because they're actually busy enough they're getting it done at the last minute or just not to give the other side more time to reply at the cost of your own time. Waiting until 11:59 p.m. is pretty goofy, though, at least if done for reasons other than severe time crunch.

I don't think this is an obligatory reply anyway and there's not really much way to gild the turd of the original filing.

If it isn't obligatory I don't really see the advantage of filing another pile of cope and seethe, other than to the Barneswalker's billable hours.

I was pretty critical of the formatting and other issues making it obvious that it was slapped together at the last moment, obviously edited by multiple people, and nobody had done a final pass over it to standardize the formatting. Fonts changed in the middle of the table of contents and all sorts of sloppiness like that.

If you take out the tylophone notary shit, though, Lungmoine's were no better and he's supposedly an expert. Same lazy formatting, same unprofessional bullshit. Now, you might expect that from some flat fee hack, but considering what both of these clowns were charging, in the high six figures, it's ridiculous they didn't have at least a legal secretary or something to clean this shit up before filing it at the last minute.

Entirely possibly that the site hasn't updated with Nicks filings, but so far the only update is that the judge has taken the case under advisement. I do not know enough legalese to understand if this matters.

Edit: Shit, noticed that two messages above mine someone gave the same update.

It usually means or at least strongly implies (not sure about Minnesota) that the court considers the matter fully briefed and ripe for a decision. Someone speculated on the main Nick thread that this entry showing up when it did indicates Nick's lawyer probably called as a courtesy to let them know he wasn't going to be filing a reply.

Alternately, he actually did file one and it's delayed, and that's what triggered the court taking the matter under advisement.

Another time the court might say this verbally is at the end of a hearing to indicate the parties need do nothing more but wait for a decision. Parties can also request to file a supplemental brief of some sort, sometimes an informal letter brief to the court, if an issue has come up that requires more briefing.

So where are we with known upcoming court dates?

 

[A Little Bird]

So where are we with known upcoming court dates?

Nick:
By 6 October - Judge's ruling on whether Nick is entitled to a Franks hearing. Not a hard deadline; falls on a weekend too.
Next hearing currently not scheduled.

Kayla:
28 October, 2:15pm - Omnibus hearing.

April:
8 October, 3:30pm - Omnibus hearing.

Aaron (for the sake of completeness):
19 September, 8:45am - Omnibus hearing.

My disapproval of capital punishment is more that I don't trust the government to do that shit

I'd rather just have God smite people more often.

Has Nick ever weighed in on capital punishment? Whatever his position is I'm inclined to take the opposing one.

Something about forcing criminals to wear a balldo until their balls fall off and they die

Medieval torturers would love that goddamned thing. Not for personal use, of course.

Thank you. Aaron is first?

His take was typical lolbertarian that 'in principle, I think it is right, but muh government incompetence!'

It has a veneer of respectability, but we can surmise that this opinion is more of a manifestation of Nick's fear of accountability.

Nick's briefs appear now online.

They were filed on time:

So basically “nuh uh!” What a useful inclusion.


Spicy.

Overall, I think they have some point about there being some ambiguity about what video Pomplun watched, but I really hope that doesn’t convince anyone because materially it’s retarded, hundreds of people watched it happen live on Nick’s own stream.

Hrm. If the prosecutor wasn't a fan of balldo before, calling cop a corrupt liar surely will help.
