Whatever incredibly damning information Keanu/Aaron/April have over Nick they still refuse to drop for whatever stupid fucking reason, it sounds like it's related to potentially criminal (lmao) behavior/actions that includes the children. I don't know if there's legal liability for keeping this shit secret but I hope everyone but the children suffer for it because all the adults in the situation fucking suck.

(My bold)

I fear the same and it's enraging.

If Keanu is trying to protect April's complicity in dosing Nick's kid, she's retarded, immoral, and violating basic human decency. (Not to mention a ridiculous way to run her channel. JUST SPILL, Keanu! Your live views will jump to at least 100. That's a 50% improvement.)

Worse, April may have been dosing the kid herself. That's seldom discussed but perfectly plausible. She was probably serving the kids food in whatever ass backward "nannying" she was doing. Or she needed a drug buddy when Nick was driving around the kids and Kayla was zonked out.

If so, one would think that either Kayla or Nick would sell out April to get the third charge dismissed... EXCEPT April probably has a ton of dirt on them and/or it legally wouldn't matter because it all happened in their home.

Meanwhile, April's going to walk... Is that why Keanu is keeping April's secrets?

All of this is disgusting.

(Fwiw, I don't believe Aaron would have held onto that information. Aaron was shocked and horrified when the MNPublicRecords docs came out.)

 

[Watching Rekieta]

Aaron is fucking retarded if he doesn't file an ethics complaint against Balldo. This is such a blatant violation of legal ethics it's disbarrable.

I understand that attorney-client privilege is Aaron's privilege to assert but can his lawyer file the complaint as well? Doesn't Aaron's lawyer have an expectation of privacy? Nick's actions bring disrepute to the profession, no?

Also, can Aaron's attorney flag it to the court as well as bar? Nick has a history of questionable, unethical behavior specifically around his wife (the "victim" in Aaron's case). He told the court he needed to "speak to his client" when he was being held. He wasn't candid with the court and didn't explain his "client" was his wife/co-defendant in the same with unwaivable conflict. The prosecutor was forced to explain this deception. It's like he knows all the rules but has such huge contempt for the justice system that he breaks them to get unfair advantages in every case that affects him.

Is that not "contempt of court?"

 

[Strix454]

If Keanu is trying to protect April's complicity in dosing Nick's kid, she's retarded, immoral, and violating basic human decency.

She is an onlyfans whore married to a decomposing old man. Her interactions with April have always been strange and overtly exploitative of April. If April had any sense, she would have stopped talking to Keanu months ago.

Obviously Mondry's facts aren't on-point

You mentioned and referred back to the case. It wasn't Mondry's facts I was pointing to, but its holdings. The Guidelines commentary (as noted in Mondry but not created by or as a result of it) are what they are.

For that reason Stearns County has no incentive to wait unless they know there is still ongoing misconduct that they prefer to monitor until after probation begins

Right. If the hacking/access stuff is chargeable, there's no reason not to pursue it. Committing another crime while on probation just gets you the possibility of custodial status add-ons to the sentencing calculation for any of those new crimes. If he's already committed a crime (accessing Aaron's stuff), no sentencing calculation reason not to pursue it once (highly unlikely it would wrap before current sentencing, and even if it did, as I said, then it would count toward his drug etc sentencing calc) he's on the way to sentencing for his current stuff, if you're looking for having points added to the presumptive. Any additional crimes committed during probation or other qualifying custodial status can be pursued separately in due course.

But yes, we're not disagreeing. Musing over sentencing points or timing is mainly an exercise.

A lawyer bringing a bar complaint might have more credibility.

Not only can he, generally speaking attorneys are required to report it to the bar when they learn of another attorney's unethical conduct:

Rule 8.3 Reporting Professional Misconduct
(a) A lawyer who knows that another lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question as to that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, shall inform the appropriate professional authority.

Minn. R. Prof. Cond. 8.3(a).

The only catch in this instance is that the duty to report is subordinate to the duty of confidentiality with regard to his own client, which would be implicated here since Nick's misconduct overlaps to some extent with the subject of Aaron's representation in the revenge porn case:

(c) This rule does not require disclosure of information that Rule 1.6 requires or allows a lawyer to keep confidential...

Minn. R. Prof. Cond. 8.3(c).

Fortunately, that conflict is easily waivable:

Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information
(a) Except when permitted under paragraph (b), a lawyer shall not knowingly reveal information relating to the representation of a client.
(b) A lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client if:
(1) the client gives informed consent;

Minn. R. Prof. Cond. 1.6(b)(1).

Aaron had damned well better waive as soon as his own case is resolved and have his lawyer simply mail the bar a three-foot-thick stack of paper consisting of this thread with a little bow on top. Their work is already done.

 

[Watching Rekieta]

If the hacking/access stuff is chargeable, there's no reason not to pursue it.

Not from Nick's timeline.

But wouldn't Aaron's charges influence it? Justice can't be that blind. Kayla is still the victim and Nick is a witness. I would think things would get sticky if the prosecutor announced charges against the victims husband while they want her cooperation. They may not need to wait legally but I would think justice would be better served if Aaron's revenge porn is completely wrapped up before, and independent of, the hacking case.

Clean scenario:
1. Aaron is tried guilty/acquitted or plea bargain on revenge porn. No hacking brought up before or influencing decision.

Lot's of ugly scenarios:
1. Prosecutor want Aaron to give them his computer/phone to look for hacking while revenge porn charges pending. Defense atty gets stipulations, victim not happy.
or
2. Prosecutors charge Nick w/ hacking Aarons computer. Still want Kayla and Nick as victim/witnesses to take stand against Aaron. Just like rehab, Nick would fuck over justice for his wife to avoid taking the stand w/ cross-examination. Even with immunity and stipulations he'd tantrum out a "NO!!!".
or
3. Prosecutors dismiss or reduce Aaron's charges based on Nicks actions and Aaron's cooperation. Victim is innocent and appears shafted as consequences for revenge porn would be reduced through no fault of victim.

IANAL so these scenarios aren't refined with real world experience. It seems prosecutors could avoid some issues/criticism by resolving and firewalling the revenge porn case completely before the hacking case. Kayla should expect and receive justice even if justice is acquittal or plea bargain untainted with Nick's shitbird antics. Aaron should expect and receive justice too - no horsetrading with this. Nick's justice should involve lots of supervision and sobriety.

 

[TrainWreckWatcher]

Yes, the son was mentioned in the CHIPS case transcript (which I am too lazy to go looking for where exactly) as part of the "support structure" to help Nick and Kayla stay clean.

It is kind of upsetting that the government would even accept a notion like that or treat these people as serious.
"Yeah our 17 year old is gonna be support to keep us clean."
You want to put the burden of you not being a fuckup on your SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD SON?

Death penalty.

I'd settle for a hard five at somewhere fun, like MCCC, Leavenworth, Q East. Just a few off the top of my head. Oh, can't forget Beaumont. Or Orleans Parish, a special mention for its rampant booty snatching these last few years. I think that would satisfy my moral outrage.

Once he's deemed competent, the most fitting punishment I could possibly think of is for Nick to be made the cellmate of Daniel Larson. Danny being the only person more delusional and too stupid to ever buy into anything Nick says, it would be 24/7 torture to be stuck with someone he could never convince to care about what he has to say.

What does justice have to do with it? "Prosecutorial discretion" is the only excuse the state needs to let Aaron off, and even if they want to add more excuses just because this case got some press coverage the Balldoguard went out of their way to direct press attention to this case, it's a common enough excuse to say that upon further investigation this case had "evidence problems," namely the fact that every would-be witness is an obnoxious slob who will never resonate with a central Minnesota jury. Nick's credibility is already so decimated that the state dare not even call him as a witness (so much so that the defense even might even consider calling him if the state doesn't), interviews will have already ascertained that Kayla on the stand would be catatonic at worst or at best a delicate flower sure to wilt under the pressure of cross-examination about any hail-Mary attempt at an exhibitionism/consent defense, we've all seen enough of Keanu to expect jurors to demand the death penalty for whatever prosecutor subjected them to hearing her speak at all, and Geno? Fucking Geno?

Funny story about that, he just joined Keanu in this week's annoying New Jerseyite press tour with another of many dabbleverse-stream appearances sure to be used on cross-examination, in which he had some choice words about the revenge porn case being a sham attributable to "Nick Rekieta trying to discredit Aaron as a witness," that Nick apparently tried pressuring him through Keanu to "lie for people" that they "owe nothing to," that he believes the sending of the lewd never really "meant anything" and "never was" about "revenge" (i.e. he bolsters reasonable doubt as to felony-level intent to harass), that he's "never going out there" to voluntarily take the stand "wherever the fuck it is" (which leaves only compulsory process through interstate compacts that can be a huge pain in the ass for the prosecution), and in the end he believes "it went nowhere" which is an odd thing to say when it went to filed charges, unless what he means is that a reduction or dismissal is already inbound. Just try to suffer through this sneak preview of how this star witness' cross-examination would go and say with a straight face that any prosecutor worth his/her salt would want to put this complete and utter clownshow in front of a jury:

With a cast of characters like that the felony's dead and the gross misdemeanor may well be. The only question is when: before Nick licks the boot without yet knowing whether he at least got the satisfaction of taking his ex-boyfriend down with him, or after Nick licks the boot and it's too late to change his mind? He really should just cancel the plea deal and FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT long enough to see how Aaron's case turned out first.

 

[Brian Oblivion]

I personally don't think that nick will be directly disbarred, but rather that the hoops he will have to jump through to get through his inevitable disciplinary suspension from his criminal case(s) will be too psychologically difficult for him to overcome. The fact that he has already been dinged for failing to do his CLE (i.e. he is already in trouble before his real punishments have even come down the pipeline) is kind of proof positive of this in my opinion.

If the process was as simple as sending an email he won't do it because he's lazy and would rather leech off his family

April, I know there's a snowballs chance in hell of you seeing this but I have some suggestions. Take the money null is offering for you signing the body cam release, use it to start your show. Talk to null about setting that up, check out his podcast, Mad at the Internet. He could maybe promote your show, have you on or vice versa. Your first EP could be a commentary over the footage. Nick is your Depp trial. The amount of money and eyes youd get on your show would be huge, maybe life-changing. You have an inbuilt audience. People are interested. Have you seen those women gossip YouTube channels? That unironically could be you. Think about your future.

 

[Watching Rekieta]

What does justice have to do with it?

Justice and liberty are the fundamental foundation of US society. Prosecutorial discretion exists to serve the interests of justice and liberty. It's not a self-serving power and the interest of justice should be at the core of prosecutorial decision making..

"Justice" doesn't mean the victim just gets what they want. Justice in this case could mean Aaron is acquitted. Or convicted. Or a plea bargain. What would be questionable is tying the outcome of the revenge porn case to the hacking case. Nothing Nick did in the hacking case diminishes or enhances what Aaron did in the revenge porn case. Kayla isn't more or less of a victim because of what Nick did in the hacking case. Aaron isn't more or less of a victim in the hacking case because of what he did in the revenge porn case.

Agreed, lawyers very rarely get disbarred in a state like Minnesota unless they do something egregious. Oftentimes if there are addiction issues they’ll suspend the lawyer for 6 months or a year, but on the condition that the lawyer attends rehab and pays any court costs/judgments (looking at you Monty) before reapplying, so for someone like Nick it would basically be constructive disbarment. It would be almost as bad as parole, and at least as invasive. On the other hand, the computer thing is a big deal and implicates a lot of the rules of professional responsibility, so I think he has a better chance than most at being officially disbarred. Making the profession look bad is a violation in itself. And agreed, the CLE failure and unpaid traffic tickets are not going to have a favorable effect on the disciplinary investigator. At this point I would also be surprised if Nick actually responded/cooperated with a disciplinary investigation, and after a certain amount of that they’d just yank his license.

April, it's a fair point. Honestly, I have critiques of you that are entirely based on things I see and hear, and they may be well off the mark. Having your own show--and you have experience running a show don't you?--would let you not only 'correct the record' but might well let you clean the slate. And you could have conversations no one else is having. And as Chug said above, people are interested, there is clearly a market for it. I can see you hosting others on your show, interviewing from your OG position as veteran of the balldo wars. Do I want to see that video? Yes I do, and you're the best option for that. No hidden agenda here. But I do agree with Chug that I think you can use this all to turn the page to new and probably better days. I can't say I have any idea what it's like to be you, this is a fairly whack situation, but I think I can say I would do it if I were you.
