This is the important part, I think:

View attachment 6899715

I have been told by my attorney and understand:
a. That my attorney discussed this case with one of the prosecuting attorneys and that my attorney and the prosecuting attorney agreed that if I entered a plea of guilty, the prosecutor will do the following: (Give substance of the agreement)

  • Plead guilty to amended charge of drug possession in the third degree
  • Statutory stay of adjudication pursuant to Minn. Stat. §152.18
  • Remaining terms of the sentence at Court’s discretion
  • State drops all other charges.
  • State dismisses 34-CR-21-342 against Kayla Rekieta and case against April Imholte
Sorry we couldn't go out for nachos and drinks for this one, kiwibros 😢

We all knew the outcome though. Suffah Nick! Bish!
 
He has a statutory stay of adjudication. He has pleaded guilty. He is not found guilty. He is not a convicted felon.

Deferring prosecution for certain first time drug offenders.... (c) In granting relief under this section, the court shall, without entering a judgment of guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to exceed the maximum sentence provided for the violation.

So he can be put on a stay of adjudication for up to 20 years. His case is over now. The sentencing hearing is very strange and it may actually be the complete termination of his stay of adjudication, meaning if he can last until April without getting into legal trouble again, he has no legal issues.

So this is very favorable to him if I'm reading it right.

So no Bodycam footage?

Kiwibros, the Balldo has triumphed. 😭
 
3rd degree Felony - which means they refused to downgrade it any further and his lawyer wasn't willing to bank on a much worse outcome in a trial.

This isn't no win for Nick. He is a felon and it being a 3rd degree felony charge shouldn't be construed as a slap on the wrist - it isn't. This caries consequence and it also carries with it SEVERE consequences if he is ever caught again.

He can come clean about the safe now.
 
There is such a thing as a best interest plea (alford plea). You accept guilty but still proclaim innocence. I am too lazy to see if thats what he filed.

First offender stuff will maybe give him gun and voting rights back. Most states let the felony slide off after probation and fines are paid.
MN lets felons vote once they aren't incarcerated.
