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

[Jex]

He was given leniency and he's going to try to spin it that he was in the right and had to take something to get the evil state off his back. But there's a thing about second chances, you only get them once.

 

[AnOminous]

At a minimum, CPS is "overworked and understaffed" (like any inefficient government bureaucracy). At worst (and imho), they're staffed by the most incompetent, stupid, lazy, hate-filled human beings you can find who don't qualify for TSA work but are still somehow qualified for paid labor.

Even if they start out well-intentioned, the sheer level of scum they have to deal with turns them into hate-filled monsters, much like cops who have to deal with DV cases all day where nothing ever happens to the abusers. It just breaks their minds.

 

[Sneed’s Fuck and Suck]

NICK WON.

 

[Bowl of Ramen]

0% chance. It's a standard thing for a first time offender who clearly had substance abuse problem. We have a similar statute in my state.

Fair. Now, real question: what’s the chance that he’s still possessed by Sonichu? Or has the plea made a sufficient enough sacrifice to the hedgehog blood god to make Nick as boring as Ralph now?

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

Why does Nick LIE!? He was THREATENED WITH HIS KEEDS!



LOL! The form talks about what a waste of time appeal is, and Nick was talking about possibly doing it in he stream:

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.

He got a stay with no judgement entered. He is technically not a felon, and he will have no record if he is able to complete the term of probation that is still TBD in length.

What kind of time does 3rd degree possession entail? I'm just laughing at the idea that Aaron Imholte is looking at doing more time than the Balldo.

It is in the document: 20 years.

I said I 'now' make that claim, that doesn't stop me from changing my mind in the future.

'It was true when I said it! I thought the government was corrupt, incompetent, and threatened me, but now I know it is not true.' Nick has a cope for everything, and I could just see him getting down and deepthroating government boot like this.

Was him facing consequences ever a serious prevailing opinion? Same with Chris when he was in jail. Everyone knows lolcows never face legal consequences in any meaningful way. I mostly saw the few people who invoked Mutt's Law get mocked.

Absolutely. People were talking about how his kids would be taken away, how he would get divorced, how he’d go to literal ass-rape prison, etc. etc.

You can read it for yourself in the thread.

while he didnt get jail time,whish is what we all wanted, let's be honest, he hasnt gotten off without a punishment. i certainly wouldnt want to go through any of this that he had to go through.

No, the new thread arrivals wish hard for that schadenfreude, but early on the regulars (and the lawyers among them) quickly dispelled the notion that Nick was likely to ever get a custodial sentence. When a thread gets popular, you get a lot of attention that skews the perception and sensibility of the thread in the short-term.

Sure. You can retract a plea deal right up until the moment the judge asks you if you still want to accept it and make the pleas you agreed to. That's your last chance to say "you know what? No, I actually don't accept this deal. It's wrong/I'm innocent/they're lying and not holding up their end of the bargain/etc." Signing a plea deal doesn't bind you to it unless you go through with it in court before the judge.

Granted, waiting to the 11th hour to say "nah, I changed my mind" tends to annoy everyone involved, and that rarely ends well for you, but it's still your legal right to do so.

It was more a question because of my understanding is that American courts require you to plead 'guilty' before you get sentenced and hope the judge follows the deal. I thought that you typically lost the right to retract a plea once you made it.

I could be wrong, but I recall Nick talking about his client that embezzled and the judge sentencing her more harshly than the prosecutor suggested in their deal.

 

[Can of Bread]

This is simultaneously the best and worst thing for Nick. If he takes shit seriously, and tries to turn his life around, he can possibly get almost everything back. Even his lost reputation could be more or less recovered through a redemption arc.

Unfortunately, he's a narcissistic addict, so he will take getting off relatively scott free as a divine sign that he's always been totally in the right, leading him to spiral harder.

If he doesn't take this for what it is, his final chance, he's fucked. His drug and alcohol use has deteriorated his health. His local reputation is fucked. He's apparently in a relatively shitty financial situation, made worse with the Montegraph lawsuit sitting over him. The guy's still in a pretty bad situation even without the lawsuit.

I hope he does a turn-about on this before he ends up living in metal shack in Mexico or worse, but I've seen enough lolcows get all kinds of chances and continue to fuck up their life.

2025 is the year Rekieta makes a comeback like Trump

[Fake Steve Franssen]

State dismisses 34-CR-24-342 against Kayla Rekieta and case against April Imholte

Nick got a sweet ass deal to fall on his sword a bit and everyone walks away scott free barring any further issues with CPS.

This is the first time Nick has ever gotten a woman off.

It's a standard thing for a first time offender who clearly had substance abuse problem. We have a similar statute in my state.

Under what circumstances could Rekieta have pled guilty to just a misdemeanor?

 

[AnOminous]

I could be wrong, but I recall Nick talking about his client that embezzled and the judge sentencing her more harshly than the prosecutor suggested in their deal.

It took a lawyer as bad as Nick to get that kind of result. He was so retarded he attempted to get no custodial sentence at all, basically spitting in the face of the judge.

Too bad he gets a better result for himself than he ever got for his unfortunate, beleaguered clients.

 

[ChromaQuack]

Amazing, now he will be able to get right back on track with cooking his brain with infinity drugs and collecting STIs like they're pokemon. No delays, no prison, no breaks on the tard train.

: choo choo kiwifags, next stop galaxy station.

It's here....
The petition for the plea.

He walked through 3 football fields worth of retardation so vile i dont even wanna imagine it and came out cucked on the other side.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

The hell are you talking about? Even when he did stream he was making like $40 a night sometimes. His schizo drunk rants aren't going to make any kind of living. It will be hobby income at best. He will need to almost fully rely on his family's money.

Are you really still sweeping for him?

No, I’m saying his streaming was rare as fuck. And he’d have to build back up from the ground up. But he isn’t as screwed as people think. Especially now.

What does he have to talk about other than his insatiable thirst for dick? Who even wants to watch that?

 

[Balldo's Gate]

He has a statutory stay of adjudication. He has pleaded guilty. He is not found guilty. He is not a convicted felon.

https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/152.18 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.

It's not going to end in April for him. The statute explicitly states that the court must ("shall") place him on probation "for a period". In principle, the judge could then discharge him prematurely immediately or almost immediately, but this isn't a plausible outcome.

Given the severity of the offense Rekieta pleaded out to, the probation can be expected to be a substantial period of supervised probation, which may vary depending on the results of the PSI. He could be given unsupervised probation where he's simply told to stay out of trouble for a period, but this is unlikely as he's pleaded guilty to the most serious charge that falls under the statute.

None. And the doc posted shows the adjudication as stayed - which means, as @Null pointed out, that if the court accepts the plea as described in the doc and Nick meets whatever requirements for x period of time, he does not have a conviction, either.

I view the prospects of Rekieta completing any substantial period of probation without any issues as very limited.

Rekieta paid thousands of dollars to avoid monitoring as part of as a conditional release at the same time as his house was entering foreclosure. That's how much he wanted to avoid monitoring. He viewed it as more important than keeping his family home.

The way he handled his CHIPS case is not promising for his prospects of successfully navigating probation. Rekieta refused to allow county staff to examine all rooms of his home. At the time Keanu started talking to April again she revealed that Nick had either missed or was late to a drug test, which is even worse.

The question mark is how willing they are in Kandiyohi County to violate him and how quick they are to revoke the stay of adjudication following violation(s).

 

[Ah ha']

Well there it is.

So now that this has passed, when do you think he will start streaming asking for rehab money and talking about how hard it was to get clean?

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

Now that this trial is behind him he's learned his lesson. He will embrace sobriety, get his family back together, re-establish his law practice, and go back to doing informative and engaging lawstreams. Years later, he'll look back at this and laugh and say, "what was i thinking? Boy, was I a real knucklehead" like as if he was commenting on the haircut he had for his senior photo in his high school yearbook.

Yep.

 

[Terrifik]

down two issues left which is arron & his case & body cam.

Somebody post that "life doesn't work out how you want it, kiwifags" gif please.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined.

Nah he will learn nothing, but it does not change that when it was time to be a real gansta ass nigga, he bent the knee.

 

[6MillionCoofs]

Wouldn’t it be wild if the police and legal arms of county were corrupt and involved in an illegal conspiracy all along!

Honestly Rackets telling the truth because he was in on it and Barnes being right but not for the reasons he thinks would be amusing.
