no way our justice system is that fucking retarded.
Sorry, but way.
Why do they ask him what his level of education is at the beginning of his plea document? Can't see how that's relevant
It's relevant to his capacity to enter a plea.
 
So he’s rolling over and not even fighting it? Just straight up admitting to being a drug fiend?
I just can’t get my head around it because it was obviously Aaron who planted those drugs, or maybe even the cops, but it definitely wasn’t Nick.

And now he just up and says it was him all along? What the fuck man, how could he lie to us like that?

It's relevant to make sure the defendant can literally read and understand what he's signing. Nick's in the part of the justice system usually reserved for illiterate "lunchtime rowdies" now.

Basically they want to know if he was in tard classes riding the short bus all his life because that's what he's acting like.
 
This is a fairly standard deal for first-time offenders, per other practising lawyers on YT. They suspend the prosecution before they 'officially' enter a record of his guilt, and as long as he follows the deals provisions, they never make it part of the record and it simply expires. He is not guilty until they officially find him so and make it part of the record.

In more graphic terms, they made the agreement for Nick to basically hand them a loaded gun hold it to his head until they are satisfied that he has done his part.



How much better could it really have gotten? They drop misdemeanours and a grade off the top charge.

I think I heard Nate or Kurt say that 2nd degree possession was not eligible for diversion, but I am not sure. It does not sound like much of a win unless the State had to be browbeaten into letting the women get off? I would speculate that the only real improvement would have been letting the women go if Nick took responsibility and he dithered for months about actually doing that to get the basic deal they offer everyone. This is just speculation, but I would believe Nick would make the routine process a pain and half.
Yes, 2nd degree does not fall in that 1st time drug charge diversion provision. 3rd and 4th make it a possibility; 5th makes it a requirement.

It's designed to provide leniency for someone with no record getting caught with a small moderate amount of [among other things] coke. It's a W not only to get it down to 3rd but also to be then put into the diversion program, have the other charges dropped, and have 2 other people's charges dropped. Imo it's inappropriate for his situation, but that is the nature of plea agreements.

Is the 2 years a standard term length, or based on some MN law?

I also wonder at Nick's 25 year maximum sentence and the seeming conflict with sentencing guidelines in MN for drug crimes. If I read the chart correctly, Nick's reduction in grade of crime dropped his presumptive sentence under 2 years and is presumptive for a stay of sentence. Where did 25 years come from?

View attachment 6903705
It is technically the highest possible sentence for a 2nd degree felony drug possession. Guidelines bring that way way down, esp with no criminal history, but if you had 10 priors, aggravating conditions 25 years could theoretically be on the table with upward departure from Guidelines rationale.


at least he lost his homes lmao.
He sold one house and the sale price for that > mortgage amount due on the other, so per him he paid off the mortgage - which would mean he owns it free and clear (based on what we know).


All I care about is the welfare of this faggot's kids at this point. Did the court decide what will happen to the child found with cocaine in its system? Any updates on that? That cannot just be hand waved away, I'm sorry, there's no way our justice system is that fucking retarded. I refuse to believe it.
Per Nick, children are back in the home. And the endangerment/ neglect charges to him and Kayla are to be dropped per the plea agreement.
Why do they ask him what his level of education is at the beginning of his plea document? Can't see how that's relevant
It goes to capacity to understand charges and what he's agreeing to. If someone puts down 3rd grade or 8th grade, the Court is going to ask more questions about their understanding of what they're giving up and all the impacts of the plea.

It's standard.
 
Jeez, the scumbag basically got away with everything.

Massive L for people who care about accountability and who care about getting those kids away from him.
He was never going to permanently lose his kids unless he got arrested on new charges. Urban crackheads don't lose their kids after doing way worse shit than ever went on in the Balldo Bunker.

But yes, he effectively did get away with everything. The only thing that was going to possibly get Nick to change his disgusting lifestyle was having to tote around the stigma of being a convicted felon and child abuser. But now the latter isn't happening and the former will only happen if he monumentally fucks up in the next few months. It's stunningly bad and it's really no wonder how there's so much crime and misery out there when the average offender is treated like this. Nick is especially egregious because he dove headfirst into this sick lifestyle. Even the CPS agents were amazed that they were visiting someone of his wealth and social background.

Nothing. My theory is that something about that line of prosecution was deemed weak from the get-go. Maybe there was a chain of custody issue. Maybe they were cowed into submission by Nick's threat to hire all these random expert witnesses to jack up the cost of prosecuting him for it. But what we do know is that until Nick releases evidence proving otherwise, he or Kayla fed cocaine to his 8 year old daughter.
 
Its not that the line of prosecution was weak, its that the state isn't going to go all hard ass on a first time perpetrator with no kind of violent crime committed.

The Diversion program is leniency, but its the kind of leniency most people want to see with drug addicts because we generally don't hold them to the same level of culpability.

Nick didn't get a particularly great or awful deal here, he got what is probably about standard and he took it because if they had gone to trial he was dead to rights.

Its just dragging every case to trial for maximum punishment just isn't worth it.

He’s still a retarded junkie addict, he’ll piss everything away
 
Wow. I don't know whose dick he sucked to get that deal, but he did slurp some dick. I guess the real question now is, what about the footage?
Did he have a criminal record before this happened? I believe that is a pretty typical deal for a first offense (if that's the case here).

There's the hope that people can clean up their act and get better, and it's a totally different situation to a violent crime where there are victims. Mostly these type of offenses are victimless crimes. That's not exactly the situation here, the kids can be thought of as the victims in cases like this. Though it's really not in anyone's best interest to take kids away from parents or do anything that's going to put a lot of unnecessary stress on them by severely punishing their parents. If there's a pattern of horrible behavior, that's of course a different story.

so if he said 'none' he wouldn't be able to plea?
 
I have not really paid attention to this trial since my disgust peaked at "children testing positive for drugs", but since he's seemingly getting off free and clear, what the hell now?
Does he get the kids back? Anything at all to prevent the coke-fueled hedonism? Perhaps a court ordered forced conversion to mormonism? his channel seems to still be going but he struggles to hit 900.
 
I told you all Nick would win and humble you. Bow down....
I don’t even know about that. We still have years ahead of self-destruction, self-flagellation and white trash stupidity from Nick to laugh at. The only true losers are his poor kids.

I’m especially worried for that 16 year old kid considering he had to raise his siblings and was the most exposed to his parents’ sick fuckery.

Brother, I don’t know if you’re reading this but I hope you get the support and help you need and someday have a healthy loving family of your own

He lost a house. He lost most of his audience. His family will never trust him again. Everyone in his life will wonder if he's relapsing the moment he's five minutes late to something, basically forever. Nick thinking he won is a massive cope.
