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

[DSP for president 2032]

If third degree drug possession carries a maximum of 20 years I shudder to think about what first degree merits.

The recently pardoned Silk Road guy is an example. He was part of the local group of non-violent lifers.

Good news: apart from Ross, most of the non-violent lifers that have been freed are Black niggers.

 

[Friend of Dorothy Parker]

I think they'll want both things, but that's why I said he hasn't undergone meaningful treatment. The court won't be fooled by half-assing some group programming

I hope so! I'm sure I saw something from him in the last couple days saying [yeah, consider the source, but] he wouldn't have to do anything further for/after the plea deal in that regard. Let's hope his legal acumen is just as sharp as ever and he's completely wrong.

 

[Melty Butter]

@Potentially Criminal Hey I enjoy your show!

I have a question about the plea. I seem to recall he had 26 grams in his possession. Why wasn't he charged with higher than 3rd degree felony possession? 26 grams is certainly significantly enough for personal supply and sales too.

I wasn't sure if he was being sly in front of the judge when he stated more than 10 grams by omitting the quantity.

Sean is yet to ring in on this but I think the baggies are the issue.

Interestingly, Aaron brought up the baggies on his morning show today when discussing the plea.

Apparently Nick kept the coke in FREEZER Ziplocs. Those are thicker than normal Ziplocs. They probably weigh a few grams. That would have put it just under 25 g of actual coke required for 2nd-degree felony drug possession.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

Yup. If Nick ever gets made fun of for this he has to take it, he can't refute it or he's on the hook for Perjury and the state gets to sue him again.

Them's the brakes. Doesn't matter if he does everything right—stops making excuses, cut out the degeneracy and his enablers from his life, rebuild his family relationships, actually becomes the God-fearing family man he once presented himself as...there's always going to be that chapter of his life with cocaine and wife-swapping, that will always be there, a scar to remember the rest of his days.

 

[TheClappening]

Man, I check out from the Rekieta criminal thread and suddenly Nick's a felon and Potentially Criminal is in the house.

Except he's not ashamed of it in the least. He's only angry he can't still be doing it.

Make sure to keep your Sandwiches safe.

I was thinking best-case scenario, and he STILL is never going to live it down.

He's just lucky they didn't find his stash in the butter bell.

 

[Catgirl Tyranid]

He's just lucky they didn't find his stash in the butter bell.

Nick is an uncultured swine with no taste. He has not come to understand the genius innovation that is the Butter Bell.

 

[Casval Rem Deikun]

That's all nice but what about THE BODYCAM FOOTAGE?

This is the most "middle-class white druggie" thing ever.

And now we wait for the pre sentencing report and probation's recommendations

Just so nobody gets their hopes up, unfortunately that exciting reading material will only appear as a docket entry on MCRO and we will never get to view or purchase the report itself:

Minn. R. Crim. P. 27.03, subd. 1(B)(5).

There is however one silver lining that if Nick self-rakes by contesting the report's recommendations, then there is nothing stopping the state and Nick's counsel from publicly blabbing about the report's contents in filings before the hearing and during the hearing itself:

Minn. R. Pub. Access to Recs. of Jud. Branch 4, subd. 4.

Mercifully, at least as of today's nonce chat, that self-raking invoking the above exception is precisely what Nick intends to do:

That sure puts him in a tough spot: will he FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT for his rights like a man, or will he bend over and take the gubmint's scaly cock up his ass even deeper just for the sole purpose of making sure those damned Karen Farmers don't get to hear any of the gory details of his PSI report aired out in open court?

If there were ever a time for @Null to make sure Hardin files the next video coverage request so bright and early that the judge can't help but issue a reasoned response, and to make sure Gromke or someone else keeps their schedule clear, that time is now. Just imagine Nick's seething on camera as he watches oral arguments casually alluding to the PSI officer's expressed concerns about a history of hot hair tests, missed and failed piss tests, his first round of "outpatient recovery" having been treated like a joke, his associates at his May "business trip" having something of a checkered history, his disgustingly unrepentant stream clips and chats quoted verbatim, etc. etc. etc. Livestreamed footage on April 18th could become kino worthy of a LOTY threepeat if he's truly serious about putting up a fight.

So it wasn't just cocaine was it you rat faced fucker. Not specifically cocaine, but particularly.

That could just mean it wasn't pure, Nick couldn't get uncut powdah

 

[6MillionCoofs]

Weak

While that’s true sometimes if the state is fucking you over eventually it might be worth it to cave. Sometimes the shit they put you through might not be worth what you get in damages

 

[Major]

So Nick loses his law license for this, right? IIRC lawyers can't keep on practicing if they commit a felony.

Lawyers are a cartel who sniff each others anuses, so no. He'd have to rape somebody to lose his licence.

 

[Casval Rem Deikun]

Hope @Null has Hardin file for the video footage once this gets to the point he can and we can get it released.

 

[Major]

If memory serves, that's exactly what happened to Baked Alaska. You absolutely cannot take a plea deal on the basis that you're actually innocent but the state are just being big meanieheads.

This outcome is extremely funny considering how adamant he was that social services and the police were conspiring to frame him for whatever fucking reason. He relentlessly attacked the integrity of these professionals only to recant and admit the coke stash was indeed coke and did indeed belong entirely to him.

Weak.

See, I don't get that. It's the only reason anyone takes plea deals since the prosecution can fuck you even on minor stuff that's it's easier to just plead guilty even if you know you didn't do it. It's kind of how the legal system encourages lying.

 

[Captain Ahab]

No one can. Cocaine is already cut at the source. The only people who see pure cocaine are scientists, people who work in labs that produce it (legal or not) and maybe some high ranking cartel bosses.

Anyone who claims they buy pure cocaine and isn’t on a first name basis with El Chapito is delusional. It doesn’t matter who you are and how rich you are.
