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

[Male Idiot]

The recently pardoned Silk Road guy is an example. He was part of the local group of non-violent lifers.
View attachment 6912686
Good news: apart from Ross, most of the non-violent lifers that have been freed are Black niggers.

I am an autist, but what exactly is a non-violent lifer beside selling drugs? Large scale fraud or tax evasion? I assume all the big ones like trafficking, murder, terrorism count as violent.

 

[Michael Wade]

Do we have a thread for interesting court cases overall or do I have to get my ace attorney fix the hard way?

 

[isalaide]

Can't speak for Minnesota, but this is getting off pretty lightly here. To be fair we aren't allowed to do plea deals. The fact there's no child neglect charge of any description, despite the kids being removed and the little one's positive test is... well, it's disappointing. In any case the family proceedings are separate. Always looks better if you've cough cough taken responsibility for your substance use though, and mother still has a clean criminal record. Makes sense for only one of you to pick up a conviction if that option is on the table.

 

[Kandinsky]

Rekieta cucked the content a

If you’re a first time offender with no past criminal record then the courts will likely try and rehabilitate you with a diversion program. Our jails are full and any time we can turn someone away from there the State benefits.

This means that Rekieta will likely be on probation for a couple years and may have to submit to drug testing during that time and surprise inspections by a parole officer. This is to make sure it was a one time lapse in judgement and not a clear pattern of behavior.

If he gets convicted of another drug crime during his probation period then usually the full sentence that was in abeyance will drop on his shoulders.

It would be a probation officer, not a parole officer.

 

[McSneaks]

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

Apparently they sniff more than that. Maybe that's where they keep the coke?

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

No shit LOL. The average purity of seized bricks in 2023 (by the US) was roughly 80%. That's what the TOP GUY IN THE US is getting. The AVERAGE on the street is like 54% which goes down as low as like 12.

Literally no one who has ever bought coke outside of Columbia itself has ever done "pure" (and even "pure" is like, 98%

 

[Cane Skretteburg]

that’s how plea deals usually work, yes.

Rekietafags will see a transcript of Nick literally admitting his guilt twice in a court of law and it will still not be satisfying to them. I don’t think they’ll be satisfied until he goes to each of their houses, knocks on the door, and personally apologizes to each of them for doing drugs and not taking care of his kids.

Truly feminine behavior.

As opposed to White niggers?

I found Sargon's KF account.

Well nothing inspires confidence like being able to say you’ve successfully pled guilty to lesser charges in your own criminal cases… maybe this is the start of a new Golden Age of Balldo

I hope family court sets out a safety plan that fucks Nick over. Like restricting his custody of his kids so he can only go back to the marital home for visitation and otherwise needs to go live in a divorced dadcore apt.

 

[Trans Randy]

*dramatic sigh* Kiwifags once again pretending he said things he never did.

He never said he was innocent of doing cocaine, Kiwi childs.
He merely said the Kandyohi County Police Department was involved in a deep conspiracy to sprinkle cocaine on his prepubescent daughter's hair in order to unlawfully imprison him, a dangerous local political dissident.

That doesn't mean he wasn't also coincidentally snorting some cool epic cocaine like the cool epic dude who owns a Mustang he is.

 

[Two by Four]

I am an autist, but what exactly is a non-violent lifer beside selling drugs? Large scale fraud or tax evasion? I assume all the big ones like trafficking, murder, terrorism count as violent.

Our beloved Silk Road founder Lars Ulbricht copped _two_ whole life sentences (plus forty years!) for non-violent crimes.

In short; drugs, fraud, theft, or money laundering would be the main ones, assuming there's a lot involved. I imagine espionage and treason would get you life too, assuming you didn't get disappeared or suicided before your trial.

Also according to AI search slop, habitual offenders may get a life term even if their most recent offense was non–violent? I guess if Darren the Big Raper is somehow out free despite 10 prior convictions for mega-rape but then gets pulled up on stealing a car, he might get life?

 

[PeachDream]

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.

The idea that something like 98% of federal cases dont end up giving the accused their right to trial by jury is messed up itself.

But the state going extra hard and making people promise they arent pleaing out under coercion, a state that itself is forced under threat of further imprisonment is pretty fucked up.

A guilty plea should just be a single box you check to move your trial along, it shouldnt be equivilated to moral or factual admission of anything.

 

[Melty Butter]

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:

Color me curious. Here's what the PSI will cover in MN. It's dry as hell:

If I'm honest with myself, Nick can "pass" almost all of these with flying colors. I can't even find anything to snark or joke about.

His financial statements will look rough but hardly damning considering the average person pleading to 3rd-degree drug possession. He can even demonstrate that he's tried to stay gainfully employed despite his well-publicized financial issues (foreclosure). He's streamed on YT 16 times since the arrest and at least a dozen times on Locals.

Meanwhile, for the qualitative reports, he likely has people who will attest to his presence at kids' events (speech tournaments, theater performances, dance recitals) and shuttling the kids around. He even taught at the homeschool coop. Finally, he's given to many charities including the Church that reported him, Minnesota Zoo, and Make-A-Wish.

So, public or not, I predict the report will be very favorable.

ETA: I just looked at the actual form. The dude needs to pay off his traffic violations asap.
ETAII: Okay, this is funny (page 47 of the form):

 

[Drive-By Comment]

Soo if he in his next stream absolutely denies all guilt, will the judge call him to pop by at the office?

 

[del_toid]

If memory serves, that's exactly what happened to Baked Alaska

Baked said straight to the judges face that he didn't believe he was guilty, and that he was only pleading guilty because his lawyer told him to.

 

[not william stenchever]

Now that Colombia is Trump's little bitch maybe he can make them share the good bam bam.

 

[Useful_Mistake]

I'm confused, isn't this the normal boiler plate language for plea deals? I've heard them numerous times, and I've heard when they go wrong. If you try to minimize your involvement or imply that something extraneous is happening, the judge or the state is likely to deny it. You basically have to say in no uncertain terms that you are guilty and should go fuck yourself before the state.

You needn't to seriously reply to fun-posts. The contrast between that post and how Nick acted before the transcript was released was funny.

No.
If you're going to plead guilty, you plead guilty. These guilty pleas are generally much much less punitive than the original charges brought against someone. The courts don't want to drag everyone to trial because it would be prohibitively expensive and for many open and shut cases, it's unnecessary.

If you don't want to plead guilty, there's a plea for that. It's called nolo contendere, or, no contest. It's essentially what you are describing. You basically state that you do not admit or deny the charges, but accept the penalties. Usually these have to be agreed upon beforehand though and they may not get as sweet of a deal as a guilty plea gets.

While on the face it does seem unfair and coercive to have so many cases go to guilty pleas, we don't need to roll an entire jury because Shaquanda wanted those shoes from Target, and she should admit to her bullshit niggerish behavior for stealing them if she wants her 120 day sentence reduced to probation with time served.

Those materials are all federal and would not be used in Nick's case. State PSI processes are relatively ad hoc varying from county to county with very little information online, but a another county's intake questionnaire is attached as a representative sample to compare to the federal forms.

Cartel is such an ugly word. We are a guild, thank you very much.

If you don't want to plead guilty, and don't want any trial to be a complete waste of everyone's time and resources, don't immediately confess to the police that you did it! Very few people figure this out.

Not all DA's offices will allow NC pleas.

So why should the deal be any worse? They are still making it easier for the court by waiving their trial all the same.
