Aaron's team can as well. I'm not sure if there is any paperwork out there on how subpoenaed Nick.
There's nothing on MCRO so far, but if
April's subpoena is anything to go by with issuance on February 10th, service on February 13th, and filing by the prosecutor on February 18th, some time lag is to be expected while they await return of a different county's service affidavit. Nick's and Kayla's should be popping up within the next week.
On a related note, since it has now been a full week since the Minnesota judge issued the certificates on February 11th for filing in a New York court as the next step, it seemed about time to check
New York's MCRO equivalent out of morbid curiosity as to how Stearns County prosecutors would go about the procedural particulars through locally licensed counsel. Surprisingly, as of today there's
still not a peep over there:
They may want to get their shit filed soon lest Aaron's attorney start wondering if the Minnesota filings were just a bluff in the course of plea negotiation brinkmanship going on lately. One thought at first was that perhaps the prosecutor used the Minnesota certificates as a mere shot across the bow to then contact the Biscontes and finally scare them into enough toothless assurances of voluntary compliance to feel
somewhat safe in forgoing the absolutely critical New York filings. However, such a lazy gambit would appear unsuccessful after watching the Biscontes' cringeworthy interview clipped earlier today, where a retired judge relied on the Biscontes' very poor description of the fact pattern and case type when he recommended that they blow this whole thing off, and they sure as hell sounded inclined to go along with that advice:
As an aside, the New York searches appeared to format the names correctly since they did pull up a mildly amusing case where some
C-list actor sued Flat Broke Geno™ in his capacity as a bartender (i.e. janitor when "cleaning up" at closing time) as he struggled to make ends meet despite already working for Compound Media at the time, because he allegedly was negligent in failing to cut off some hammered bar patron who assaulted said actor, making him the unfortunate pass-through to get the bar on the hook for
respondeat superior liability. There's a shitload of PDFs on the
court website for anyone curious about the tortured procedural history spanning four years until eventual dismissal, but two aspects in particular can add some insight on things to come in
State Jilted Gay Lover ex rel Feminazi v. Imholte.
First, there is an amusing transcript of Geno's lengthy deposition that reveals quite a bit about his background and the back-and-forth with the plaintiff's ambulance chaser that can serve as something of a sneak preview into how Geno would fare as a key witness today. It's too long to read cover to cover at the moment but even a cursory skim makes him sound like a colossal pain in the ass, and there are so many instances of "I don't recall," "no recollection," etc. that he almost makes Hilary Clinton look forthright by comparison. And to any extent that he sounds more coherent in the transcript than what we're used to from his livestreams, bear in mind that it was almost a decade ago with untold billions of brain cells burned off by hard liquor and cocaine between then and now, so his testimony could only be expected to go
worse than what you're reading. Anyway the whole thing's spoilered here for more intrepid souls to peruse and highlight later:
Heh:
Secondly and more importantly for present purposes, several filings reflect that historically Geno's itinerant lifestyle has made it a tremendous pain in the ass to even get him personally served with papers in the first place. So even though Minnesota's and New York's reciprocal statutes nominally
could get him on the hook, as a practical matter the as-yet-unfiled Uniform Act proceeding in New York being more or less in the nature of a civil action, with ordinary due process rights to notice and hearing like any other, could ultimately still leave the prosecutors stuck with process servers' usual game of cat-and-mouse no different from GoodLawgic struggling to collect on junk debts to no avail:
Perhaps it was improvident for Nick to go to all the trouble of a police report legally declaring himself a cuck only to watch the whole house of cards fall asunder just because he pinned all his hopes on one penniless alcoholic dago who can simply look through the peephole on his front door and decide not to talk to strangers. Oopsies!
