I would think the prosecutor had to know about the arrests beforehand.
They probably did, but I don't think they looked
too hard into it until Aaron's attorney dropped all those docs.
Look, here's the thing: As a society we say "there's no such thing as a perfect victim," and that's true. But there's often a disconnect between the politically correct thing to say, and human psychology. There are
absolutely such things as hateable victims. Or people that are only victims in the technical sense. I think if Kayla or Nick got up on that stand, after all that's happened, the jury would have ended up hating them. I think the prosecution came to that conclusion too.
Should Aaron have done what he did? No. He did a cringe dudebro thing, two wrongs don't make a right, and blah blah blah...
However, Kayla is a whore. She's a cokehead, an adulterer, and a unfit mother. It is exceeding difficult for me to have any sympathy for her here. To say nothing of Nick. There are actual victims of revenge pornography out there that you can feel sympathy for... and then there's Kayla.
Kayla, in particular, should count her lucky stars the drug possession and child neglect charges against her are gonna be dropped.
Neither her, nor Nick, deserve a pound of flesh from Aaron after all that's happened.
Could not have happened to a nicer couple.
