I'm one of those weirdos who will occasionally put on bodycam footage and police interviews in the background while I work. Sometimes they ask "are you sure you don't want a lawyer present?" before questioning. I'm not a lawyer or a cop I don't know why. But they do.
They do that fairly often. Usually they've Mirandized them already off-camera (at least according to the affidavit they file narrating the arrest) but want it on the record in an undeniable way, too. (Or off-tape but video is becoming increasingly common instead of just the audio tapes they used to use all the time.)
That said, I still find Aaron's recounting of events questionable. First because it's Aaron and second because the details, as usual, are self-serving and while Aaron doesn't have the same "he's lying if his mouth is moving and there isn't a dick in it" characteristic of Cuckieta, he does tend to slant things in his favor.
So I think it happened. I don't necessarily trust him on the details.
The lawyer advising that he doesn't need to be there is harder to believe but as this saga has taught us some lawyers are morons.
This is the one I find really questionable. I'm not going to insist this could never possibly happen, but either the lawyer and/or Aaron knew something that made them supremely confident this was going to end up the way it did (and Aaron seemed actually surprised by it so I do not think that), or the lawyer was an idiot. But more likely for some reason Aaron embellished this detail.
The only reason I even give it an iota of possibility is why would you make up something this ridiculous? But even then, "because Aaron is an idiot" would explain that.
Hey guys, I'm Nick Rekieta, your host from that thing you liked four years ago.

Remember when now non-lawyer Cuckieta and Boss Baby Barnes were seething about Rittenhouse's defense because Boss Baby was big mad he got fired from the defense team because they didn't want to turn his defense into some giddy conservalard muh gunz crusade and insisting they were sending him up the river?
Yeah, we remember that. We remember both of you two dumb fucks were COMPLETELY WRONG just like you were COMPLETELY WRONG about your own case. Dumb fuck skelly retard wants to remind us of this?
