Aaron Imholte / Steel Toe Morning/Evening Show / "The Toe Boys" / r/steeltoeboringshow - Disgraced Minnesotan radio host turned racist Internet shock jock. Cuckold chef de Spaghetti-os, "2-2" boxing "coach". Has a legion of a-logs. Lost his wife to a coke addict he played "Strip Twister" with. Fined $50 for sharing nudes of Kayla Rekieta.

He said 2 years. That's not in captured Dixieland's summary, probably because Aaron couched it in some mitigating words, and it's not confirmed.
Per Aaron, the probation terms will be 0-2 years, but could be cut short (I don't know the legal terms). It will also have terms as of now (no Kayla talk).
There it is. I predicted last month that the order with regards to Kayla was the "issue" that Aaron was trying to negotiate out, clearly he failed.
I have no information on the deal offered, but if I had to guess, I would guess that it includes continuing to not mention Kayla as a probation condition and he's going to try and fail to remove that over the coming weeks. I don't know what else would be in the deal that would be objectionable to him.

And "no executed jail" means that he is likely to get a suspended sentence which will depend on him being able to abide by his conditions. The PSI/DAI are listed in there as part of the plea agreement as well.

Seems to me like the deal was offered to Aaron from a position of strength and isn't really that good at all for him. The primary benefit as opposed to going to trial is that he was able to avoid getting hit with the enhancement; although I don't really think this case at all meets the elements for that enhancement, I guess it's possible that the jury would have hated him so much that they got him on that instead of the gross misdemeanor.

There's no indication Aaron pursued this- in fact, he claimed the opposite. Maybe Aaron was lying, IDK, but you're making this up from whole cloth at the present.

Okay, insert "if so" before "he failed".

Last month, Aaron said he received a plea offer but was trying to negotiate something. Ultimately he gave in and took the deal. Unless he was trying to avoid that PSI, I don't see what else there was for him to negotiate.

You may be correct that Aaron's primary issue was NOT to get much probation, or less than 2 years.

However, Aaron has told the story, at least 3x, that Aaron and his lawyer presented their side at the last meeting followed by weeks (months?) of silence until the County agreed to most and wanted to talk. I detected no lies.

I wouldn't search too hard for Aaron being some nefarious player in all of this. He's obviously a performative wannabe but genuinely seemed contrite to "someone I hurt" tonight.

I'm not remotely convinced that Kayla ever gave a shit, tbh. (If we ever see her statement, I will avidly read it.) You know who propelled all of this? Nick Rekieta.

He was going on about wanting to tell "his story" somehow, and how they'd paid an investigator to look into stuff (presumably Nick's tampering with his google account).

Look, I don't believe Aaron any further than I could throw him, but he's a chatty Kathy, and I think he had some dumb idea that somehow he'd be able to hit back at Nick... in a plea deal.

Flip side, I'd much rather the Kayla thing *wasn't* hanging over Aaron, because it cucks the content.

Ultimately we don't know how much evidence they had. Did they have the photo? The plea agreement declaration suggests they had more than the potential og Geno and Keanu. If they didn't, Aaron fucked up accepting this and should have gone to trial.

I assume his lawyer isn't Balldo class though and there was something more than Geno and Keanu.

This is a neutral deal. I said from the start that the upgrade to felony was bullshit. Surprise surprise, Nick was wrong again on a legal issue. This is no big Toe win either. Having a gross misdemeanor hanging over him won't be fun. Yet there is little doubt he did it and this is a fair result.

Maybe we won't ever find out what the evidence was to know if Aaron fucked up by taking the deal.

The drop from felony to misdemeanor is a win.

Could he have gone further? Maybe, as Aaron and apparently his lawyer said- but there was risk and cost. I will never knock a nigger for cutting short the legal process, especially if the impact to their life is a minor mark on their record and the cost of a family trip to Chick-fil-a.

$50 to get it over with vs thousands of dollars and possibility of the lawyer pulling a Ty Beard and Aaron completely losing his ass.

I disagree. Aaron is likely 10 to 15k in already. 10 more for trial is a small price vs that record. Mostly from a job prospects point.

If the state really was relying on only Geno and Keanu, he fucked up. Just like he fucked up not challenging the TRO from his ex and just like he did pleading guilty to violating it, which then cost him his boxing licence. Aaron should learn by now that taking the path of least resistance costs him in the long run.


Ultimately Aaron plead guilty to the crime the state should have charged with him originally. It isn't a W for the Toe. It's an L for Nick.

I say this assuming the state only had Geno and Keanu. The plea declarations suggest they had more. If they really did have a case without them, yes, the plea was the right choice. If not, Toe fucked up. Either way, there is no "Another Win for the Toe" here, even if the alogs are crying.
 
From listening to Aaron today, I got the impression that he thought that reputationally he would look better with a guilty plea than a technical win in the courtroom. The guilty plea allows him to say he is sorry and the terms of the plea deal were actually rather good.

Aaron still thinks he can make a "comeback" And regardless of how realistic that is, saying that he is sorry is a better outcome than a defiant win in court.

The only better outcome than this would have been to get the prosecution to drop the charges entirely. If he went forward with a trial and called their bluff, they might have done it. But its expensive and it still wouldn't have given him much more than what he is already getting.

To me the $50 fine signals that the prosecution was reasonably desperate to save face in this situation. Even though the amount actually looks really bad for them.

The upgrade to a revenge porn felony using the harassment factor relies on the testimony of Nick Rekieta, when Aaron's lawyer handed the prosecutor the clusterfuck that was Nick's own court case where he starved his children, gave one of them Cocaine and acted like a typical Junkie who was wife swapping in front of his children it probably made them throw their hands in the air and say "yeah, fuck this".

It was in a way Nick Rekieta who won Aaron this case in the end. Sorry I mean lost, if you consider $50 dollars for Nick's wife's nudes a loss. (while Aaron is still a loser and several K in the hole I think the real loser here was Nick).

I'd be lying if I didn't say I had hopium for either a dismissal or a trial. Mostly a trial.

I don't blame Aaron for settling, and I don't blame the County for throwing up their hands.

I simply watched too much Law & Order & SVU in my youth. Some justice, somewhere, would be nice at this juncture.

I'm convinced that the only person who will hold Rekieta truly accountable is a kid, Kayla, April, or Dan Sletta coming forward. (A fair number.)

Aaron's a hard guy to like, but he's the ONLY person to have done so solidly with first-hand evidence. Imagine what this thread or Rekieta's would have done without Aaron or MNPublicRecords. Content for months.

Ultimately, sure. Maybe @Balldo's Gate is right: Aaron's some Disney Supervillain Farm's Lolcow for the ages. I just don't see it.

Yeah, no shit. Funny how people are trying to spin this as a massive Aaron L.

Okay, it's technically a minor L. You really don't want to be changed with and have to plead out to anything.

But it's so minor compared to what he was facing, and what Meltonites thought he would get, that it basically wraps around and becomes a W. The dabblefags are fuming.

I am convinced they went that low because they were sick of Nick's shit and the inevitable circus a trial would have been.

It would have been less insulting to Nick if they dropped it completely, honestly.

Aaron has eternally given us a meme about Nick's wife, and the value of Nick's feelings. For that, I raise my glass to him. 🍷
 
Thinking on it from a pure cost perspective, which is better? Spend $50 + lawyer's fees today + small mark in your record, and largely be done today, or;
  • Go to court in a month and spend at least another $5k
  • Have 50% odds you get the same outcome as the plea deal... Less the money you spent
  • 40% odds you get off free (but are out $5k+)
  • 10% odds you get a felony and maybe jail time, and are also out $5k+
