This is a hoot. A bit long, but lots of juicy craziness.

Veteran Miami prosecutor quits after judge's rebuke over conjugal visits for jailhouse informants
By JOSHUA GOODMAN, Associated Press
Updated March 8, 2024 8:52 p.m.
MIAMI, Florida (AP) — A veteran prosecutor in Miami has resigned after a judge found that state investigators manipulated witnesses, including possibly providing conjugal visits to jailhouse informants in exchange for their testimony, in a high-profile death penalty case against a notorious gang leader.
During his career Michael Von Zamft has led some of the biggest murder, conspiracy and racketeering cases in the Florida state attorney’s office in Miami and at times served as a trainer and supervisor to younger prosecutors.
He resigned this week following a stunning rebuke by the judge, who disqualified him and another prosecutor, Stephen Mitchell, from the resentencing trial of gang leader and convicted murderer Corey Smith.

https://www.fox9.com/news/nick-rekieta- ... rug-chargeNick Rekieta, MN lawyer and YouTuber, facing drug charge
Minnesota-based lawyer and online legal analyst Nick Rekieta is facing a drug charge in Kandiyohi County.
Rekieta was arrested Thursday along with his wife Kayla and a fellow online personality. Prosecutors filed charges against Rekieta and his wife on Friday for second-degree possession, child endangerment, and a gross misdemeanor firearm charge.
According to the charges, law enforcement attempted to execute a search warrant on May 23 at Rekieta’s home in Spicer and was greeted by a girl at the front door who would not let them inside.
After Rekieta refused to provide the door code, law enforcement used a door ram to get inside and found Kayla, Imholte, and four juveniles inside.
Law enforcement proceeded to search the master bedroom and bathroom, where they allegedly found a variety of drug paraphernalia, including three small baggies that tested positive for cocaine, eight green tablets that tested positive for Ketamine, and a digital scale, and several other items that tested positive for cocaine, charges claim.
Authorities also found a Sig Sauer AR with several magazines and loose ammunition underneath the bed, a spent shell casing on the bedroom floor, and located additional firearms and ammunition in the garage, according to court records.

Here, if interested, the search warrant for Nick Rekieta's home. Started from suspicion of child neglect and drug use from four reports to a church pastor, whom I understand is a mandatory reporter. One from church preschool teacher relaying children complaining of being hungry, not getting fed, and wearing same clothes for 3 or 4 days until they started to smell. Others about behavior change, weight loss, track marks on arms. Interestingly, Rekieta's appearance on streams including the one above seem a significant part of the probable cause beyond those.
Fun fact: another tweet notes the judge who approved it was one he had once referred to on his stream as "dumb bitch with a leaky pussy."
