The perjury claim was in reference to her being prevented access to the master bedroom.I believe the perjury claim refers to this.
It appears Nick insists that telling someone "You do not need to come in here" in relation to the master bedroom and shutting the door in their face does not constitute denial of entry to the master bedroom.
This is how Rekieta characterized it:
When Nick first discussed this in June it was already super obvious what had happened:
Nick had done or said things which were as denials of entry to the master bedroom/bathroom area without explicitly saying that he was denying access. He is way less clever than he gives himself credit for.
I had predicted that he insisted on another time to do the walkthrough. Also appears to be correct, as according to the transcript they wanted to hurry up and leave to post bond, but they also insisted on counsel being present at any future meetings.
The sleight of hand from "not allowed" to "prevented" is a classic Rekieta trick. If I had to guess, I would say he insisted on another time "to do a walk through of the whole house" which was taken as a refusal to enter the master bedroom. That's if he's not straight up lying, which is always a likely possibility.
We also have a hint of why Rekieta may not have wanted her in the bedroom which is that Nick tested positive for alcohol after this all went down. If there were bottles strewn throughout the bedroom, that probably would have been frowned upon.
That said, shutting the door and saying "You do not need to come in here" is more explicit than I thought it would be.
But it's still not an explicit "I am not allowing you to come in here", in Rekieta logic it is not a denial of access at all and it's PERJURY!
Bottom line: this kind of brinkmanship doesn't work in these types of cases. All that it means is that the usual benefit of the doubt which would be allowed to parents is lost. You can see it in the case plan. Probably because of the brinkmanship with the hair follicle test release, the case plans which were posted made clear that failures to abide by testing would simply be treated as a positive test.
