Perhaps, but Nick is not being charged with giving his kid cocaine. All of his charges are directly related to his possession of cocaine. His gun charges are because it's illegal to possess firearms while being addicted to a controlled substance. His child endangerment charge is because in the state of Minnesota it is illegal to allow your children to be "present where someone is in possession of a controlled substance" (sauce).There is one exception which may be applicable:
"This exception does not apply to a civil action or proceeding by one against the other, nor to a criminal action or proceeding for a crime committed by one against the other or against a child of either or against a child under the care of either spouse..."
So, if I'm reading this correctly, Kayla could be compelled to testify whether or not it was Nick who gave their kid cocaine.
As such, all of his charges are deeply entangled, and even if you were to argue that his child endangerment charges meet the exemption from spousal privilege, it would be difficult to really separate that testimony from being about the other charges. Trying to skirt the line and pull her in regardless would be difficult, and probably would open up avenues for Rackets to appeal, ultimately causing a lot more problems than her testimony is worth. What would they even tell them? He actually had 27 grams of coke?
