Testimony regarding the warrant might have been required if there had been a Franks hearing and the reliability of the witnesses and reporters was questioned.Doesn't jury decide on the facts of the case? That is do they believe police that there was cocaine present and that lab tested it to be such.
Search warrant is up to the judge. Not to the jury. As such they don't need any testimonies apart from the police doing the search and lab tech doing testing. Police to tell yes white powder was in the house at the time. And lab tech to tell yes it is coke.
Just because they are not needed to defend the warrant in court in front of a jury does not mean there was no possibility of testimony regarding the reporting ever becoming relevant.
Since Aaron's video and statements regarding drug consumption and "experimenting" together with the other polycule members were some of the things the investigator watched and are mentioned in filings, all those things could have been questioned if a Franks hearing had taken place. Painting Aaron as the mad obsessed ex lover who is harassing his former gay boyfriend, the pilled out fucktoy and the now ex-wife cokefiend would have been a legit way to discredit him as a witness (and the RP case is hitting into that notch as well) and use that to challenge the search warrant.
"Your honor, the wifebeater who is currently on probation, physically abused all of us and when we kicked him out he went raging mad. He must have planted that cocaine when he was last here to pick up his stuff, he might have seen me enter the safe code in the past! He created this entire situation, first planting the cocaine, circulating the child neglect/endangerment lies in our church, and then tipping off the police so the house was searched. It was all a set-up!"
And depending how well you can accompany that narrative with incidents, pictures, videos, text messages or clips of Aaron's shows, it is entirely possible to make him out as a very unlikeable asshole who mistreats women and is settling a score. Without the Coke stream Nick would actually have had a pretty good chance to get away with it too, but the video is actual visible proof anyone can look at and come to the reasonable conclusion they are watching an impaired individual who has drug residue on his nose.
That was very enjoyable. Thank you!One really has to feel sorry for whatever poor boomer PI now has to slog through all 7,568 pages of this thread just to catch up on all the free work that's already been done:
