Now, insiders also claim that Nick Reiner’s family has completely cut him off financially and emotionally because they are “devastated” and “can’t support him anymore.”

Why Rob Reiner’s Family Has ‘Completely’ Cut Off Alleged Murderer’s Son

The start of the new year brought the long-awaited indictment of 32-year-old Nick Reiner for murdering his celebrity parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Reiner.

However, when the trial began on January 7, his lawyer, Alan Jackson, suddenly announced to the court that he was withdrawing from the case.

Sources have now shared with British journalist, Rob Shuter’s #Shuterscoop that the alleged killer’s family has cut him off.

“The family has completely cut Nick off,” said a close source. “They’re devastated. But they realize they can’t support him anymore — not financially, not emotionally, not morally.”

Another source said that Nick had a bad relationship with his legal team, which may have caused problems with Jackson.

“Even with the best legal team, the client must cooperate. Nick’s behavior over the past weeks—erratic, threatening, unpredictable—left no choice. The family cannot bankroll the chaos,” the source claimed.

“They loved him once,” the insider continued, “but what he did, what happened … it was monstrous. They can’t protect him anymore, and they can’t finance his destruction.”

The alleged killer probably didn’t have the funds to pay his ex’s lawyer, experts say

While Jackson did not disclose his reasons for leaving, experts suggest that his decision was likely linked to the financial demands of the case.

The attorney is considered one of the most sought-after defense attorneys and likely commands at least a seven-figure retainer.

This expense, along with future legal costs, may have been too steep for the accused to sustain.

“Nick Reiner doesn’t have money, if he did, he wouldn’t be living in his parents’ guesthouse. And under the California Slayer statute, if you kill your parents — you’re inherited,” said former federal prosecutor Nema Rahmani. New York Post.

Other experts shared similar sentiments on the exit of the late Rob Reiner’s son’s lawyer

After Jackson walked away from the case, the court appointed public defender Kimberly Green to represent the accused.

The arraignment has been pushed to February, meaning Nick’s plea is unknown for now.

There has also been no indication that Nick’s family plans to hire another private attorney.

According to defense attorney Seth Zuckerman, who once represented actor Jonathan Majors in a domestic violence case, this is further evidence that Jackson’s exit may have been financially motivated.

“If they have the financial resources, they’re going to hire another private attorney,” Zuckerman said of Nick’s family.

Criminal defense attorney Mark Bedero shared the same sentiments as Rahmani and Zuckerman about Jackson’s withdrawal.

“Such representation can cost an extraordinary amount of money,” Bedero said. “Maybe the money isn’t there.

“I don’t know who is controlling the family’s assets, but I imagine that what was expected from the client or the family is not there, and the defense costs are high,” he added.

Nick Rayner is unlikely to face the death penalty if convicted, experts say

After Reiner’s arrest in connection with the death of his parents, rumors that he could face the death penalty have been widespread.

The speculation intensified after District Attorney Nathan Hochman addressed the case at a press conference in December.

At the time, Hochman said the murder count Nick Faces carries a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.

However, Hochman is unlikely to pursue the death penalty if Rahmani and Bedero are found guilty.

“I don’t think this will be a death penalty case. We haven’t executed in California in almost 20 years,” Rahmani said.

“There is no way this will be a death penalty case,” Bedero also said. “I don’t think the Rainer family wants this.”

Alleged killer’s family against death penalty, pleads for mental help for accused

As suggested by Bedero, the Reiner family appears to have voiced their displeasure at the possibility of the death penalty.

A source close to the family recently shared that they believe “Nick is seriously ill” and that ending his life will in no way bring back his late parents.

“They believe that killing him won’t bring Rob and Michelle back — and it won’t fix what went wrong,” the insider told Rob Shuter. #ShutterScoop Last month.

As the case progresses, the family will also fight against any recommendations for the death penalty and would like Nick to receive psychiatric help if he is ultimately found guilty.

“For them it’s about justice, treatment, accountability, and making sure this never happens again,” a different source said, referring to Nick’s recent diagnosis of schizophrenia. “Another death is not justice.”
