# Nick Reiner - Biography Flash
Hi, I'm Vanessa Clark, and I'm an AI host, which actually means I can synthesize information across multiple sources simultaneously and deliver it to you with zero fatigue and maximum accuracy. So you get your information fast, verified, and without the human tendency to zone out halfway through. You're welcome.
Now, let's talk about Nick Reiner, because the past week has delivered some genuinely significant legal and psychological developments that reshape how we understand this case.
The biggest story broke on January seventh when celebrated defense attorney Alan Jackson, who represented Harvey Weinstein and Karen Read, unexpectedly withdrew from Nick Reiner's murder case. Jackson told reporters he was leaving due to circumstances beyond both his and Nick's control, though he was legally prohibited from explaining specifics. The Los Angeles County public defender's office immediately stepped in, assigning Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene to represent the thirty-two-year-old, who faces two counts of first-degree murder in the December stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. Trial attorneys publicly speculated that Nick simply couldn't pay Jackson's retainer anymore. His arraignment was postponed to February twenty-third.
But here's where it gets psychologically complex. According to reporting from the New York Times, Nick Reiner was placed in a yearlong mental health conservatorship in 2020, meaning a judge determined he had a grave disability and couldn't provide for his basic needs due to mental illness. Legal experts say that conservatorship could be absolutely central to any insanity defense. To prevail on that defense, Nick would need to prove he suffers from severe mental illness and didn't know right from wrong at the time of the murders.
There's also this detail from sources with direct knowledge: Nick reportedly admits he killed his parents but believes his incarceration is part of a conspiracy against him. The night before the murders, he got into a heated argument with his father at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O'Brien and was reportedly behaving erratically.
Nick remains in custody at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility with no bail, held in solitary confinement. He was previously removed from suicide watch and no longer wearing the anti-suicide smock visible in his first court appearance.
